<br>
Is it possible to have a preview of what the portal looks alike ? Eventually a demo version where we can have a first view of how the application works ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

*Dear Chapter Delegates, Chapter Steering Committee, and AMS PoCs:*<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
<br>
The “alpha version” of the new ISOC Chapter portal was demonstrated July 21st to members of the Chapter Steering Committee (CSC ), and all those who had previously indicated an interest in the portal. Thanks once again to everyone who provided feedback during and after that session.<br>
<br>
We have now incorporated many changes suggested, and would like to extend an invitation to the CSC, the AMS Point of Contacts, and to members of the Chapter delegates mailing list to review the Beta version of the portal.<br>
<br>
This Beta version of the portal will have many enhancements, several driven directly by the feedback from the last session, including:<br>
<br>
1) Better look and feel overall (including updated terminology to more closely match ISOC processes)<br>
<br>
2) Sign-up for Chapter membership more prominent earlier in the sign-up workflow<br>
<br>
3) More member types available in the system<br>
<br>
4) Ability for zero-value memberships to automatically renew<br>
<br>
In order to accommodate the greatest number of participants globally, this time around we will be hosting two separate sessions:<br>
<br>
*^*September 9th: UTC 11:30 *and the second at UTC 20:00 *<br>
<br>
*With these two scheduled demos we are hoping that everyone will have the opportunity to choose a suitable time.*<br>
<br>
*About the Chapter Portal*<br>
<br>
ISOC is still in the process of implementing a new Association Management System (AMS). The software package called Aptify will be the central data holding and management platform for all data on ISOC Chapters, their members, ISOC individual members, organizational members, and events.<br>
<br>
The ISOC Chapter Portal will be the interface through which chapters will interact with the new system. The portal to be demonstrated on September 9th is still the "Phase II" Chapter portal - it is intended as a replacement for the Q/GoMembers portal currently deployed, but it is NOT the open-source platform portal that is the ultimate goal for the long-term AMS project. (The Phase III open-source version will replace the Phase II version in 2010.) Therefore, there may be limits to what feedback & requirements gathered from this session can be incorporated into this portal to be launched on October 15th.<br>
<br>
As before, please reply to this email if you are interested (and which session is best for you), and I will send out a Webex invitation to each participant. Webex is screen-sharing software that supports most browsers & operating systems, including many open-source: <a href="http://support.webex.com/support/system-requirements.html" target="_blank">http://support.webex.com/support/system-requirements.html</a> . We will also provide local toll-free voice.conference numbers to most countries for this session, via our ISOC conferencing service.<br>
<br>
Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you --<br>
<br>
