Many of us, who are long time coordinators, do indeed have networking background professionally as well as database, server, website admins. True, this is not a paying job for us, but it is interfering in any planned projects, getting new people up to speed and generally still taking up time. I have other things that I put my time into (see sig line), but we feel that this portal situation is important to get right, be done in a timely fashion and not instill as sense of no confidence on behalf of the end users. The question keeps coming up the more there are delays and non-answers to emails, "is ARDC more about the millions in grant money or is it about the hams getting things done in the technical side of the hobby". It becomes increasingly difficult to answer questions like that with solid information or with a straight face. Maybe you should have remained on the technical committee seeing how you would have approached this cut-over differently.

One thing that I know is that when I was in the TAC, I am not anymore and let me tell you I would not like to be in right now, it was planned to have the local coordinators in the loop. In fact it was primordial to have the help from the coordinator and I am sure it is still important.
