- AA: After the complain from AA in the last general assembly about not being able to
open AMAN website, I exchange some emails in the subject but never received any
reply or contribution.
To be noted that AA was till 2007 the highest contributor in MedNews Session
- TANJUG & LUSA contribute very rarely
- AFP: - As usual statistics show that France is the highest domain from which AMAN
website is being visited (12.5%), and AFP still never contribute to MedNews session.
NOTES :
1- In the last General Assembly hold in Lisbon June 2008, It had been decided that the
contribution to the MedNews session in AMAN website can be done in 3 languages
(English, French and Arabic); But at the exception of AMI ( who contribute in French)
all other members are still contribute in English only.
2- Also in Lisbon June 2008, During the General Assembly it had been decided that the
MedNews session will more friendly to use and be published directly on the Main Page.
This Step did not been accomplish cause we had been informed by The Secretary
General That a new Website is under construction. The news design will take into
consideration the direct publication of MedNews Session on the Main Page.
