of the roughly 600 subscribers to the listserv - about 125 have indicated
they are members by returning e-mail to me. this includes family
members of the listserv subscriber. i know of a number of other aerc
members that are in the riders directory that have not yet responded
so i hope the total number will be higher before i talk to the aerc.
the aerc is putting out a survey with the annual dues renewal in
early november that may contain two questions concerning the services
that the aerc "could" offer if there are enough members using
the internet to make it cost effective. note the "could". there have
to be enough members answering the questions in a positive way
to justify the cost.
the aerc office asked steph and i to submit 2 questions to be
included in the survey. don't know if they will make it there
in the form we submitted them but they are at the end of this note.
if you are interested in getting more internet aerc services -
do answer the paper survey. most of the time - we tend to circular
file things like this. encourage your fellow aerc members
that don't subscribe to the listserv to answer the survey as well
if they expect to get on the internet in the future.
also attend the convention in feb and make your views known.
please do ***NOT*** fill out the questions below and return to me by
e-mail. lets allow the aerc get the info their way first.
i would like to thank everyone for their responses to the statistics
question. it is one way to get the services going earlier.
