Index of Subjects Hi James... Good question... 1) Actually you would not have to re-licence unless you wanted to upgrade to version 2.0 You could continue to operate by re-newing your previous licence (providing you are still in compliance with the terms and conditions of that licence). 2) As you noted... it's unlikely that we will be requiring a site to re-licence more than one in a year... we're a volunteer organization and we don't want to have to deal with any more paperwork than necessary, <Thinking Out Loud> It's possible that for sites who meet the requirements of a standard licence we could automate the renewal process through use of conventions. Perhaps... locating the public notice which satisfies "...no barriers to access, financial or otherwise" requirement in a specified location such as Services/Registration/index.html We could use a 'robot' type system to confirm the policy. For sites that follow this convention, the licence renewal, upgrading could be very easy to manage... on both ends... </Thinking Out Loud> david potter On Thu, 6 Mar 1997, James Fifield wrote: > Who determines when Version 2.0 comes out.
