2 — CAC on-line membership
From: Ingrid Holmberg
The CAC's membership has now gone live on-line, as many of you know. Already, approximately 20% of you have renewed your memberships successfully, so thank you for that. A very small minority of you have experienced a set of problems with the site; I beg your indulgence with this, since any new site will have a few glitches here and there. The issues have been:
1. Your server sends messages that the site is not secure. The site is indeed very secure; the security certificate was renewed last week by FedCan, which hosts our membership site. You have several options. You can ignore and proceed through, if your server will allow. You can enter the URL manually (https://www.fedcan-association.ca/cac-scec). You can try another server; one colleague switched to Explorer and had success. My contact at FedCan is working on this now.
2. After entering your information, you cannot proceed to the "pay" page. FedCan is also working on this. My only suggestion for this would be to try to enter the site again after logging out completely, and to proceed from the "welcome" page through the dues categories. For those of you experiencing this issue, I would ask that instead of giving up and sending me a cheque, that you wait until FedCan has solved this issue. This way we can get as many individuals using the site successfully as possible (and also releasing your Treasurer from the manual labour that has been involved until now).
3. Your e-mail service sends the renewal to "junk" as SPAM. If you have not received a renewal or sign-up notice, you should probably check your "junk" folder. And if the mail has gone to junk, you may want to consider adjusting this in your mail program.
I will be away from my desk until Feb. 1. Please feel free to e-mail in the interim with your problems or concerns, and I will address them when I return.

Treasurer, CAC
