>Is it possible to update the Minimum Cow Protection Standards as they

>appear on the ISCOWP website http://www.angelfire.com/co/iscowp/

>

>I really find it very convenient just to log onto the website whenever I

>need to quote the standards, but there are a number of small, but

>important changes that should be made if at all possible:

 

 

I have made not of the suggested changes which seem appropriate. Our

webmaster temporarily does not have regular computer access. He will be

arriving here in mid May for a long term stay and his major goal is to work

on the WEB page. At that point he will be able to address changes and

increasing the WEB page.

>Probably "proposed" should be taken off and something like "Endorsed by

>the Ministry of Cow Protection and Agriculture and approved by ISKCON's

>Governing Body Commission, March 1999" should be substituted.

 

Noted.

>At the same time, we should make sure that the most recent, up-dated

>version is posted.

The one approved by the GBC is onthe WEB page.

 

 

>Also, all the standards should be made visible:

>But, still on my computer, I can only read up to Section 1, V Milking.

>After that, everything is black. [i can block it all and paste it into

>my wordprocessor, but I doubt that our GBC's will be willing to go

>through that hassle.] So, it's important to correct this.

 

This I can't understand since I have gone on the page many times and

everything is readable. I will note it to the WEB master.

>

>Also, for some reason, even though I have made a web bookmark, ISCOWP's

>name does not show up in the bookmark, it's just blank.

>Another thing is that you might want to do is to do a search for

>"ISCOWP" on the web. I found several different connections, but they

>didn't have the cow protections standards. Is is possible to

>de-activate some older sites?

>

>The other side of this is to do a search for "ISKCON" and make sure that

>the different websites include a link to ISCOWP.

 

Yes, will note to WEB master.

>

>Also, Chaya and Balabhadra, is there anyway that you could add a line to

>your e-mail sign-off -- something like

>Minimum Cow Protection Standards http://www.angelfire.com/co/iscowp/

>

 

I don't know how to do this. If someone could tell me,I will do it. It

sounds like a good idea.

 

 

>Finally, do you think it would be a good idea to put the cow evaluation

>form on the website?

 

Yes, then somone could print it out from there.

>

>Actually, one more thing I was thinking of was asking Paramananda prabhu

>if he would be willing for us to post *Ox Power - Ki Jaya! An Ox Power

>Manual*. I have it on disk. As long as he keeps the copyright, I think

>he might agree to let us do it. Is this something we would be

>interested in?

 

Yes, so please ask him.

 

I could also scan Sadhana-siddhi's drawing of the

>Ox-Yoke pattern if that would be useful. Anyway, let me know what you

>think.

 

Yes, this wouild be a good item on the WEB page. I noticed you submitted a

file of this to the conference recently, but I did not get it since I am a

forwarded account from COM. Also TIFF is the largest file you can get. Try

gif. I believe gif and jpg (for photos) can be used on WEB pages.

Thank you for your input on the WEB page. We are anxious to have an updated

and comphrensive page but must wait for Krsna's arrangement for our WEB

master. Since he has become a vegetarian and now devotee from working on the

page it is important that he continue his service to Krsna in this way for

now. And, we know nothing about WEB pages.
