Dear members and friends of ipernity,

1) More than 70 ipernity members participated in our club's first annual World Photography Day event in August. We thank them all for their engagement. Their contributions can be viewed in the group World Photography Day.

2) The beginning of September this year marked the fourth anniversary of us members taking over this website. We thank all those who have been and continue to be committed to it. Apart from the known risks and some minor malfunctions, there aren't currently any technical problems. Our association is also very well positioned in organisational and financial terms

3)
Nevertheless, we have a watchful eye on the number of Club members. This has declined to 991 primarily due to pandemic-related disruptions that have impacted businesses, markets and websites around the world. There are 850 inventory club members (215 with multi-year memberships) and 141 new club members since our takeover in September 2017.

4) We are still well above (42%) the minimum number of paid memberships (700) required to sustain the site. However, to protect the viability of our club and take advantage of the reversals that will take place when pandemic-related disruptions ease, we must increase our efforts to recruit new club members. We urgently request you support the promotional activities envisioned for this site, which belongs to all of us and is operated by us for ourselves.

5) With regard to IT matters, the ima team has been strengthened. We welcome the club member Realbeck to our team. According to our Statutes, VII, 10, he will support the ima team together with Rob Stamp as another executive assistant.

6) To save costs, we will soon discontinue all domains registered by us except www.ipernity.com. If you access our website with a different domain, please update your links, as only the domain www.ipernity.com remains.

Your ima team
