Yes. Better not.

I'm a bit skeptical of its value; you may have noticed
there's very little on the old member pages.
NCUC simply isn't big enough to form a social network
site by itself.
But some kind of member pages could be useful.

They would be especially useful if they could be synchronized
with the member database, i.e., every member would automatically
have a page with their basic info which they could update
as needed and add things like photos or comments &c.
No way that'll happen in time for Durban, though.

What comes to transferring old member pages, well, since
we haven't yet even decided what plugin or whatever we'd
use for such, it's a bit hard to predict timeframe either.
But I'll wait to see what Brenden had in mind for the
purpose, the migration may turn out not be hard at all.

Looks good to me. Now that I'm at a real keyboard again
rather than trying to type on a phone, I'll try to do
something about that.

But I really do think we should have a) the event titles with date & place, and separate links to b) the programs with speaker lists (e.g. the Amiando links I sent), c) videos, and d) for stuff done within formal ICANN programs, the transcripts.  Re: videos, there are multiple and varying per event sources available.  I believe the YouTube stuff you linked was shot and posted by Glen McKnight, who I understand may also be shooting our African School workshop in Durban.   Joly has stuff on the ISOC NYC site.  The Amiando sites seem to have selective links to some panels.

Joly, all I can find on your site is http://isoc-ny.org/p2/1841 which links to the Amiando, which has no video; do you happen to have those somewhere?  Or Robin do you know if the vids are somewhere Google's not find for me?]
