There are no new IPs. Talk to you committee > chair. > Hi I've been following the thread on the IP process and some points are clarification are required. 1) The issue brought forth last year was that the IP process was too complicated for prospective Information Providers. The process appeared to be a barrier to the success of an IP signing up with CCN. 2) It was suggested that prospective IP's couldn't determine what their cost (membership, services) would be. 3) It was suggested that many IP's only required an FTP function to update their sites. Thus extensive training was unnecessary. Note: The emphasis was on the difficulties experienced by the INFORMATION PROVIDER. In September an Information Provider Membership and Services fee schedule was adopted. In the fall (or there abouts) a FTP process was put in place so that those with relatively simple requirements could maintain their sites. The current 'IP Process' is an initiative of CCN Administration. In brief, a new membership and services fee schedule were recently presented to the board. What was agreed to, at the board level, was that membership fees and process be separated from the user account process, that CCN membership be consulted on this change. User account services and fees, as presented, were approved on an interim basis, until further consultation with the various CCN committees could be pursued. I wish to emphasis, that the IP Chair (or the IP Committee) has not mandated or approved a change in the IP Process that would impact updates to the various databases, forms to be processed, account setup procedures or other IP processes.
