Where is Grex moving to when provide.net closes in a few months?

Now that Grex is back up with an IDE drive, which will hopefully solve the
problem of it crashing frequently, it seems to be that the most critical area
of concern is finding a new ISP. At the board meeting, Steve said that Grex's
current ISP, provide.net, is likely to go under within a few months. Without
an ISP, there is no Grex.
It is my understanding that Tony Publiski, who goes by the username tonster,
has generously offered to host Grex in his basement, on an indefinite and
free-of-charge basis. He has also offered to take on staff duties.
Can the board and staff use this item to discuss the issue, or at least keep
the userbase up-to-date on their plans? I understand that the time of Grex's
volunteers is the scarcest resource it has at the moment. However, finding
a new host is literally vital to the future of Grex. Therefore, I hope that
the people in charge are able to keep the userbase informed.

Er, just to be clear, staff meetings have never been open. Those and the
staff conference are the only exceptions to our open tradition. The idea
was staff needed to have a place to discuss security concerns.
Now, not saying that can't be changed, but keeping those two areas staff
only has worked in the past.
