Hey People

 I'm disappointed!!! So far we have ideas like

1) global email redirector (mikemac@cips.ca-> mikemac@unb.ca)
2) Killing the paper stuff (OK REDUCING the paper) with electronic
services
3) Partnerships with Online training
4) web pages for members

All the stuff we thought of before asking (nice to see that we are
not far from the path) but.

Remembering the guidelines of:

Looking ahead a couple of years given:
- an 80%+ connected membership
- Commercial things actually are safely possible via the Internet - An
organization with some very capable staff, and volunteers.

I was expecting things like  issuing every cips member with a secure
pin and using HTTPS to do things like

-Online renewal of CIPS membership(Pay fees online)
-ISP recertification forms via the net (hey what about a www based
system for helping me track my ISP numbers.)
-Interfaces to book publishers so that I could order computer related
books via our web site
-Online guidelines for computer security and privacy issues
-Online guides to government specs and CSA re ISO 9000 stuff
-One stop web site for the computer professional in canada.
(what would/should be in that)

Come on people I want RADICAL IDEAS

Mike
