> At this time, Mike raised the possibility of using the banner from

> At this point, Mike informed the committee that the price quoted by

>
> Later Jennifer talked about the division's award ceremony. She

> Later Judy informed Jennifer that Keith Pizzoli- a 3rd award recipient

>
> Then Harsh raised the topic of division's name change. Ken informed

> He started the discussion on potentially hosting the division's
> website with an outside host. Harsh informed that although the
> division had web pages on http://www.planning.org/ , the workflow of
> updating those webpages was reminiscent of the pre-internet era in
> that it took a minimum of 2-3 days with 2-3 routings before any 'fresh
> content' found its way to the website. Ken mentioned the delay
> following his newsletter article when he had encountered a similar
> problem with no one to hold accountable. Mike shared his similar but
> unsuccessful attempt as Chair to move the division website away from
> the folds of http://www.planning.org/ . Rob shared his ongoing search
> for a better website host for PCIA, the wireless infrastructure
> association.
>
> Milton recounted his experiences with other groups where membership
> communication was done using non-internet based tools and suggested a
> similar approach through Phone Banks. Ken responded by saying that the
> Information Technology Division ought to have certain tools and tool
> types given its intrinsic technology focus. Mike mentioned his work
> with the Global Planning Educators Interest Group (GPEIG), an interest
> group within the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP),
> and how GPEIG used tools to communicate with its membership.
>
> Milton cautioned the attendees of the earlier resistance from APA
> National. Harsh also cautioned against 'biting more than what can be
> chewed '.
>
> Eventually, Mike offered to coordinate with Ken and Harsh on possible
> options towards a more responsive website. He agreed to email his
> suggestions as a first step. Ken decided on taking the lead on that
> coordination. Rob suggested studying how state chapters operated their
> websites within the folds of APA National. Ken and Harsh agreed on a
> 'trust us before we break it' workflow mantra. Milton commented that
> that would be difficult to follow and advised the committee on
> ensuring that its actions do not lead it 'back at the same junction'.
> The attendees also floated the idea of a Content Coordinator to
> address some of their website concerns. Rob offered his full support
> to any action that the division undertakes. In essence, the committee
> agreed to reassess its status-quo, and talk with other divisions like
> the Federal Planning Division and state chapters, before marching ahead.
>
> At the end, Harsh shared his vision for the website wherein it becomes
> an integral part of 'things that members check on coming to work'. He
> shared his idea of having a group blog since he felt that a lot of
> members would be interested in reading about the planning work of Ken,
> Jennifer, Mike etc. Ken responded that he is currently busy blogging
> for Planetizen. Mike offered his compliments to the good work done by
> Planetizen, and suggested possible website coordination with Planetizen.
>
> Ken ended the discussion by reminding the attendees of their
> e-newsletter at http://www.itinfotext.org/ and his pleasant
> experiences working with Joomla Content Management System [CMS]. All
> of the attendees complimented the new look.
>
> In other matters, Ken briefed the committee of the upcoming retirement
> of Ric Stephens from its editorship. Milton shared his impressions of
> the many years of excellent service performed by Ric. Harsh offered to
> write a profile of Ric for their next newsletter.
>
> Ken also brought up the topic of 'division name change' and the urgent
> need to have an agreement on it. All attendees agreed to have the
> division's name changed from 'Information Technology' to 'Technology'.
>
> Milton ended with the topic of the two by-rights sessions at the next
> APA National Conference in Philadelphia. Rob talked about his panel on
> 'Wireless Communications'.
>
>
> Finally, Ken talked about taking up the topic of 'Membership Outreach'
