Chatting with the Committee
A chat room has been set up as an extension of the Message Board. If you are registered for the Message Board you will also have access to the Chat Room. If you go to the Board Portal after you have logged in you will see the chat link on the right had side under your avatar. There is also a link from the Board Index on the top right hand side. Once you click the link the chat window will open up. You will see a drop down selector at the top left of the page that will take you to the individual rooms that are listed just as the forum topics. I encourage everyone to register or log in if you are already registered and try it out. After looking around and playing for a while you should probably be able to understand how everything works. If not you can email me and I'll try to help.
The Negotiating Committee will be in the chat room on Tuesday March 9th and Thursday March 11th from 7:00pm until whenever. During these sessions the committee will field and answer questions you may have concerning negotiations.
