Just the commentary has me wondering as a) the site makes mention of the board of director 'qualifications' but doesn't reveal who the six board members are or identify what their qualifications and skills actually are; b) the commentary certainly reveals that they (or at least the site's authors) haven't a clue about book/paper or electronic/machine-readable format preservation/conservation.

I deplore NFPs which are not fully transparent.

I just looked over the website, and was able to find only the first name of a single person.

Nichols Garden Nursery is a garden company in Albany. If anyone has any contacts there, they might be able to shed some light on the subject. (Alas, I am only an occasional NGN seed and herb customer)
