Thank you so much, Bob

We are aware of the whitespace thing. It's because I made the banner and
I don't know enough frontend Web development to quickly figure out how
to make things work well in an iframe. I believe it is a result of
something hacky I did to avoid the iframe being too small for the
content on the FSF Web page in an earlier version.

I hope to work on it soon -- let me know if you have any tips.

Two questions:

When it is time to take down this banner, should I email you?

In the future if we need a banner put up, do you have any suggestions
about who we should ask or how to go about it? Perhaps you could
document the process so that it is easier for others in the future?
