[Chapter-delegates] Login instructions and correct link for the new Internet Society AMS chapter portal

[Rudi Vansnick]

Dear Lincoln,

While having a quick view to the new system I've some questions.

I discovered the majority of our members have expiration date in 2011. 
Can you explain why ?

It would be quite easy and very helpful to have the total number of 
members as it was available in the previous membership system, in order 
to quickly see status of membership in the chapter.

It looks not possible to change a business address into a private address.

When clicking on cancel in any of the modules, you get send back to the 
chapter roster. Why ?

This is just a quick view of functionalities, will go through when time 
available.

Best regards,

Rudi Vansnick
