A new discussion board has recently been created for use by members interested in exchanging views and ideas about CECo-related issues.

The board requires you to register with a username and password and checks your validity by sending you a link in an email, where a response is required from you before your account is activated.

Once your account has been activated, you will have access to several "Forum Categories", (Research Partners, for example). Within each category will exist conversation “Boards”, (e.g. 'Meetings' - holding discussions concerning meetings within each category). Each "Board" will hold a multitude of discussion “Topics”. These, in turn, can have an unlimited number of “Threads”, or conversations, which are essentially replies to the original, posted topic.

Here's a graphical example:

Other benefits include instant messaging, an integrated calendar and a voting poll. These will be utilised over the coming months in the hope that you will find them helpful.
