               Speed of Migration
               Something to consider is what you want out of migration in Part 3.  At that time
               you will receive your final Site Builder data extract.  You will put a freeze on your
               Site Builder site just before this happens but any changes to your Site Builder
               site after this time will not be reflected automatically in your SiteWorks site and
               you will need to maintain both websites until such time as you are ready to go
               live on your server.

               If your Site Builder site is not very dynamic or relatively small then time might not
               figure highly in your thoughts and you could be content to spend days or even
               weeks on your server site before going live.  If you want a fast migration then
               advanced preparation in terms of planning and preparing text/media as needed
               will be key critical for you.  This is something only you can decide and implement.
               Next Steps
               In Part 2 you have had the opportunity to review your migrated site content, plan
               the content and visuals of your new SiteWorks site, thought about how you will
               achieve this, practiced using u3a SiteWorks on some of your pages, decided
               whether to continue with migration or opt for a Starter site, and you have
               checked or modified your Site Builder site for final migration.  You should also
               have some ideas as to how to create a page and contact form for your
               committee.

               A nominal two weeks has been allocated to this part of the process but there are
               very many reasons why this time could be longer or shorter.  Within reason you
               can take as long as you need in each part of this process.  There is no pressure
               although if you have not been in contact in a few weeks it is highly likely that a
               team member will contact you to ensure you are safe and well and that you are
               still proceeding at your own pace.

               When you are ready then please get back to the Migration Team using
               migration@siteworks.u3a.org.uk and tell them that you are ready to move on to
               Part 3.  Your u3a status on Open Project will be changed to alert the Migration
               team that you need assistance.

               Migrator Contact
               Your Migrator will make contact with you.  As before this could be within hours or
               it could be a much longer period of time.  Again, it depends on the workload of
               the Migrator at that particular time.
