Dear TIGers,

Long time since I have been active, let alone having a rank activity of 13 or so. I have been a bit away from TIG activities since the beginning of this year, reasons including my embarking on few business initiatives as well as switching jobs.

I still used to check on Discussion Boards but did rarely post anything, if any.

I thought I would write this post as I have been thinking, having discussed with Jennifer, Liam and TIG staffers, to take my involvement in TIG activities to a somewhat different level from what it was hitherto, community engagement moderator.

I will be, if things work out well, part of the newly formed TIG Advisory Committee, an advisory body to be consulted on matters of or related to the Online Community activities such as resource submission, member engagement and promotional activities.

TIG has been a major part of my life since 2005 and has, in many ways, shaped over recent years my personality, knowledge and perception of the world. I owe it a very big deal and, by taking this new level of engagement, repay somewhat by contributing to its activities and helping it achieve its goals.
