Membership is not limited to technical staff, reflecting the business scope of the Y2K project. It is envisaged that members will be attracted from agency business areas where there is the potential for Y2K impact. Private sector representatives may be invited to attend meetings as a guest speaker where there is sufficient interest and relevance to the group's membership. The meeting place is at Times Square, 16-18 Mort Street Civic. The group meets once a month, on the second Monday of the month.
Typical meetings consist of round table discussions on conversion topics lead by a featured speaker.
All participants are encouraged to contribute to the discussion. The success of the group is dependent on members being willing to contribute and share information. We are running it on a user group basis and hold regular seminars and information sessions around South africa to encourage organisations to take note of the date change and if not already doing something to start now. It is an independent forum not allied to any companies. I'd be interested in joining one.
