The US Trademark for " International Platform Association" has been granted. Stationery, envelopes and marketing willcommence.

The database of previous membership records, event attendees, event speakers and those who have won awards is closeto being completed. This database will soon get all the proper reviews including a death list purge from the SocialSecurity office. Otherwise I will keep marketing close to the vest.

In the same way two newspapers in a town estab lish a joint operating agreement, such an agreement is close to being

complete between ExpertClick and IPA. IPA members will get ExpertClick benefits and ExpertClick members will getIPA benefits - more on that soon.

IPA will have five member levels, and you' ll see more on this soon. As IPA is the "Celebration of the Spoken Word,"the levels are:

Celebrants of the spoken word - those who attend, observe, judge contests. Creators of the spoken word - speakers, poets, comedians, authors, journalists. Catalysts of the spoken word - basically the sellers of stuff other than the spoken word. Customers of the spoken word - Hosted Buyers with demonstrated purchase authority: meeting planners,

speaker bureaus. By invitation and with a commitment to judge the final rounds of the Speakers' Ladder.

Correspondents of the spoken word -working professional journalists accredited by an AP1.org newsorganization.
