I have no idea how legal that is, but
thank you - it's the type of thinking that I was hoping for out of this thread.
Maybe that is a potential business model? Although wouldn't the Custodian be on the chopping block if your records weren't in order? If so, they would probably need to be well compensated and/or intimately involved in your operation.
Whether or not professional custodian evolves into an opportunity, IMHO there is quite a bit of opportunity right now for sponsors.
Programs who choose to recognize & provide solutions for the "middle class" webmaster affected most by the regulations stand to gain quite a bit.
Of course it takes more resources to do so, but as your relationship moves from "one sponsor of many" to "almost indespensable partner" then the investment will be paid off. Especially as some of the "middle class" webmasters move up.
In
the thread that raised this discussion for me I suggested that
"Perhaps in the future CEFHGs (custom, exclusive, free hosted galleries)
will be a feature that affiliates look for in a sponsor".
What do you think about the idea of CEFHGs?
What other ways do you think programs can help support webmasters in a mutually beneficial way?
