Subject: FEEDBACK BY MEMBERS POSTED ON THE IESM WEB SITE

Date: Monday, 27 April, 2009, 6:27 PM

Dear Friends,

This is an attempt to answer as many of the queries raised on the "Feedback" link of our site www.iesm.org as possible in one go. It may not satisfy all, but slowly we shall have enough staff (as membership and our fund state improves) for us to be able to answer each one. At present, it is I and me.

Opening chapter/ branch in other countries. please go ahead and do do but all membership forms, fees and donations must come to the central HQ in Gurgaon. In fact, you may be able to help those who do not have an Acct in India and cannot remit in INR, to send you the money and you can send to us through your acct in India. We do not have the facility to receive payments in foreign currency at present.

We hope to start posting important information on ESM benefits on the site some day, as the site and its management matures. In the meantime, please join "Report my signal blogspot" and the "Indianveterans@yahoogroups.com" . These circulate most of the important info on their blogs.

Medal deposit with the President would re-commence after the new Govt is formed and we have seen its reaction/ response to our demands. These have been deposited four times already.

Those who wish to support our endeavours and membership drive, please encourage max numbers. Civs and serving soldiers can also join as "supporters'. They cannot be members. We have some such supporters already. Their contribution will be gratefully accepted as a donation. Please do not wait for others to ask you, go ahead and start motivating. Slowly others will join you.

Slowly, all contributions will be entered on the site. Each entry has to be done singly. Will take time. present focus is up to 31 Mar. Membership No/ Card will take time, please.

To Master-at-Arms IB Singh. Please register online on the site. Click"register" then click "register online" fill form and submit. Deposit money in any local branch of HDFC Bank and send us details of deposit by mail. You may download form too from website and post to us along with your cheque.

We propose to add provision for each member to see his full details (including amount sent by him). Action in hand to design software.

Similarly, we propose to add a provision of subsequent payments after the MEMBERSHIP FEES HAS BEEN PAID soon. At present, second payment is not accepted by the site. However, please send the subsequent donations to us directly. we shall enter from here.

For Wg Cdr Sridhar YS. We request you to support our cause and not only join the IESM as a member and donate generously, but also motivate others too to support our cause.
