[Loch-Ruadh] Possibility of Loch-Ruadh.net

[Padraig Ruad O'Maolagain]

At Populace Meeting last Wednesday, Lord Timothy of Glastinbury brought up a proposal that I suggested should be discussed before we made a decision about.

The proposal is to establish loch-ruadh.net (or lochruadh.net), much as our Barony has elfsea.net.  Timothy has offered to handle all the arrangements and will host this web address.  While there are several advantages to having our own web address, the two primary ones would be to move the Canton website to www.lochruadh.net, and the availability of both officer and personal lochruadh.net email addresses (for example, seneschal at lochruadh.net, or johnsmith at lochruadh.net).

Timothy has even offered to pay the cost for securing the web address, but I am hesitant to ask him to do so, as he is already offering to host the address for us, and it strikes me as unfair to expect him to pay for the name as well.  If we decide to do this, I think that the members of Loch Ruadh should come up with the funds.  If I remember correctly, the initial cost is $70 for two years (someone correct me if this has changed).  If everyone who thinks this is a good idea is willing to contribute a couple of bucks, we can easily pay for it.

Discussion?  I think we should try to have an answer by next Populace Meeting at the latest.

In Service,
Padraig
