Current Issues - Roaming• Difficult to navigate

– No roaming info of any kind on CDG home page– No direct link to roaming– No PRL Tools link (should have a PRL Tools banner)

• Non-member Roaming section– Out-dated content and organization of this section– Need to add PRL Tools to this section also

• Members-only section– No direct link to Roaming (in CDG Members-only home page)– Reorganization or roaming section required– Need to update content

• Better highlight Roaming• Add direct link to Roaming section (open, non-member)• Add PRL Tool-suite Banner• Add IRT Meeting Banner or link• Add roaming bullet to Quick Market Facts

1) Scrolls down to 3 pages. Need to divide in smaller sub-sections that fit in roughly one page:-Documentation-Tools-Glosssary-Contacts

2) Need to update sidebar and content (sub-section under Roaming Resources)

3) Should include Roaming Glossary (Brian G)???

Need to beef up a bit. Pretty sure we can come up with more than two roaming news items in 4 months!!!

Members-only Section• Member Home page (after member sign-in):

– Add direct Roaming links• On side bar• On content area – with short description

• Roaming members-only section– Can get to this section via (www.cdg.org/irt) or by clicking on

“new” roaming direct link in member home page– Need significant reorganization of content and side-bar areas

• Create sub-sections to make navigation easier• Each sub-section should fit roughly in one page• Archive or delete old or outdated content
