[Klug-general] Domain Name

[Kevin Groves]

Though I would tend to say not renew unless there is good reason to 
renew. We don't make use of the website really and efforts to encourage 
that have not really gone well. The list pretty much covers all our 
requirements at the moment so let it go.

As far as raising a collection then it will be cutting it fine but not 
impossible to do so. I have yet to book the date of the next lug as I'm 
trying to confirm the date to book and organise a huge conference in 
Bristol but seeing that group is undecided and if the lug want to meet 
before the end of Jan then I will have to book the room with the 
certainty that I won't be there.
