Dear All,
I always said that IATA site is a major task. IATA itself is a huge task. We are always been reminded by Amer that we are making history. In fact we are!
But since we all are volunteers and that we do other things along with IATA, there is limited time that we may contribute. So far I only received few responses with regards support to IATA website. In fact I got a better than that! A dedicated webmaster who is willing to do the job for us. I
appreciate her enthusiasm and I am indeed waiting for her response.
The English Proverb says: "If you fail to plan, You plan to fail". We need to have a plan, a strategic one. We don't want to be failures and we are eager to succeed. But to succeed we need to have time and effort. Why
sould we hurry to produce an imperfect site or work in general? Why the rush?
We are capable to produce it as volunteers, and being a volunteer myself, I assign sometime for the project. If anyone is capable of helping us, he/she is always welcome.
At this point I am waiting for the first site outcome. As soon as i have looked at and passed unto members we will embark upon proceeding. We don't want the project to be a one-off and therefore a failure! we want it to continue and develop.
I ask apology for not being around as i was involved on an academic conference, and again left my messenger on.
All the best and I look forward to a fruitful cooperation.
