Specific Needs/Support (non-financial): (For the categories below, please include approximate date service needed)
a. Web Support (help with webpage creation, web form
creation, web database, web database, scripting, etc):
Since our top priority is
setting up our website, we are currently waiting to find out who our Web
Committee liaison is. Once contact has
been made, a number of questions will need to be answered:
Ø
How much web
space are we allowed?
Ø
Is there a
design template we have to follow?
Ø
Can we upload
pages ourselves (via FTP) or does the Web Committee liaison do this for us?
With respect to actual
help required, I anticipate that we will be able to put together the basic
pages ourselves (HTML coding, etc.) and depending on whether or not we have FTP privileges, we
might require assistance in uploading individual pages.
b. On-site conference volunteers: (include estimated numbers needed and brief job description) N/A
c. Publicity planned for the committee (posting to other
discussion lists, official press release for webpage, etc.): As
mentioned previously, once the committee's website has been established, we
intend to publicize it on other discussion lists and with a press release, if
deemed appropriate.
