<p>Andre,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Just to stay fair: I checked the FAQ - and none of my questions was answered. Maybe you referred to the Question:<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> What happened to the requirements gathered in 2021?
</span></strong><span class="color0061d5">Admitted there is some text pretending to be an answer. But neither did we ever get an info about the outcome and which requirements were accepted - nor did we see any requirements specification for the vendors. So
saying "</span>The requirements gathering in which the chapters participated was critical to selecting the right AMS." isn't far from "shut up - father knows best".<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So here some further questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">For the sake of a minimum of transparency: can you please make the RFI sent to vendors available?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Was the RFI kind of an requirements specification (RS) or more a generic "can you provide something cool?"?<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Some of the Chapters admins urgently demand since many years a simple API to exchange data between local Chapter Admin Systems and AMS - crucial to keep HQ and Chapters DBs in sync. (An option to transfer bulk data might be a
modest start.) Is this covered by FONTERA? (I'd hate to repeat the rational for a decentralized networked administration between HQ and Chapters).<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p>Best regards<o:p></o:p></p>
