Nobody (that I noticed) was complaining >about the time it takes for the ICCA to reply to a post here. The >complaint is that the ICCA does not have a "presence" here. Yes, it is reasonable to ask for more ICCA "presence" here. I think it would be helpful to distinguish between the ICCA board and the ICCA. The ICCA is _all_ its members as well as the board members. I'd like to encourage ICCA members to discuss ICCA matters here. It doesn't have to be board members doing all the posting. ICCA members could use this forum to discuss how to enhance the ICCA. (BUT - please don't post "wish lists" that "someone else" "could do". Much more welcome would be ideas combined with an offer that the poster would do them!!) >I don't recall ever seeing any CCC posts made by Levy, Newborn, or vd Herik. They don't subscribe to this forum. That's their choice. Yes, contributions here from them would be beneficial, but they do other things of benefit to the CC community with their time. >To reiterate Bruce's point, the bare minimum of activity would be to announce >ICCA events here. Every time an event nears, there is a huge mass of confusion >about the event on CCC. This is unnecessary confusion if the ICCA is here (as >you claim). Unfortunately that often reflects lack of positive information to post. For example I'm still waiting to hear if we've got the sponsorship for the WMCCC planned for August 2000 at the planned Computer Olympiad. Sometimes we don't hear until the last minute. The sponsorship for the WCCC last year was still being negotiated months after the "deadline" we had initially set, and after the date we should have been notifying participants about the arrangements.
