>
> The “alpha version” of the new ISOC Chapter portal was demonstrated July
> 21st to members of the Chapter Steering Committee (CSC ), and all those
> who had previously indicated an interest in the portal.  Thanks once
> again to everyone who provided feedback during and after that session.
>
>  We have now incorporated many changes suggested, and would like to
> extend an invitation to the CSC, the AMS Point of Contacts, and to
> members of the Chapter delegates mailing list to review the Beta version
> of the portal.
>
> This Beta version of the portal will have many enhancements, several
> driven directly by the feedback from the last session, including:
>
>  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 time around we will be hosting two separate sessions:
>
> *^*September 9th:  UTC 11:30 *and the second at UTC 20:00    *
>
> *With these two scheduled demos we are hoping that everyone will have
> the opportunity to choose a suitable time.*

> *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 --
