1. Introduction

Standards Council of Canada is pleased to offer its Forum facilities for the conduct of the electronic continuation editing meeting for FCD 11179-3.

The workspace used for the editing meeting has been organized around the subject matter. We hope that you will find it easy to use and user friendly. Feedback, both positive and negative, is requested to help us improve the experience, if not this time, then for next time. Enjoy!

2. Site Location

You can access the site at: http://www.scc.ca/forum98/int/dispatch.cgi/tw.isoiecjtc1/workspace

3. Registration

You will be presented with a Welcome Page asking you to log in. Before you can do so, you must register with the site by clicking the "Register" button on the dialog box.

Complete the registration page, shown below. You must complete the fields with the red asterisks. We ask that you also complete the email and phone fields, in case we need to contact you.

You can select your own userid and password, subject to availability, and limitations on allowed characters. There is a facility to modify your profile again later, if you need to. Only you can modify your profile, though an Administrator could delete it.

4. Access Levels and Security

Note that the registration process provides user identification, not security. Registering will give you read-only access to the site. Anyone can register and gain read access. [Note: This could be changed if concern are raised privacy, but this has not been an issue in the past.] Also, we have not encrypted network traffic.

Once you have registered, if you want to be able to participate in the discussions and post comments and/or documents, please send an email to ray.gates@manulife.com asking for write access. This access can be granted only after you have registered. Those who register and request write access before the meeting will receive access by the time the meeting starts. For late-comers, expect turnaround within twelve hours.

When you post entries to the forum, your Full Name as entered above will be shown alongside the entry, so people can see who has posted what.

5. Logging on

Use the login id and password selected as part of the registration process. Note that the Forum is case sensitive.

6. Logging Off

There is a "logout" command near the top right of the screen, or you can simply close your browser. Your entries are going to be safe either way.

7. Getting help

Help is available online via the Forum Help documentation accessible from the menu at the top of each page. If you cannot find what you need there, for technical problems send an email to helpdesk@scc.ca (open 9:00 –17:00 EST). For questions relating to the use of the workspace for the meeting, post your question in the Help Desk discussion forum, or email Ray Gates at ray.gates@manulife.com.
