>>It looks like it is high time  that we organize an intensive workshop to
>>educate the wisdom-full,  elderly theosophical leaders about Internet 
tools
>>and their  potential to help TS and theosophy. While everyone has used  
>email
>>at one time or other, still it appears they are  behind the curve and thus
>>losing precious opportunity and time to  rejuvenate our efforts to spread
>>theosophy and better engage in  multi-mode with membership. While we all 
>know
>>that email  was extensively used by many of the leaders in the  nomination
>>planning behind the scenes and execution and subsequent  electioneering,
>>still there is a very wide gap in communication  between the leaders and 
>the
>>ordinary members. Leaders are  absent from cyberspace.
>>.
>>About a decade ago, I saw in  the USA, first hand, the reluctance and
>>resistance to use fast  inexpensive electronic mode of communication and
>>still stuck to  pencil and paper technology. This can be attributed only 
to
>>the  aged leaders who still could not understand modern technology and 
how  
>it
>>can contribute to cost savings and  efficiency.
>>.
>>A funny recent comment on theos-talk  mentioned about how, last year, the
>>email in-boxes of the  International Secretary and International Treasurer
>>getting filled  up. At international level, what else do you expect. You  
>will
>>get numerous email because it is cheap, quick and  efficient. And members
>>will use it to contact these officers and  send information and
>>correspondence. There are ways to deal with  large volumes of email and 
all
>>you need to do is to talk to someone  who knows how. Or just post a 
message
>>on theos-talk (which is  free!) and you will be inundated with help from
>>members from around  the world. I suspect when this comment was made, both
>>the offices  were filled with very old people who have not used email 
much.
>>It  is a pitiful and sad situation for an organization which is to be at  
>the
>>forefront. Also, India, which is supplying IT talent  world-wide, has 
>enough
>>local talent to help. Only one has  to ask for help.
>>.
>>We have had a lot of hair-splitting  discussion about the rules and how 
>they
>>need to be tweaked  or changed even though such changes will not help the
>>basic  membership problems, use of Internet technology for  multi-mode
>>communication should be on top priority. Also each  section can do 
whatever
>>they want because of the autonomy that is  guaranteed by the 
organizational
>>setup of TS. Let hope that the  aged leaders wake up and show up  in
>>cyberspace.
