The new AMS portal has been live now for nearly two weeks, and we have been receiving some questions on various functionality options such as:</div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;color:rgb(37, 96, 28);min-height:14px">

<br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;color:rgb(37, 96, 28)">ISOC will be holding a series of online training sessions to answer these and other questions that may have arisen since the launch.<span style="color:#000000"> </span>As with the earlier online demos, these trainings will need to be held via Webex, as the screen-sharing of Marratech is not quite up to the task. Also as before, we will hold two identical sessions:</div>
<div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;color:rgb(37, 96, 28);min-height:14px"><br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;color:rgb(37, 96, 28)">
December 10th <b>UTC 11:30 and UTC 20:00</b></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;color:rgb(37, 96, 28);min-height:14px"><b></b><br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;color:rgb(37, 96, 28)">
With those two sessions we hope to cover most of the world's chapters. For audio, we are requesting that chapter officers use the attached conference-phone numbers for their respective countries. The reasoning behind this is twofold:</div>

1) Preserving bandwidth for the screen sharing (VOIP takes more bandwidth than normal telephony)</div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;color:rgb(37, 96, 28);min-height:14px"><br>
</div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;color:rgb(37, 96, 28)">2) Normal telephony is less prone to technical problems with audio (such as headsets, drivers, java versions, etc). </div>
