Name of Organization & Domain Name

["Burrows, Mark" <burrowsm@windsor.ijc.org>]

Greetings all -- During our meeting on March 13-14th we decided that the
name of the organization should be the Great Lakes Association of Science
Ships (GLASS).  I have since attempted to get the domain name www.GLASS.org
or www.GLASS.net to match our name, however I find that they are both taken.

We have a few options that I would like to explore:
1) Keep the Great Lakes Association of Science Ships (GLASS) and create a
domain name other than GLASS that no one has taken yet.
2) Stick with www.glsciencevessels.org and don't worry about a domain name
that matches the organization's name
3) Change the organizations name to Great Lakes Association of Science
Vessels (GLASV) because www.GLASV.org is not taken yet.  This also prevents
people from putting a break in GLASS to get GL ASS which is a potential
source of ribbing. (We all know that sailors have a great sense of humor.)  

Please let me know what you think so we can provide the steering committee
with some feedback/suggestions on how to proceed.  - Mark
