	This page ~~shows~~ the ~~full text~~ of ~~two transition announcements made by the~~ interim technical team ~~who~~ set up the mac-min.org mailing list, two messages from the outgoing CMUG President, and a message from the new Board~~. The current membership of the Board and the Operational Board is also shown here for reference~~.		This page is maintained purely as a historical record.

			At the end of 2010 some key officers of CMUG, giving priority to pastoral and other responsibilities in their churches and families, did not give as much attention to certain technical problems as other CMUG members believed was required. Some members then formed an interim technical team, set up a mailing list at the domain mac-min.org intending that the entire group should migrate there, and issued the announcements below. Unfortunately this led to misunderstandings and mistrust which lasted a few weeks and nearly split the group into two. However, by the end of February 2011 the group was reunited, with a new [[Board members\|Board]] including members of the interim tech team alongside the former leadership, and a single mailing list on a new server.

	As the name “Christian Mac ~~Users~~ Group” implies, our goal has always been to support Christians using Macs, but with a particular concentration on those using Macs for ministry (hence the name “Mac Ministry” for the mailing list). We are exploring ways to continue doing this while also better serving the general Christian Mac-using world. Moreover, we are considering the explosive growth of iOS and exploring the best ways to bring our community’s fellowship and combined knowledge to those who are Apple users, but not in the traditional “Mac-user” sense we might have considered in the past.

	For these reasons, we will be changing our name to better reflect not only our focus on Ministry to non-members of our community, but also to align with Apple’s official naming convention for this new era of non-Mac-centric technology. Just as Apple Computer, Inc. became Apple, Inc., '''CMUG is going to become CATUG: the Christian Apple Technology ~~Users~~ Group.'''

	Although CATUG’s continuing ministry will be expanded in its breadth, rest assured that we are not going to forsake our original purpose. The exact plans for expansion remain fluid, but we will not dilute the character that makes the Mac Ministry list so valuable to us all. Moreover, we want to reaffirm our commitment to CMUG’s overarching principles by renewing our adherence to CMUG’s Statement of Faith and Mission Statement, without alteration, save to the organization’s name. These were adopted 25 years ago by this organization and can be found at the conclusion of this letter.
