Notes, Q & A

General
Q1	What happens when I click the Enter button?
A1	You'll be first asked to verify your entries (unless any error is detected). Upon your confirmation, the system will automatically generate your account, and will send a mail to your primary email address notifying the URL of your personal page, initial password, and other information.
Q2	Can I register my own password?
A2	Not on this page. Wait for the mail with your initial password, and use it for your first login. You can then change to your own password in your personal page.
Q3	Do I have to enter the "optional" fields?
A3	Not necessarily, but providing such information will be of great help to us.
Q4	What characters (character codes) can I use?
A4	Important: Use only "ASCII" (iso-8859-1) characters (except when speficied otherwise). Using other codes (UTF-8, Japanese character code, etc.) may cause system errors in unpredictable ways. (Actually, the system is set to reject non-ASCII characters.)
Q5	Can I send my submissions by other means (and not from this Website)?
A5	If you have web access (which you surely do, if you are reading this), submitting from here will be the simplest way. If it's absolutely necessary, you can email or post your submission. Please ask the ICMPC10 secretary: icmpc10@psych.let.hokudai.ac.jp.
Q6	Can I later change or add to what I enter here?
A6	Yes, with the (current) exception of the primary email address. You can make changes from your personal page.
Name
Q7	Should I write full names?
A7	Write personal names in the form most convenient for other people to recognize you. Write your real name, as you would write on your paper. This being fulfilled, the first and middle names can be in initials if you like. First names are required, so write "none" in case there is no first name.
Email
Q8	What is a "primary" email address?
A8	From the user's point of view, it is where all messages from the ICMPC10 organizers (including this system) is sent to. This includes important notices such as acceptance/rejection letters. So give the address you use most frequently, and which is secure. From the system's point of view, it is the primary means for verifying your identity. The system understands you as a real (and serious) person based on the fact that you do receive mail at that address, and react accordingly. Note that the system recognizes and distinguishes you by your email address, and not by your name.
Q9	I don't have an email address. Can I still apply for an account?
A9	Based on the reason stated above, we strongly recommend obtaining, for example, a free mail account at sites like gmail.com, yahoo.com or hotmail.com. If not, you can still make your account. In this case, write none in the email box (don't leave it blank). Note that the services you receive will be limited in many ways.
Q10	What are "additional" addresses for?
A10	System message mails sent to your primary address will also be sent to the additional addresses as well. So if you are using multiple addresses, you'll be able to receive the messages at each one of them. However, crucial information (like password reminders) will be sent only to the primary address.
Affiliation, Addresses & Phone Numbers
Q11	How should I write my affiliation?
A11	Write the organization names (e.g. universities, corporations, etc.) in the "Institution Name" box, and faculties, departments, division names, etc. in the "Faculty Name" box. The boxes are free format, so write in a way that is most convenient. If you are not affiliated to any particular organization, write "none" in the "Institution Name" box.
Q12	How should I write my postal address?
A12	Write it in a form that can be directly printed on a mail envelope. Start with your name with a preferred title (Prof./Dr./Mr./Mrs./Miss/(none) ...), and don't forget to put the country name at the end. Example format: Prof. Taro Hanna Dept. of Music Perception, Hokkaido University North 10 West 7, Sapporo 060-0180 JAPAN
Q13	Why the separate treatment for Japanese addresses?
A13	Simply because all ICMPC10 mail will be sent from Japan, and the Japanese post office will be more comfortable with addresses written in Japanese.
Q14	How should I write my phone numbers?
A14	Start with your country code, preceded by a "+" sign. Hyphens and parentheses can be freely used.
Q15	Are phone numbers necessary?
A15	Not quite. Regular communication will be by email. We won't be making phone calls unless when absolutely necessary.
Miscellaneous
Q16	What is the timezone information for?
A16	The system prints out date and time on various occasions -- in UTC (GMT) by default. By specifying your timezone, the date and time will be printed in your local time.
Q17	How do I write the timezone?
A17	Give the time difference in hours, possibly with a fractional part, preceded by a "+" or "-" sign ("+" can be abbreviated). Use periods, not commas, for the decimal point. Examples are given below the timezone box.
Q18	How can I know what my timezone is?
A18	Click here to see the current time in various timezones.
Q19	What is the "ICMPC10 Newsletter"?
A19	It is a mailing-list service that sends general ICMPC10 announcements (and not personal messages) to the subscribers. The traffic is not expected to be so heavy, so we recommend subscribing to keep you informed. The actual service is expected to start somewhere in Dec. 2007, and will last till the end of the conference. The subscription will be processed manually by the secretary, so please wait for a while till you receive the "welcome" message. You are also free to unsubscribe at any time.
