>>  1)  Better look and feel overall (including updated terminology to more
>> closely match ISOC processes)
>>
>>  2)  Sign-up for Chapter membership more prominent earlier in the sign-up
>> workflow
>>
>>  3)  More member types available in the system
>>
>>  4)  Ability for zero-value memberships to automatically renew
>>
>> In order to accommodate the greatest number of participants globally, this

>>
>> *^*September 9th:  UTC 11:30 *and the second at UTC 20:00    *

>> *About the Chapter Portal*
>>
>> ISOC is still in the process of implementing a new Association Management
>> System  (AMS). The software package called Aptify will be the central data
>> holding and management platform for all data on ISOC Chapters, their
>> members, ISOC individual members, organizational members, and events.
>>
>> The ISOC Chapter Portal will be the interface through which chapters will
>> interact with the new system.  The portal to be demonstrated on September
>> 9th is still the "Phase II" Chapter portal - it is intended as a replacement
>> for the Q/GoMembers portal currently deployed, but it is NOT the open-source
>> platform portal that is the ultimate goal for the long-term AMS project.
>> (The Phase III open-source version will replace the Phase II version in
>> 2010.)  Therefore, there may be limits to what feedback & requirements
>> gathered from this session can be incorporated into this portal to be
>> launched on October 15th.
>>
>> As before, please reply to this email if you are interested (and which
>> session is best for you), and I will send out a Webex invitation to each
>> participant.  Webex is screen-sharing software that supports most browsers &
>> operating systems, including many open-source:
>> http://support.webex.com/support/system-requirements.html .  We will also
>> provide local toll-free voice.conference numbers to most countries for this
>> session, via our ISOC conferencing service.
>>
>> Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you --
