[Eg-oversight-board] EG2013 (and future) conference website domains

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

+1 on  egYEAR.evergreen-ils.org <http://egyear.evergreen-ils.org/>.

+1 on having the upcoming conference always resolve to
conference.evergreen-ils.org

Is there a reason we couldn't leave the archives of each at the
egYEAR.evergreen-ils.org?

Communications Committee seems the reasonable group to handle DNS matters.
 Galen, are you on the Communications Committee?  Want to be?
