CITEL Electronic Forum offers typical BBS features including automatic e-mails to everyone in the group when a new item is posted, file searching, file uploading and downloading, news and bulletin announcements. The main objectives of this service are:
As is established in each case by the CITEL Regulations and the Working Group, in the CITEL Electronic Forum may participate:
You will have to complete the form on line. It will be submitted to the coordinator who verifies your right as a CITEL member to participate. You should fill as an administration or associate member but not both. The fields with a * (asterisk) must be filled. When this registration is authorized, an automatic e-mail will be sent to the person giving the username and password. The user name will in general be <First_Name Last_Name>. In case this user name has already been used you will be assked by e-mail to register again by adding or modifying this information.
Please write down your password. If you forget it, you should get in touch with CITEL to update it.
It's important to familiarize yourself with the options. The following highlights the more important.
Submission of documents
You have to choose the issue under which your document best fits. The main issues have been selected by the group, taking into account the subjects under study. In case you want to propose another issue please put it under "Other", the group will decide if it is necessary to open another issue. Afterwards, simply attach the document and if you want a brief comment. Be as brief but informative.
We ask you that you check files for computer viruses before uploading them.
The document will be assigned a number automatically. You will not see the document posted on the main page until the coordinator has approved it.
Each group will have to designate a coordinator. The coordinator will approve registrations and check the document. Once approved, documents will be immediately available for group participants to see and there will be an automatic e-mail sent out to notify about the new information available.
Please be advised that you can submit comments for the existing documents and revise documents. You have to just click on the document, for example 100, and afterwards click on the "comment" button. In the current prototype a comment number ends with a suffix "C". At the present time the comments are not sequentially numbered like C1, C2, etc., this will be solved in the future.
Deletion of Submissions
The Coordinator can delete a submission, in that case the numbering will not be sequential.
Modification of Submissions
If a user sent a document by mistake he has two options:
Use of CITEL Template
The CITEL Template is designed to be consistent with the CITEL documents and is extremely simple to use. You can find an up-to-date version on the web portal of the permanent consultative committee to which you belong. Listed below are steps to begin using the CITEL Template:
Numbering
The numbering of documents is done automatically. A user may present new documents, revise his/her own documents or compose comments to documents already presented. The Coordinator can also prepare revisions in case they are needed.
Documents will be in plain text or MS Word. In case you do not have Word you might download a free MS Word viewer. It is a 3.8 Mb file and could take up to 30 minutes to download on a slow connection.
With the Word viewer or application installed on your computer, you can view documents. Your browser will prompt you for this when you click in click or in the document.
There is a search capability that allows to search taking into account any of the following criteria: issue, country or any word. You can use boolean text searches (i.e. telecommunications AND applications)
The Coordinator will approve registration after consulting with the national representative. The Coordinator will also introduce new issues and clean old or already approved issues.
If you experience any problems with the system, please contact CITEL Helpdesk.
Submission of a wrong document
If a user has submitted an incorrect document, the user cannot delete it. One has to request the coordinator or he can include the new document by submitting a comment document in the Electronic Forum.
Cannot upload a document
You just have to browse for a document in your local system and click on the document. If you experience any problems with the system, please contact CITEL Helpdesk, explaining the procedure you use.
