Subj: Launch of the ICOM-CC forum site WG-interactions

Dear members of ICOM-CC,

WG-interactions,
the official  forum site of ICOM-CC is now ready to be explored and used. 
By inviting  you to participate in this forum, ICOM-CC aims to stimulate more 
interactions  between our multidisciplinary membership. You can raise 
topics/join  discussions, private or with as much of your colleague-members or 
Working  Groups involved, live, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, from every part of 
the  world. 

Please read the following info very carefully. As  administrator of the site, 
I need your support to turn this forum site into a  success. 
Most of the info can also be found  on the forum site and should be seen as a 
comprehensive manual to get started  and acquainted with the site.

Introduction
WG-interactions is a forum  site that gives ICOM-CC members the unique 
opportunity to start discussions in  their own Working Group or with members of 
other Working Groups on subjects  that benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. 
Just post a topic to the  listed Working Groups that you want to be involved. 
Members of those WG's can  react and give their own opinion about the matter 
or provide you with their  professional advise.

Important! Before you  register, read this:
Your registration will only be valid when  following criteria are met: --1-- 
You have to register with your last name  as your username (in case of 
identical usernames followed by a digit).  Example: The username of John Smith will 
be entered as "smith" and that of  Will Smith as "smith1". --2-- Once you have 
registered and logged in, you  have to click the "Profile" button in the top 
menu bar, enter your ICOM-number  in the "Location" field, and finish by 
clicking the “Submit” button at the end  of the form. Important: When one or both 
criteria are not met, the  administrator will regard you as a non-member and 
remove you from the  site.

What are  moderators?
Moderators are individuals (in this case the  WG-coordinators) whose job it 
is to look after the running of their  (WG-)forums from day to day. They have 
the power to edit or delete posts and  lock, unlock, move, delete and split 
topics in the forum they moderate.  Generally moderators are there to prevent 
people going off-topic or  posting abusive or offensive material. 

What can  you expect from me, the administrator?
The administrator is  assigned the highest level of control over the entire 
board. He can control  all facets of board operation, which include setting 
permissions, banning  users, creating user groups or moderators, etc. He also has 
full moderator  capabilities in all the forums. I am also there to assist you 
when you need  help.

Help, is there a user's  manual?
If you are afraid to push buttons without knowing what  next will happen or 
feel uncomfortable without a manual explaining how to use  the forum, please go 
to the "FAQ" button in the top menu bar of the forum  site. It deals with all 
user's issues in a well-structured and explanatory  way. For step-by-step 
help, a support site with very useful flash tutorials is  available: 
_http://www.phpbb.com/support/tutorials/2.0/_ 
(http://www.phpbb.com/support/tutorials/2.0/) 

START  NOW!
Please register now and go to the forum site WG-interactions:

Let’s  get interactive!

Best regards,

Dries van Dam (registered on the  forum site with the username “vandam”)
