THE CD

 

The Yohi World CD, established in 2002, is a very complicated issue and no decision has been made as to what should / could be done with it.

Complications are that it contains 'sites' belonging to more than one person, and contains material NOT included on the web site.  However, the most complex issue is that it is produced in a 'private' form where it is specifically purchased -- as opposed to the 'public domain' medium used on the internet for the web site.  

Issues are not totally understood yet as to how it can be transferred to new ownership.  More investigation and thought must be given before any logical approach can be taken.

To possibly stabilize and minimize the complications, the actions that will probably be needed will be the removal of  everything belonging to 'others' [other than myself], then sole ownership by one person becomes the condition.  Just the removal requires many many manhours of effort.

Also a complicating factor are the hundreds and hundreds of hours of work on someone's part that will be required to produce a NEW CD, even if it be made from material already developed and on the web site. 

Then the possible options might be:

*Destroy the existing CD and not permit its use in any form into the future.
*Permit RT to make a new CD using the existing web site material.
*Permit RT to make copies of the existing CD 'as is' -- no modifications.
*Permit RT to use existing CD as a basis for the continued creation and updating of the CD into the future: 
*With removal of selected parts of the existing CD:
Web sites of others
Replace / amend authorship so ownership changes
Modify distribution policy / use restrictions and limitations
*Without the removal of selected parts of the existing CD
