3. Enquiries
Responded to following enquiries:
Re job ads
- 31/1 Veronique Tovee - Imnet International
Re conference flyers
- 31/1 Amanda Sangster - HSA Events (same place as Kate Mars who had
contacted Karen re the Critical Infrastructure conf)., Amanda's is a
Investigating Crime and Computer Fraud Conf - I have asked her to
contact Nancy re mailshots flyers (they will give the normal 10
discount to ISACA members).
On the issue of advertising conference details, I know Archie
expressed a concern at the away day that putting conf details on the
website may take revenue away from our normal flyer type income.
What about working on the basis that we'll only put up conf details
(except for ISACA and those where we have reciprocal arrangements such
as BCS, ICAE&W & IIA?) if these organisations use (and pay
for) our flyer/inserts service as well. We can even temp them by
giving them their own dedicated page, for example if HSA use the
flyer/insert service regularly, we can give them a page linked from
the conference page, with their logo and schedule of events.
There may be other event organisers out there that may be interested.
Does anyone have any problem with this in principle? Perhaps details
can be worked out by Publications/Advertising sub committee.
4. Events
Still awaiting slides from Angus Wright's presentation on 24 Jan.
Some mails I sent Nancy earlier this month bounced. I checked
with Verio (ours and Northern/Central chapter web host) and they
thought there had been some problems between themselves and AOL ( nancy@isaca.org
is set up to forward to nancy@isaca.org.uk
< nancy@isaca.org.uk -
and I have checked the isaca.org.uk site to ensure the setting is
still the same). I know Kamal had similar problems and John has
just this evening alerted me to the fact that it has not gone away.
So will check again with Verio in the morning.
6. Web hosting service @ Verio comes up for renewal 23 Feb.
I have been investigating switching to Supanames http://www.supanames.co.uk which
has superb facilities and hosting control panel, ie makes my job
easier. Also their prices are very reasonable, £48.75 (incl VAT
for .org name and unlimited space) - we pay £232 at Verio. I
have been using Supanames for about 18 months now for some other
sites and never had any reliability or service issues.
Only issue is they don't currently allow discussion boards (other than
their own which is very basic) - but they are changing this mid Feb.
So I'll be seeking approval from the Board to switch from Verio to
Supanames, provided we can sort out the discussion board issue (altho
given its use - it may not be a show stopper and perhaps an
opportunity to re evaluate)
