Thanks all for the quick responses. Got what we needed.
=20
for clarification:=20
This website does not involve any donations at all. It is simply a bulle=
tin board application that allows US based relatives to post name, last k=
nown location of people in Haiti whom they can not get in touch with. Si=
nce there is still internet access available in Haiti via satellite, ther=
e are people in Haiti who would frequent the list and post a response if =
they happen to know of the whereabouts of someone listed on the site.
=20
once again thank you all.

I'm not sure if it relates to this site, you didn't provide a link to
the report about 1and1
actions but the FBI is very active tracking many sites and hundreds of
domains that
are popping up in several places after the quake and that are a scam.
I'm not saying this site is legit, but just starting with the name it
sounds very suspicious.
I second the recommendation to support the Red Cross or other well establ=
ished
relief organizations.
If you are willing to provide a contribution another option is
http://www.unfoundation.org/.
UNDP is also providing updates via youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/un=

Jorge
