Dear Horst,

 

Thanks for the mail. I find it hard to believe that you have never visited the new IOBB website(http://www.iobborg.net) which was set up after IOBB2008. At least the new website has the following:

 

(a) List of Executive Members

(b) List of NRs

(c) History of IOBB

(d) Report on IOBB2008

(e) Pictures from IOBB2008

(d) Provisition for News/Events etc.

(e) Vision

(f) Mission

(f) Objectives and IOBB Governance in General

 

When you have visited the IOBB website, you will be in better position to offer further suggestions for improvement and indeed your suggestions are most welcome. I would also like to point out that the costs for the website were met by the IOBB Uganda Chapter($ 400.00). The only major items we agreed upon at the meeting in Perth which have not showed much progress are (i) IOBB2010-India (ii) Registration of IOBB in Australia. As for membership fees, I think this was even a big problem in your time and that of Jacky Foo, as far as I know.

I will appreciate your feedback after visiting the IOBB website((http://www.iobborg.net). I am however aware that this is work in progress and new ideas and suggestions are welcome.

 

Charles

Subject: IOBB activities

Dear Charles,Jaya and every IOBB member,

 

A number of decisions were made at our last conference in Perth. What happened ?

a)    I tried a Google search for "IOBB" - Result:  Not known. WHY ??

b)    Where can anybody find anything about IOBB on the internet ?

c)    Where is the list of members ?

d)    How can anybody find anything about IOBB ??

 

I am writing to you in a way, a newcomer would like to find our group.

During my time as Chairman we had a website open to anybody. It contained

a)    newsletters

b)    membership list

c)    activities

d)    reports from members of the organisation.

e)    financial situation as to how paid and who did not.

 

If we do not find anyone who can be very active on this part of IOBB activities, IOBB will never advance. For example, where can one find the National Representative ? How many members do we have ? Who are the members of the Executive ?

As a newcomer, there is absolutely NO answer. How can we go forward without it. I know it is a lot of work and I remember that I was sitting a lot on my computer to keep it all up and I am sure Jacky Foo continued similarly.

You have to register the webpage in a way, anybody can find it on Google Search.

Just think about it , please. Without a worldwide publicity, nothing can be done .

 

I apologise for my complaints, but I hate to see IOBB disappearing from the worldscene after what has been done in the past.

With kindest regards and best wishes

Horst
