    <p>Thank you for the updates Christine. That is indeed good news --
      that Connect will soon be gone. One can hope that Fonteva will not
      carry-over the worst sins of Connect. Then again, the current AMS
      email is likewise a pain which is why we only use it when we have
      to (like once every 2 years for elections), and instead resort to
      alternatives such as GoogleGroups and various Messaging Apps.</p>
    <p>Yes, the upcoming ChAC call next week would be a good time to
      discuss corporate messaging, the new AMS, etc. For messaging i
      believe the thing we have to avoid is mandating use of or
      restricting communications to a single "tool" such as Connect
      simply to justify (post hoc) the decision and expense of having
      such a tool in the first place. <br>
    </p>
    <p>See you next week, <br>
    </p>
    <p>WYn<br>
      Philippines<br>
    </p>
    <p>P.S.  Good to touch base and talk (even briefly) with ISOC staff
      at APRICOT the other week, too bad neither you nor Nick were
      there.<br>

                  <p class="">Thank you for the heads-up Rama, the
                    objective of getting as many Chapter Leaders as
                    possible to sign-up for the course is a
                    <i class="">good thing</i>. What i'm wondering then
                    is, given that you want to encourage sign-ups, why
                    send the links thru
                    <b class="">Box</b>? That is a rather roundabout way
                    of doing it. <br class="">
                  </p>
                  <p class="">Also, if you're going for maximum reach,
                    why not share this invitation to the Chapter
                    Delegates on
                    <a href="http://elists.isoc.org" class=""
                      moz-do-not-send="true">elists.isoc.org</a>? Is
                    there some policy that dictates use of
                    <b class="">Connect</b> in lieu of the more
                    straightforward elists? <br class="">
                  </p>
                  <p class=""><b class="">Connect</b> has several
                    problems, not least of which it tends to munge
                    (mutilate!) and auto-truncate email messages
                    (leaving out much of the thread and therefore
                    context). Even the links you provided below are
                    obfuscated when read in
                    <b class="">Connect</b>'s full HTML. Plain text
                    links are not only simple and straightforward, they
                    are also a safety feature (obfuscated links being a
                    favorite tactic of spammers and scammers). I am
                    assuming that these links need not be private or
                    confidential (the justification for <b class="">Box</b>),
                    and thus need not be obfuscated by <b class="">
                      Connect</b> or sent via <b class="">Box</b>. <br
                      class="">
                  </p>
                  I hope we try to Keep It Simple, as even plain-text
                  links sent to those unfamiliar with the ISOC Learn LMS
                  can be difficult to follow. (I was a mentor at the
                  launch of this "new" LMS, and even with clear links
                  and a supplementary PDF FAQ, and hand-holding
                  follow-up support, some of the new learners had
                  difficulties).
