Some remarks:
- the system as a whole is too slow.
- when I go to "review applicants", and select one, approve him/her,
then the page, instead of going back to the others, goes to the "member
roaster", which means I have to go back to "chapter membership
approval", and do it again.
- There was a member with email iamsuceed at yahoo.com which is clearly
spam; isn't there a way to check for legitimate users, before they are
having their data in the database, in other words, when someone applies
to join a chapter, can he/she get a confirmation email first?
- I see people in the "aptify e-Business" , like Miguel Azevedo who is
clearly not a Bulgarian, lives in the UK, but is listed as a member?
- There are people in the database, who I have deleted myself long time
ago, e.g. ID 975, who died four years ago.
- In the last five minutes, while writing this, I have been waitin for
the "chapter membership approval" to deny two fake members
(test at test.org, and joshua ajao), but this has not happened yet.
- in the member address page, members are listed alphabetically under
first name; in the member roster, though, they are listed alphabetically
by last name. Not very useful. Better be consistent.
- there are many members who have "expired" more than 60 days ago. I
can't go and select them all - there's no such field. I have to go and
select them one by one. Not very convenient. Plus, I don't know why they
would be expired, if they are all free members. Plus there's no value
for their membership fee (shoud be 0)
- others... to be continued at some point.

>> Thank you for your continued interest in the Internet Society as a

>> The former Internet Society portal (called Q) has now been taken
>> offline, and is no longer accessible. It has been replaced by ISOC's
>> new Association Management System, or AMS.
>> As discussed for some time with our member community, this new portal
>> is multi-lingual and multi-national. It is localised into English,
>> French, German, and Spanish, and supports many other languages and
>> alphabets within its UI. In addition, you can select US or
>> International date formats for display of information. You can also
>> request to join your local chapter(s) via this portal, something we
>> strongly encourage!
>>
>> Since you were a user of the former system, your record exists in the
>> new one but first you must choose a new password. Please follow the
>> instructions below for this:
>>
>> 1) To access the portal, click the following URL:
>> https://portal.isoc.org/EBusiness/ForgotUID.aspx . You should see a
>> page display called Reset Password.
>> *NOTE: * If concerned about the security of the above URL, you can
>> also access the same password-reset page from the main www.isoc.org
>> <http://www.isoc.org/> website. You can access it by clicking the
>> Login for existing Members link on the home page, and then clicking
>> *Forgot Your User ID or Password?* link on the portal home page.
>>
>> 2) Begin the password-reset process by entering your username, which
>> is the email address at which you received this email. This will
>> dispatch another email to your address, containing an encrypted link
>> to the page where you can actually reset your password.
>> 3) When the email from the portal arrives, click that link and
>> choose another password on the screen displayed. * NOTE: *For
>> security reasons, the URL is time-sensitive and will expire after 30
>> minutes.
>> 4) Once that is complete, you should now be logged in and be able to
>> work in the portal.
>>
>>
>>
>> 5) You can now review your personal data, change language and/or
>> date-format preferences, or add other details by clicking on "My
>> Account" and "View/Edit Profile. The information you find in your
>> profile may be out of date, so please change it to reflect current
>> info.
>> 6) As indicated above, the new portal is localised into English,
>> French, German, and Spanish. Your *Preferred Language* can be
>> changed at any time, and will persist once saved for all future
>> logins. However, during a session you can also switch languages by
>> clicking the flag icons in the upper right of the portal.
>>
>> 7) The new portal can also handle both International date formats
>> (DD/MM/YYY) and US date formats (MM/DD/YYYY). Your initial format
>> will be set by your Country value, but you can also change it
>> manually at any time using the Preferred Data Format field.
>>
>> If you encounter any difficulties logging in, or have any feedback
>> (positive or negative) about the new portal, please send it to
>> ams-project at isoc.org <mailto:ams-project at isoc.org>. We look forward
>> to hearing from you.
>> Finally, if you wish to *unsubscribe,* send an email to
>> ams-project at isoc.org <mailto:ams-project at isoc.org>. If you have
>> already requested to unsubscribe, please be patient while we handle
>> that request. We are aware much of the data from the old system was
>> out of date, and it will take a few days to update all records.
>>
>> Thank you once again for your membership in the Internet Society.
