AGORACOM Maintenance Alert: Going Offline Tonight, and Friday night for about an hour
Dear Members.
AGORACOM will be updating our server framework tonight and tomorrow night. As a result our discussion forums will be down for 1 hour or less.
These problems stemmed from our recent switch to a new web host and some issues with our DNS records (the settings that tell your web browser where our website is located). We believe we have squashed these bugs and are looking forward to pushing these updates through.
In anticipation of this scheduled maintenance we suggest the following:
1. If you are going to post any long and intensive material after 6PM either tonight or on Friday night, save a copy. We don’t expect to lose any data from the last 2-3 hours but better to be safe than sorry
2. Our blog (which you are reading right now) and Twitter account will be unaffected during the downtime, so feel free to contact us at either if you have any issues and can’t reach us through the site.
Best thing to do is to post comments on our blog. Alternatively you can reach us by emailing contactagora@agoracom.com
3. We expect the migration to be very smooth but please let us know if you have any issues.
4. If you are in Toronto, or the GTA, enjoy the weather! Summer is here so go out and have some fun!
We trust the above to be satisfactory as we strive to continually provide you with a great AGORACOM experience.
Thanks,
George and the AGORACOM Team

QUITO, Ecuador: Highlights from Ecuador's 444-article draft constitution, which would be the Andean nation's 20th.
_ The president can dissolve Congress once and Congress will have one opportunity to unseat the president. In either case, general elections would be called.
_ The president controls monetary and credit policy, which are currently handled by the Central Bank
_ The president can run for one four-year term of re-election.
_ Same-sex unions will be afforded the same rights as heterosexual marriages.
_ Unpaid domestic work is considered productive labor and those who work in the home are eligible for social security.
_ The constitution includes many expressions in Quichua, Ecuador's most widely spoken indigenous language, including, "Ama killa, ama llulla, ama shwa" an ancient Quichua behavioral code meaning: "Don't be lazy; don't lie; don't steal." Indian languages Quichua and Shuar join Spanish as Ecuador's official languages.
_ Military service is no longer mandatory.
_ Foreign military bases or installations are prohibited on Ecuadorean soil. The United States has operated anti-drug surveillance flights out of Ecuador's Manta air base since 1999. The 10-year lease expires next year, and will not be renewed.
_ Undocumented immigrants will not be considered "illegal."
_ The appropriation of genetic resources that contain biological diversity and agricultural biodiversity will be prohibited.
