Potential Presenters and Topics
2009-11 Stan created link to
potential speakers and topics.
SLUUG Domain
2009-06 Tasked Craig to update SLUUG.ORG to show 3 names in WHOIS data.
2009-08-31 Domain SLUUG.ORG only shows 2 names in WHOIS data.
2009-09 Per Gary: Stan & I are the current 2 names so we (rather than Craig) need to add the 3rd.
2009-10 Not Discussed
2009-11 Status quo
SLACC Domain
Per Gary In August, someone already renewed until Sept 2011! Presumably Noel since he is still the ONLY listed contact.
The LONG renewal does violate our concept of using annual renewals so that
we keep an institutional memory (and familiarity), but we'll have to work it.
We still need to get Noel to include our names/addresses in the registration.
Per Gary: It was renewed for another year in July by an anonymous registrant in the Netherlands.
It is being used for the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce.
