Mike, that ought to do just fine. It serves as not just the funding
paperwork, but also as a final report from the committee on this
matter. All that needs done is to fill the rest in: dates, email
address, etc.

I've been pretty quiet on this lately. I wasn't sure which would work
better: linode or slicehost. So I was hoping someone else would say
something. But you made the right choice going with SliceHost. The
backup ought to be worth it. Plus, you've spoken with the guy who runs
it, and I would hope he's that accessible when we would need help.

I think you should pass it on to the entire Board. Especially Beth
Lynn, since she's effectively the Internet Committee's liaison. Plus,
she might know how quickly we could move on this.

Formal approval in this case is absolutely essential, seeing how we're
dealing with hundreds of dollars. Once your report is in front of the
entire board, we'll be able to move faster if they adopt the
recommendation.

Kudos to you, Mike, for all the work you've done on this. As for me,
I'll try to get a bit more active. There's likely some heavy lifting
to do to get Penguin transferred to the new server. I must help out
with that somehow.
