Transfer Chapter

So we have SLCG, SWCG, SiW, GCFCG, Northern Lights & NY/NJ - anyone else open for transfers?

I'd like to include all possibilities in the letter we send out to these members.

 

Online Archives/ICG Galleries Committee update

Thu, 17 Aug 2006

From Bruce Mai

 

The Committee has a small start on the submission process for people to upload their photos to the ICG Photo Galleries (don't know if that's what we'll call 'em, but what the hey?).  Most of the serious work won't get underway until after Worldcon, because a few of the Committee will be attending that event.

 

One of the most basic and obvious recommendations to the BOD right away is that the work in monitoring submissions to the Galleries will be far more work than the Webmaster will be willing or able to handle.  Thus, the Committee recommends that two moderators be appointed by the Board to fill those positions.  They will be in charge of inquiries before uploads, approving content, and answering any other questions that may come up.

 

If anyone has an idea of who might be willing to volunteer their time, please contact me.  Since the candidates will be involved in the design and implementation of the Galleries, we would like them to be part of the Committee as soon as possible.

 

Failing any nominees, we can make an announcement on the D list.

From Nora

 

I'd like to add that these persons will also become part of the "Editorial Board" for the website.

 

At Jeff's request, we will be establishing a committee to oversee the website & online archive activities just as we have a Committee for the newsletter.

 

SO any suggestions regarding that would be welcome also.
