IPM ACCESS Forum
-----------------------------------------------------

A
ny pertinent IPM-related topics may be discussed in the Open Forum.

Unlike Internet newsgroups and mailing lists, the conferencing system allows for "threading" by subject, which means an initial posting and all its responses are organized together in chronological order. Before starting a new topic, look through the existing items to see if your topic already exists. If your topic is already being discussed, please post your question or comment as a reply unless you wish to take it in a different direction. This will make the forum's organization more navigable and understandable.

If already registered, you may go directly to the Open Forum.

If not registered, you must complete a very simple and quick four step process when logging on for the first time to register as a user and join the conference:

  1. Register yourself as a user by choosing a User ID and Password.

  2. The register link takes you to the User ID Registration Page where you choose a user name and password.
  3. Fill in the Personal Information Page presented after registering (only your name is required but other brief information about yourself may also be included, and is encouraged).
  4. At the bottom of the Personal Information Page, you have the option to take a brief tutorial or go directly to the Caucus Center. We highly recommend you take the tutorial.
  5. In the Caucus Center, either choose "A list of all conferences" and then "I P M Open Forum" OR type "I P M Open Forum" in the fill-in box (note the spaces between I P M), and then select "Join".

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with Caucus, the conferencing software, in order to use the system most effectively and fully. At the top and bottom of every screen is the Caucus Tool Bar — the Caucus logo followed by a set of buttons which perform commonly used functions, including online help, a notebook, a search tool, etc. The purpose of the toolbar is to put these features on every page, so that you can use them any time you want. The system is very user-friendly and configurable.

Below is a list of forum topics we have in mind that may develop into separate Forums if  use and interest warrants:
