ok - so how do you propose to greatly expand our direct readership/membership - especially if others are starting to steal our name?

Who is starting to steal our name?

And if what we want is to change the conventional wisdom, is greatly increasing the number of our readership/membership the primary concern? It's just as effective to be read by a smaller number of influential people (measured by how many people read them).

I know this sounds horribly commercial, but you do have an established brand which you are not leveraging very much.  I see someone else has now taken up the Eurotribune.eu and .net domains and styles themselves as "The European Tribune: Independent Journal - and is sometimes ranked above Eurotrib in google rankings.  You stand still in this game, and you could lose prominence very quickly.

Eurotribune predates Eurotrib, I think. They're a group of Spanish academics and journalists. I did some research on them a while ago. Note that they have funding from some sort of EU media programme.

How many of the Eurotrib.* domains do we not own?

Any reason why we can't apply for similar support, especially as we are far more pan european in membership and with a significant input/influence beyond yurp?

No reason at all. I'll get my sister on the case.
