Internet Class Reunion

	Q. What kind of software is Internet Class Reunion?
		Internet Class Reunion (ICR) is a full featured portal site providing Email, Chat, BBS and other services to its account holders. When a user walks through the configuration steps, ICR with its facilities is automatically generated on a dedicated server, so that the user can start using Class Album, Email, Chat, BBS, etc with his fellow graduates from the very same day. ICR is accessible only by registered members - ' 1 room for 1 member ' system, Outsiders cannot enter.
	Q. Is it free of charge for all members?
		Yes, it is free, But only for members of the first registered graduation year per school. Not free for the all graduation years. Does this mean that there is a charge for registering another graduation year? Yes. However, the annual server fee is only 10000 JPY. Regardless of the number of members, this is the total fee per each additional graduation year.
	Q. Are there any special requirements for registration?
		As long as it is intended for a reunion community, there are no special requirements apart from the ICR registration request form. This form can be found on \| HOME \|, it is very simple.
	Q. I'm interested in creating an Internet Class Reunion (ICR) group, but do I have to obtain formal approval from my school in advance?
		Anyone in a school or official or unofficial school reunion organization can create an ICR group. For an unofficial school reunion, the group is generally labeled as "Unofficial Site of XX School".
	Q. I am thinking of creating an ICR group as part of my school's unofficial school reunion organization. Do I need prior approval from all alumni?
		No, you do not need prior approval from all alumni. As the creator of the group, you can issue passwords only to those members who you would like to attend. Therefore, no prior approval is required. Any pictures posted to your graduation album will be visible to anyone who graduated in the same year, but the graduation album does not have a copyright for access by the graduates in the graduation year. An ICR group can be created with the approval of just 2 alumni and a graduation album. Once the group is established, the group will grow from 2 members to 3 members and then 4 members, and then by word of mouth, it will grow to 50 members, 100 members and so on. In this way, ICR is designed to bring together the alumni from your school.
	Q. I graduated from ABC High School in 1970. If I set up a group for my graduation year and then someone in another graduation year from the same school sets up a group, will we be able to chat with each other?
		Of course, it is possible. In the case of the same school, both years will be integrated into the same ICR. Under the ' INTERNET CLASS REUNION ' title there are two pull down menus, the one on the left lists the graduation years, the one on the right lists all the students in the selected graduation year. That is, all alumni of all graduation years of a school will be integrated into your ICR. Although all graduation albums of all graduation years are visible to all members, sharing of mail, chat, free album, etc is fully configurable, and it is up to you whether or not to differentiate the access to these services for different graduation years. In this case, how will all ICR managers be organized in the registered year? In general, there is a "class reunion organization" for each school, and this organization is made up of "reunion managers", one for each graduation year. In accordance with this system, ICR establishes a committee to manage the personnel affairs of reunion managers. (The committee has access to the "executive room", which can be accessed by a password known only to committee members.) In essence, ICR has the same system used in reunion organizations in many schools. This committee is a private organization within ICR and is not an official school committee. If necessary, you can invite the present reunion committees of your school to ICR, or you can transfer the position of manager to another classmate after creating the ICR group. Although this may sound somewhat confusing, this just means that reunion manager personnel changes can always be made through the ICR committee when necessary. (You do not have to make any changes if not needed.)
	Q. Is the privacy of each member fully protected?
		ICR groups do not share a common password. Each member has their own password and their own password-protected "room". Members can also change their password freely. In this way, the privacy of all members is fully protected. To ensure further protection, reunion managers have a function in their rooms to protect against potential abusers. Can a class reunion really be organized with a "1 member, 1 room" system? ICR provides a public space for social interaction among alumni and rooms for individual members. You can use this trial version to see what ICR offers and envision an official ICR group for your school.
	Q. Can someone with no good knowledge of the WEB carry out the ICR registration steps? What are the concrete steps of this procedure? Are there any important points to pay special attention to?
		With a graduation photo album and a scanner, anybody can perform the registration steps easily. Go to \| HOME \| and click on the ' INTERNET CLASS REUNION ' title, then the <Setup Manual> of ICR which demonstrates the registration procedure. It is a good idea to go through the sample steps before doing the actual registration. There is one very important point during the registration procedure. It is, The all class members of registering a graduation year must be registered with no exceptions. Registering only some of the classes, or skipping some member or deceased class members is strictly forbidden. Neglecting these essential rules would defeat the purpose of the graduation album and cause database malfunction, so please adhere to them strictly.
	Q. To create an ICR group for a school, does that school's official reunion manger need to register? What does an ICR manager do?
		You do not need to be the official reunion manager of your school to create an ICR group. Any alumnus can initially register the group and then transfer registration to the official manager after the group is created. The ICR manager is the person who created the ICR group. The manager must provide all members with individual passwords when creating the group. The manager is provided with a special administrative page from which e-mail messages with individual passwords can be automatically sent to all members.
	Q. After I create a group, how can I access it and what is the official web address? Also, what does an official ICR group page look like?
		The web address and login password of the ICR group are displayed after the group is created and registered. Enter the web address into your web browser to display the login page. Then you simply enter your password to view your ICR. HERE is an example of a header of an official ICR, and HERE is an example of the ICR login page.
	Q. I belong to a private organization. Can I create an ICR group for a private organization that is not affiliated with a school?
		ICR is designed for school class reunions, but you may be allowed to create a non-school related group depending on the organization. Please consult us first.
