Profile Rules

What criteria should we use in allowing people to register their profile on the site?

A proposal could be that the person has published a paper in one of our Symposia or Workshops, or can document that they are working with someone who has.  Need to think through the implications for Membership development, though.

IEEE IT members

Posted by Adriaan J. van Wijngaarden at Mar 05, 2009 10:22 PM

I think that IEEE IT members should always be able to register. I am not sure, however, whether there is a
mechanism in place to check whether someone is an IEEE/IT
member. Do we have a contact person within the IEEE? I know
the IEEE Staff in the Publications department (incl. IEEExplore) - I am not sure whether there are any hooks in
their database that we can use.

There should be a way to seed accounts with information from a database of Society members at IEEE. This is something we could put into the software development roadmap going forward. Doing it "right" may be very expensive. Furthermore, I don't think there has ever been a plan to require IEEE or Society membership in order to have an account on the website.

Pareja database

The authors and reviewers in the Pareja database should probably be allowed to register on this site. If we are able to link the Pareja database, we could improve it and try to get rid of duplications in that database as well.

Similarly, a database of authors and reviewers from EDAS or other conference paper submission and review systems could provide some of that information. As with IEEE, the challenge is getting that information out of the database and pushing it into Plone.

Let the BoG decide?

I think we should perhaps let the BoG decide, and give them a set of different criteria:
1. Anyone who has published in an IT Society sponsored venue (broad, but hard to police)
2. All IEEE members.
3. Only IT Society members.
etc, etc.

One issue : which students can submit dissertations? I think they should have to be IT Society members to generate content for the site, perhaps.

Do we have any decision on this? The profiles are piling up and I am not sure about whether to approve them all or only a few.

Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo

Posted by J. Nicholas Laneman at Apr 28, 2009 06:01 PM
These email services are used by a lot of folks, but they make it difficult to verify someone's identity. Should we disallow them?

I think we should ask people to provide their affiliation when they register -- then they can use their gmail account if they like, but at least we'll know they are a professor at XYZ University...

Adding required info for registration

Posted by J. Nicholas Laneman at Jun 22, 2009 01:59 PM
I think we can make this easier on ourselves if we *require* certain pieces of information upon registration, e.g.,:

- email (verified automatically by the system)
- homepage
- portrait
- affiliation and contact information

This way with a glance and a click or two, an Online Editor can have a lot more confidence in either approving or denying a registration.
