Frequent Questions about the Community
What is the benefit of joining the SICM online communit? Members of the SICM community can consult each other on questions about church music, share stories and ideas, make friendships and professional alliances and they can receive information on SICM news and activities.
How much does it cost to join the SICM Community Online? Nothing! Unlike almost all comparable church musical organisations, there are no membership fees.
Do I need to be a computer expert, or have a fancy new computer to join? No. If you can see this website and read e-mail, you know everything you need to know. Likewise, if your computer can handle browsing web sites and sending and receiving e-mail, it is all the computer you need.
What personal information is shared with other members and other users of the Internet? Only what you choose to share. SICM shares no information with any third party. Yahoo! (for e-mail list members) and Facebook (for Facebook group members) allow you to control carefully what information is shared both with them and with other users and how much and what kind of information you want to receive or see.
How much more e-mail traffic should I expect as a result of joining? Both the Yahoo Groups list and the Facebook group allow you to control how much e-mail you receive. Historically the traffic on the Yahoo Groups list is extremely light (10-15 messages per year). Although the Facebook group allows and encourages more frequent sharing among members, you are able to specify how much, and what kind of traffic you would like to be notified of by e-mail, from all to none.
