On November 20, 2007 Mark Christian made the following announcement:
I regret that we have not been able to get to a point where we can move off the Apollo server. We are having particular difficulties with the search function of the Boards.
I am covering the expenses of the past month of PowerVPS as well as continuance into December. We will do further testing there, and also have a plan to do functional test in a different server environment if we fail there.
So, unfortunately the current Apollo expense continues for now. There will be no expenses for the testing.
There was no old business.
It was moved by Mark Christian and seconded by Rich Lowe that Friends of IAGenWeb fund the initial month of hosting by PowerVPS in an amount up to $84.50 beginning October 25, 2007. Upon the successful cutover to the new server in November additional payments cease for the dedicated server at Apollo Hosting and ongoing payments, not to exceed $84.50 per month, are approved for hosting at PowerVPS through June, 2008. In event of failure the initial funding will be refunded unless a new funding plan is approved by Friends of IAGenWeb.
