Thanks, but can you update this with the links? I'm guessing there is a link to the webinar

[ThomKearney]

Right, they got lost in the past. Updated now. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Miranda,
Links seem to work now.
Let me know if they still do not work. Also I have tweeted out the main link a couple of times @ThomKearney Register for the Webinar before Aug 3.

Hi, Thom, TL;DR summary: *There is no information on when the webinar will be held.* Details: I got no links via either of the github notifications today. They may work but I can't click on invisible links. My email was similar to Nick's comment asking for you to send the links down the notification list. Updating the blog isn't enough since the blog home page isn't in the notification. Yes, I saw the link on a tweet / retweet today. In that thread I saw a link to a survey form to register. This is the thread (in reverse sequence) Hide Conversation [image: OpenGovCan] Open Government CANThanks for letting us know! Please use this link to register for the webinar: ow.ly/bIU230e5uIa <https://t.co/a9SVBc8LPS> 8h [image: ataboun04] Ahlam TabounThe link to register for the webinar doesn't work.

It isn't marked as a mandatory question but appears to be mandatory. The form will submit while this question is empty* if you force it.* But it wasn't clear to me that this was the issue with the survey until I forced it to submit and then downloaded my data. [And I used to be a web survey designer / programmer.] *This form doesn't say when the webinar is.* Nor did I get an acknowledgement email in the 6 hours since I submitted my registration. I have 100% non-attendance at meetings at unknown times. I think this communication / stakeholder gathering process needs tweaking. Cheers, Miranda Miranda Gray mirgray@gmail.com
