[governance] Phase 2 of improvements to the IGC Web site

[Charity Gamboa]

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for all your hard work. I managed to login to my account with no
problems.  Just a few questions/concerns and if I missed any discussions on
these concerns, my apologies for that foresight.

[1] Under LDAP Attributes in my account- I would not be able to update any
information on those fields?
[2] I agree with Marilia regarding a calendar, especially for any proposal
deadline that IGC is heading
[3] Can we have an area where upcoming events like ARIN, IGF
meetings/consultations, ICANN events and et al can be viewed on the home
page? Perhaps just some events that CS members can be aware of.
[4] Is there an archive of statements that IGC has submitted for the past
year(s)?

Thanks again.

Regards,
Charity
