Fully agree! Needless to say, that is one of Fred Baker's features, who 
always does that. I also used my last stay in New York to see the local 
chapter.

Well, are there volunteers to prepare some handbook on proper (secure) usage?

Narelle,
That's a KEY problem for ALL iSOC chapters. We need to address this 
somehow, and make sure there are people who work permanently on ISOC 
projects. One of the possible ideas would be to use the chapters funding 
for hiring someone to do some (or all) of the work within one chapter.
