<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Thanks to the people who did the test survey, the feedback has been really useful.<div><br></div><div>A couple of comments to the effect that it might be better to let whole panels "register" rather than individuals, and I think this could actually be a better way of doing it. It would use up less of the 100 votes, and would also allow people to reconstitute new panels. Contact your co-panelists, find out who can come. If the chair cannot attend, appoint a new chair, and they can register as much of the group as can attend. If your group has completely collapsed you can still register as an individual.</div><div><br></div><div>So I'm going to suspend the test shortly to make the changes, I'll try to get it running again in half an hour or so.</div><div><br></div><div>Oliver</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 14 May 2009, at 01:15, Roger Macy wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div bgcolor="#ffffff" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div><font face="Arial">Oliver,</font></div><div><font face="Arial">It requires you to answer yes to Q1, and then to specify your SCMS panel number.
