Dear Andre,<br>
<br>
your last communication regarding the roll-out of a new system was
16th June 2023. As we are entering the holiday season in Europe,
yesterday a couple of colleagues asked me whether there was a new
date for roll-out and if the ISOC Portal was likely to be
unavailable soon, as we may launch into some updates and potentially
filing projects for funding. We wouldn't want to be interrupted in
the middle of this work. Just a quick update of where you are would
be helpful.<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

<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>
