[governance] New dynamic membership list on the Web site

[shaila mistry]

Hi Jeremy

My name is on the second list but reflects that I did not vote in the 2010 
elections. Just as clarification  I am a  long time member since WSIS . May I 
suggest that future ballots include a closing time and date to help those of us 
who are in different time zones and or traveling .
Many thanks for all you have done for us.
Cheers !
Shaila 

The journey begins sooner than you anticipate !

Subject: [governance] New dynamic membership list on the Web site

Before my term as IGC coordinator ends, I intend to finish the improvements to 
the Web site and membership database that I had earlier begun.  These may not be 
much compared to the larger strategic challenges that the IGC faces, but at 
least I have more chance of sorting them out before I leave. :-)

So today I have been working on such improvements, and if you got an email 
message saying that your account on the IGC website had been activated, that is 
why - please ignore it.

The main advance made is that our membership list on the website is now 
automatically generated from the back-end membership database, and it is in two 
parts: those who voted in the last election, and those who did not do so but 
would be eligible to vote in the next one if it were called today. 
 See: http://www.igcaucus.org/list-members.

At the moment one of the shortcomings of these lists is that they contain 
usernames rather than full names, but if you are logged in yourself you can see 
the full name and their other profile details (if provided) by clicking on their 
username.

If you are one of those who has previously complained that you were not listed 
as an IGC member, please make sure that your username is in at least the second 
of the lists on the above page.  If not, let me know and I'll investigate.

Also, note that you won't be in either list if you joined less than two months 
ago.
