Strategy/Tactics
More publicity for ILC in general
 We need to know our readers better
 Advertise NewsLine better ?
 Increase media contacts ?
Our current communication channels mostly targeted for
ILC community
 Make sure to enlarge our target readers?
 Surveys? Opinion from people outside our community?
Deep thinking and tactics on going
Need of appropriate tools to evaluate and improve our
communication (like web statistics tools), hire dedicated
webmaster …
