Yet when an attempt is made to access that site the result is an Internet message indicating that the site has never been implemented. Communications to us from the MTC indicate an intention to establish the site by the end of last year. We are at a loss to understand why this is taking so long. My own personal experience when I last established a web site is that it takes a week at the very most. Since that time web sites can be established even more quickly.
Costs are minimal.
Common word processing programs have free add-on modules to convert documents to the proper format for publication on a web site. Indeed maintaining a web site is so easy and inexpensive that thousands of people maintain their own personal web sites. In the past I have requested MTC documents in electronic form in order to post them, with MTC permission, on the Internet. The MTC has responded to those requests and as a result I have posted the MTC's Draft Use Tax Guidelines, Bulletin 95-1, and the Public Participation Policy on the web. I now extend that offer to include any and all MTC meeting notices as well as any other documents the MTC chooses to provide.
