[CRNMC] URGENT! We have to decide on the website by Friday!

[Carrie Durkee]

I'm now more inclined to have just one…after all.

Thanks to all.

I can't evaluate the dial-up issue, but in my opinion the two-website idea is not optimal.  The website will be our on-line face to the world.  It's important that it be engaging, up-to-date, and filled with information in a convenient format.  Again, thanks to both webmasters.  MStJ.
