I wish all VICS members a very successful AGM.
Unfortunately, I cannot attend as I am attending the Annual General Assembly
of the European Disability forum in Slovenia this weekend. This also means
that I cannot avail of the Skype link. Will the event be recorded?
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi all,
As you will be aware, this years VICS AGM takes place this coming Saturday
May 24th at 2:00pm in the NCBI Training Centre, Whitworth Road, Dublin 9.
You will shortly receive an email with details of the agenda.
In an exciting development for the society, we are proud to announce that
this years meeting will be available online, allowing you to participate
from the comfort of your armchair.
The event will be broadcast as a conference call through Skype, a free
telephony application available at <http://www.skype.com>
http://www.skype.com. You will be able to listen to the event in realtime,
and interact with those present in the venue, providing of course you have
the necessary equipment. For more please check out Brian Daltons excellent
piece on the software in the latest edition of Info VICS.
In short, what you will need is:
1) A pc connected to the Internet (dial-up may work, however we would
strongly recommend broadband)
2) The latest version of the Skype software installed (version 3.8)
3) A skype username
4) A set of speakers
5) A microphone
(please note a mic / headset combo will also suffice for 4 and 5 above).
Due to technical limitations, a maximum of 12 people will be able to
participate online, and it has been decided to broadcast audio only.
So, if you would like to join us, please send your name, email address, and
your Skype username to accounts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as soon as possible. Once
all 12 places have been filled, I'll send a mail to this list to inform you
all that no further requests for participation will be accepted. In the
event of us not reaching the 12, the deadline is 1:00pm on Friday.
A set of instructions will be sent to the lucky 12 detailing the steps
necessary to get involved on the day.
As you can appreciate, the committee are quite busy at this time of year
making sure everything is in place for the AGM, and therefore will
regrettably be unable to guarantee technical support. If you are new to
Skype, and require assistance, we would strongly encourage you to make use
of this list. It is a great resource, and I'm sure your fellow listees would
be only too happy to help. Naturally the committee will endeavour to provide
assistance wherever possible.
If you have any questions / queries, please feel free to get in touch.
The committee looks forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Ciaran
