I would say that before we take any action we should learn what Chris envisions for the NGC/IC site. Just because he is looking for sponsors doesn't mean he wants someone else to host it. And, from a purely personal perspective, I'm not looking to add any more website responsibilities at this time. I could agree with Steve's original suggestion, that SAC make a one-time financial contribution to the effort. Perhaps the same request could be sent to EVAC?
