Services Director – Webserver, Website, and Internet MattersAustin Lockwood, ICCF Services Director presented his report. The report was accepted in full and efforts were immediately underway to implement all Priority 1 tasks identified at the Services Director meeting held prior to Congress. Dear friends, I present my third annual report as ICCF Services Director. Members of the ICCF Services Committee met in Bolton, England, in June to review progress with the Phase 11 plan, and to develop the proposed Phase 12 plan, which I present here for delegates approval at Congress. I believe that with the support of all ICCF players and officials, we have made great progress with the webserver over the past 12 months, and I look forward to continuing this work for the remainder of 2014 and into 2015. At our last Congress of 2013 in Krakow, delegates voted to allow claims to be made based on tablebase evaluations. We took this opportunity to implement a fully featured system for processing claims on the server, this involved a significant update, and we now have a system, which is clear and easy to use for both players and tournament directors. We also now have the facility easily to audit the performance of tournament directors; this represents a significant improvement in the server over the last twelve months. Martin Bennedik has implemented extensive device support, server pages now adapt responsively to the device on which they are viewed; this includes desktop screens of all sizes, tablets and mobile phones (we appreciate that we made one or two mistakes with this implementation, and will restore the customisable games list as soon as we can!). Following consultation with a well-known expert in the field, Troy Hunt AUS, we have also completed a review of server security and implemented a number of recommendations. As he is a native of Sydney, I hope to meet and personally thank Mr Hunt for his contribution during my time at Congress. Unfortunately, there are still areas where the service in which we provide is inadequate; in particular, the online documentation for players is still poor; this remains a high priority.
