Item # 10 - New CFC Website – Update

[Garland Best]

1 person to review all bids seems small, and runs the risk of oversight. We should have 2-3 persons reviewing bids. Do you need additional volunteers for this process? Will, say, the top 2-3 bids be made open for the governors to review?

This is the sort of expenditure that I believe the Governors SHOULD be involved in. It is a major expenditure that has real long term implications on the success of the CFC.

Borrowing on my stadium analogy, hopefully this does not become the CFC's version of "Lansdowne Live". (Ottawa region Governors will get this).

The web site will be approved by the Governors.

We're still early in the process, a lot of things to be determined.

One thing that abso-frickin-lutely has to be in a new website is a good solid working link to this forum preferably on every page.

I'm writing right now from my work machine where I didn't have the Forum bookmarked and had to go through Google to find it.

Oops...

[Christopher Mallon]

Well, the website USED to have a link to the forum on every single page.

I would be willing to do a separate ranking/evaluation of bids if the Exec would like a second/third opinion.

[Lyle Craver]

with respect, I cannot imagine any serious bidder having a problem with putting a link to this forum either / or on the main page or on every page via a sidebar.

Nor can I imagine the Executive accepting a new site that DOESN'T feature such a link!
