Well that made everyone go quiet Kora... or perhaps they didn’t read it as a longer post.

I can only speak for myself and was not aware of the specific rumour you mention but do often pick up of dissatisfaction from others...

I don’t think I personally have an IMMA fear ... sometimes I have felt it might be easier to work independently of the community/group. My gripes would all be around communication.

Also I am not moaning I am commenting because I have been asked 

My subjective experience:

1) Emails that have been important to me have been ignored on a few occasions
2) There’s not much “community” in this community compared to some other modalities I’m trained in
eg the same names show up here again and again - many of the Masters and board have no presence here ~ not sure what they are up to but the experienced members do have opportunity here to develop newbies which does then extend out extrinsically, other groups are flourishing in comparison
3) I have had issues with the log in to the wiki ... can get frustrating ... again not many people are commenting in there - is it same for them re logging in?
4) Group fragmentation led and possible fear (!) from Trainers into the community... fear that other people are going to nick your ideas rather than open sharing ...
5) Goalposts changing regarding standards

Do people need to calm down or is there apathy?

I love META-Health but don’t feel proud to be an IMMA member 

Really pleased that reflection is happening - thanks for posting Kora 

Look forward to seeing other comments as I have shared ....

Thank you for commenting and bringing things up, Jo - I hope others follow your example.
Yet I like to comment or ask deeper on some points, like:

1) if we look on the emails that were not answered: have you been aware that emails to @meta-health.org addresses were not received since the server crash in april 2017? This was made public in the member notifications and on FB. But even Master Trainers often still use unvalid email addresses which then go to nirvana.
However, everyone can read both on the IMMA website www.meta-health.info and here in this group in a sticky note above, where emails can be sent to so they are received and answered quickly.
Plus we are monitoring inquiries on the IMMA FB page and in this group, forwarding them to the right recipient...

2) this is correct, and FB is not the presence of the community as many are not active there. MTs and Board members have seldom time for this, it is an unpaid job.
When introducing the members' portal www.meta-health.net on the Conference in Mumbai, we intended to provide and develop a powerful place for professional exchange, mutual support and internal transparency, where all relevant data can be accessed in one place and is safe. Every member gets access, but to use it of course is up to them.
Meanwhile, Facebook is a place to attract new people.
Ideas to inspire more people to share are very welcome :-)

3) you can save your login in your browser so don't have to bother?
Security of the programme unvalidates you on the third false login attempt, then you must be revalidated manually. This is to keep the site free from robots and viagra.

4) this might be a very valid point - how could it be addressed?

5) The standards we have now are basically the same as before, but clarified as to how to assess them. This means for some Trainers a lowering and for others an elevation...

Thank you again, and I hope my comments are of some help, too, and don't intimidate :-) Love, Kora
