<p dir="ltr">Can I suggest something different ie </p>
<p dir="ltr">1. Since members primarily interact/interface with their chapters<br>
2. Why not let members sign up on chapter sites instead<br>
3. Chapters can then provide members database to HQ every month to then be updated into the AMS<br>
4. Hence if prospect new members go to <a href="http://isoc.org">isoc.org</a>, they will then be pointed to the respective chapter website<br>
5. This way members will get to know their chapters and its activities before deciding to sign up and hopefully engage and contribute. <br><br></p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you. </p>

<div>ISOC Staff are undertaking a long overdue maintenance of our
database. We are starting with member records and want you to
know the plan and what it means for you.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Over the course of the next two to four weeks, we will
monitor all primary email addresses of all member records. Any
email address that returns four "hard bounces" to our system
will flag that member record as "unreachable". At the end of
four weeks we will unsubscribe all such records in the database
from receiving email from ISOC, and we will cancel these
memberships. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We will not, at this time remove any name from the database.
We will also, within two weeks following this action, compile
a list of all removed members and make that list available to
all Chapters affected. <br>

Ted - can I suggest a better process might be to compile the list of
all candidates for deletion, make that list available to the chapter
to resolve/confirm/check *before* cancelling the memberships, and
only unsubscribe + cancel those that the chapter confirms are no
longer members or have not been able to contact locally?<br>
<br>
If a contact has multiple email addresses listed, if the primary one
returns bounces will your process attempt to contact the secondary
email addresses before cancelling their membership?<br>
<br>
<br>
Might be a smaller chance of embarrassing collateral damage and
false negatives causing people to be incorrectly cancelled and
having to be reinstated again if things are done in this sequence.<br>
<br>
