Hi CIPS-L, Bill and Emmett especially -

Please be assured that, indeed, the CIPS National Office is receiving,
monitoring and sending email! I am the person behind info@cips.ca and I
may also be reached at michele@cips.ca.

If a message arrives in the info box which is best answered by another
staff member then I forward it along to them (i.e. membership queries
go to Dawn, Certification issues go to Gina)

I will address all of your questions and perhaps the answers will be of
interest to the rest of CIPS-L:

1. Yes, Emmett, you emailed us on Feb.2 requesting information about
Rider Travel. Alex St. Croix has recently responded to you via email. I do
realize that at this time our National website contains only general
information about Rider Travel - I am working to update this.

2. We have been planning for an online version of the Membership Directory -
as Steve Gallinger wrote in his CIPSNet article in the Feb.1 edition of News
From National, work is progressing towards putting a version of the Directory
on the Web. We will be announcing further details by the end of this month.
And yes security is definitely uppermost in our minds.

3. The 1995-96 CIPS National Membership Directory has gone to print this
week and it will be going out in the national mailing next week.

Despite our previous Internet access provider problems, I do believe
that the CIPS National Office now has a more dependable connection to the
Internet and that the rest of the Internet also has a more dependable
connection to us.

I do appreciate both of your frustrations at not hearing back from us in a
more timely manner - please accept our apologies.

Michele Sura
Coordinator, Internet Services
CIPS National Office
