Is this settled then that CLUE will remain with VPSLink then?

I am open to suggested changes for the CLUE web site, email lists, etc.  But what I would like to do is have things settled and migrated over from the OpenVZ to Xen VPSLink system.

If this can be determined and on the premise that CLUE will remain with VPSLink, I can start work on obtaining the VPS under Linux ETC's VPSLink account.  Once that is done, I can coordinate with Jed and others about migrating from "old" to "new".  This will also need to include the DNS records which I do not recall who has access to those at this time.  In the mean time, with the collection hat being passed around, I can invoice CLUE via Linux ETC for the annual cost of the VPSLink account so it is settled.  The remaining funds can be kept for a rainy/snowy day. 

Thoughts, comments, questions, etc. are welcomed.  

Also to note (as usual) I get this list in Digest format so pardon any delays in responding in advance.
