Dear Coordinators, We had a request to post the members of the ISEP IT Focus Group so that all of you could see the range of institutions we have included. The goal is to get feedback on information technology issues from a variety of viewpoints and levels of technical expertise. We very much appreciate your comments, which will help us move forward in the way that works best for our varied membership. I'll take this opportunity to repeat that I was very disappointed that we could not make the WebIS launch date as planned, principally because the developer could not make the changes we needed in time. Now that the fall placement season is so near we will have to look for a new date in the future, but hopefully not too far in the future, when we could reasonably put this new technology into action. Meantime, if any of you have comments, suggestions, questions etc. about the coordinator portal of the database, we would be interested to hear them. You can e-mail me directly at LJewell@isep.org<mailto:LJewell@isep.org> or webis@isep.org<mailto:webis@isep.org> or you can post a comment to the listserv if you think it is an issue of broader interest or concern. As always, thanks so much for your support.
