</div>Technically that's essentially a solved problem, but getting<br>
all lists in a place where they won't get lost too easily.<br>
For example, the original ncdnhc-discuss list from 2001-2003<br>
is already buried rather deep, and I suspect there're even<br>
older lists somewhere I don't know about.<br>

</div>Six weeks is a short time. I think we should be able to have<br>
_something_ up by then, but whether we're able to migrate<br>
everything we want from Ning so fast, I wouldn't bet on it.<br>

<br>
</div>Yes. On thing in particular I'd like to fix, like right now,<br>
is the charter page linked from the Resources tab:<br>
<a href="http://ncuc.org/page/charter-1" target="_blank">http://ncuc.org/page/charter-1</a><br>
Talking about something that's going to happen 1st quarter of 2012<br>
as if it were still in the future... aaargh.<br>
How about simply replacing it with a link to this:<br>
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Bylaws+of+the+Noncommercial+Users+Constituency" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Bylaws+of+the+Noncommercial+Users+Constituency</a><br>

</div>We'll need to go over the Ning site anyway in preparation of<br>
the migration, and depending on how we go about it we might<br>
find it as easy or even easier to update some things in there,<br>
before the migration. I wouldn't spend much energy on it,<br>
but we should not assume we can get completely rid of it<br>
before Beijing. So fixing at least the most glaring gunk<br>
as well as whatever comes easily in migration planning<br>
would make sense to me.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>As I said above, we'll have very little to actually migrate. The blog posts export easily. The groups are largely defunct or shells w/no actual data, so probably no need to migrate them. The other handful of pages are static and copied with a couple clicks. AFAICT, the only possibly labor intensive part is if/how we migrate the member pages.</div>
