Ipce’s Internal Matters

Report of the secretary

Since July 2007, I have done a check of Ipce’s membership by twice writing or mailing to all members and asking them to reply if they want to continue their membership and if they would be able and willing to pay the dues.

Here below you see the situation by making this report. “Rea or OK” means that these members have reacted or are well enough known by me. “Not yet” means: members who have not yet reacted. I may suppose that I have more data about the “not yet” group on the coming Ipce Meeting. I will send a third mailing to the “Not yet” group and remove them from the members’ list if they still do not react.

	Paid	Rea or OK	Not yet	Members
IMO	11	22	4	26
Other	5	20	19	39
Total	16	42	23	65

To be complete: some members are not reachable: e-mail returns (4 members now); other members have timely interrupted their membership because of different problems (3 members now). And moreover, we have two people who are not a member but a guest. Our members are living in 20 countries all over the world.

Report of the webmaster

Ipce’s website has six sections now:

Section	Where	Files	MB Room
Ipceweb [*]	Ipce’s domain	435	7.5
Library Two	Ipce’s subdomain	202	10.0
Library 3 [**]	Ipce’s domain	619	32.5
Newsletters	Ipce’s domain	172	12
Host	Ipce’s domain	195	6
Booksreborn	Ipce’s domain	103	67.5
Total		1726	135.5 MB

[*] With Library (1), Statements, Documentation lists, Links and all registers
[**] With “New” and the Ipce Magazine

We also have our internal forum IMO: Ipce meets Online placed by our third provider.

The Ipce Magazine is started in January 2007. This is factually an update of the website, be it concentrated on one theme. The Newsletter is on the website, but is also made in a printable Word version, especially made for and sent by paper post to those who have no connection with the Internet.

I must say that there has been pause in updating the website from February to July 2007, because your webmaster was too busy with making translations from and into several languages, especially for a symposium, a magazine, a foundation and a council, all to manage a dialogue between Muslims and others. Since July, several updates and two Newsletters (this is one of them) have appeared.

Two teams

Ipce has two teams, to be (re)installed by the annual Meeting.

	A Conflict- & Emergency Team (three ‘wise old men’), but there has been no conflict and no emergency since the former report and meeting.
	A Membership Team: four members who invite and accept new members after some kind of acknowledgement by them or by a member from the same country or speaking the same language.
