Go figure.). Good thing you weren't able to do this since this isn't what we normally do. ;-> Normal procedure is to: 1) Change old home pages(s) to re-direct pages; 2) remove any unnecessary files; 3) change links to the site on CCN pages; 4) close down the old edit group; 5) close down the old majordomo list; 6) transfer ownership of the directory tree to fn-edit. Therefore David P. &/or Michael S.: Can you: 1) Transfer the /csuite/info/Law/PLENS directory tree to fn-edit; 2) Close down the edit group plens; 3) Close down the majordomo list plens; 4) Remove the following directory and file (I wasn't able to); /csuite/info/Law/PLENS/images/logobord.gif /csuite/info/Law/PLENS/images I have changed the former home pages to re-direct pages to the new site; removed extraneous files; and made all the appropriate changes to the IPDB entries. > I seriously doubt that the organization's new webhost (Auracom) is > giving them as good a deal as Chebucto could have (record below). Doubtless not.

With IP Training having disappeared and the CCN Editors having been stripped of meaningful functions or responsibilities, and with many key people who had relationships with IP organizations having departed, IP relations to the CCN have further declined to purely financial transactions. It's particularly distressing to see significant community organizations like the Legal Information Society of Nova Scotia - a community organization with obvious kinships with the CCN - depart or site after 6 years here for no discernible reason. > Something to consider for the upcoming inaugural meeting of the 2001 > Board.
