I think the inclusion of a telephone help desk service would benefit a lot
of members.  I imagine it would be difficult to implement due to the number
of bilingual staff that would be required.  This would therefore require
substantial funding which would probably affect member fees.  In addition,
most of the actual processes would have to remain based on the email system.
Even so, if the operational scope was clearly defined it would be useful for
help, advice, and a reliable point of contact.
