This is very good, but the major problem is connected to "old" ICOM members
who used the old application forms (they constitute a majority) and who are
not informing the ICOM Secretariat about acquiring an e-mail address.

May I come with another practical suggestion? Make one issue of ICOM News
with the theme: Electronic ICOM and let all those that have web-pages
present themselves, not least ICOM itself with the ICOM-List.

AND put on the front page a large, extremely visible appeal to all members
to register their e-mail addresses. The approach may be a bit vulgar, but
probably effective.
