Welcome to FEDS, the Federal Electronic Document Systems Association.

Your suggestions and active participation in our association and our online forum are welcomed and encouraged. There are, of course, some basic rules of conduct that we ask all members to follow.

Some basic information for using this site:

This forum functions both as an organizational website and an email listserv. As such, you can receive group announcements, conduct threaded discussions/conversations with other members of the group, and view and download documents that have been posted to the site by our moderators.

A few points of note:

  • In order to participate in the Blog sections of the site, you must first be a registered user of the FEDS website and be a FEDS member in good standing, having paid your annual dues. If you have difficulties registering to use the site, please contact the site for assistance. If you wish to join FEDS, please contact our .
  • In the desire to promote active discussion, this list is not currently moderated. Any message posted to the Blog board by registered members will automatically be posted to the list. The moderators reserve the right to remove offensive or inappropriate messages. Should such behavior prove chronic, posts may be moderated, and await individual approval by a moderator before being posted.

  • Rules of Conduct:
  • No flaming: Remarks that insult or attack a person's character are not permitted. Debating a subject is permitted and encouraged, but please remember that the debate is about a subject--not the person.
  • No Profanity
  • No Spam
  • Post only messages that are for the whole group, messages directed to an individual should be sent to that person's email.
  • Nice things to do:

  • If replying to a post, and the content or topic of the discussion has changed, please change the name of the post in the subject line.
  • Trim your post: If you are replying to a series of discussions, please delete any old portions of the prior discussion that are no longer needed; this will help to keep the threads small and easy to read.
  • Make your posts brief and easy to read. This will encourage more members to actively ready and consider them.
  • Thank you, and welcome to our online community!

    Sincerely,

    Jeff Yake, Webmaster
