    The Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies (CCDoTT) is a chartered maritime research group operating within the California State University, Long Beach Foundation organization.

    I have set up a Restricted BOD site on the BBS. Lets test it to see if it helps with spam and maybe just makes BOD messaging easier. It still lets us use the email address theboard@foils.org. So once you set up the password on the BBS and set it to forward messages to your email you can see messages either at your email or on the BBS. It also has a voting capability. and will handle any attachments. It also collects all messages on any topic in one place for ease of review. It also has an archive capability to permanently collect old actions.

    The first area of the BBS entitled "General Administration" has been resrticted to BOD use. It can not be accessed without a BOD password.

    The password for the Board of Directors section is "theboard"

    Use the following url on your web browser to go to the password entering page.

    http://www.bulletinboards.com/chkpswd.cfm?comcode=foils

    Enter the password and check the box that saves it for future use.

    This should give you permanent access to this restricted area to conduct all BOD business

    What exactly are you planning to try? If it's checking out the provider's spam filter, OK.

    If it's doing away with the XXX.foils.org entirely, there are a lot of references on the website and elsewhere that have to be changed in parallel. This includes all our "profiles" on PayPal.

    Something to keep in mind.

    Ken,

    Join the group. I get it re president AND editor. Also get what is
    supposed to go to Mark Bebar.

    I had talked to Barney about this sometime ago and he felt it was important
    for the world to be able to contact the officers of the IHS easily. I
    agreed at the time. I must admit that it is less on comcast than it was
    when I had erols.
