Index of Subjects Hi all Last June a discussion thread (IP Merge) was started on the IP site. This was in response to a preceived 'break' in the IP registration process. Registering users is only one side of the issue. Accounts require continuous monitoring. The annual procedure of account renewal for individual accounts provides a mechanism by which each account can revisted. It provides the opportunity for CCN to exchange information with the user. Merging the IP process with the individual account process could provide the same opportunity. At least once a year the responsible CCN IP editor, or some other CCN functionary could review the account, inform the IP (and the IPE's) of changes, new products and services. The IP (and the IPE's) have the opportunity to respond, bring IP account information up-to-date. Such a procedure would centralize and simplify many administrative functions. It would also improve user service, and provide CCN improved account information.
