4.OLD BUSINESS

 

a.Duguallabay.org website: Steve Johnson described the problems with Isomedia.com hosting the Duguallbay.org website.  One of the problems is the inability to use duguallbay.org email addresses set up for the Board officers.  Isomedia is paid up until 5/9/2022.

 

Steve also reported that he is the webmaster for two websites hosted by Fidalgo.net and has had a good experience working with them for over twenty years.  He also said that Fidalgo.net is less expensive ($125 vs. $179.40 per year) and they are very helpful if you have a question or problem.

 

Steve Johnson also reported that he created a DCI Board Secretary email address on one of the domain names he maintains on Fidalgo.net.  Myron reported that he was able to successfully use that email address.

 

Myron and Steve Johnson recommended to change the duguallabay.org website hosting services from Isomedia to Fidalgo.net.  The Board discussed the pros/cons as well as the process of making the change.  Steve and Myron explained that the website could be off-line for a week or so during the change.  Myron made a motion to have Fidalgo.net host the Duguallabay.org website.  Motion seconded by Nadia.  Passed unanimously.

 

Once the move to Fidalgo.net is complete, Steve will create Duguallbay.org email accounts for the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.  Myron will confirm the Secretary email address works well and then roll out the President, Vice-President and Treasurer email addresses to the other officers for their use.
