Can anyone help me locate on CSI website where they put all the Masterformat Accrediated Instructors Community stuff? I had back surgery last year and I am just now walking and working again and I went to the CSI website to get the paperwork on what the discounts on bulk purchase for a MAI seminar I am about to have locally and the page says error. That forum is gone. What is going on and where can I find it now?

Also, I did email csinet.org and they have not responded to me. I called as well, no help.

So maybe some of my great friends here on 4specs can help a helpless friend. hee hee

thanks

There's a MasterFormat Discussion in the CSI Forums located here http://www.csinet.org/s_csi/sec_forums.asp?CID=11&DID=11&ForumId=12

What do you want to purchase - copies of MF 2004?

Thanks Helaine,

Yes, I do want to do a bulk purchase. It feels like I have been in a coma and I am just waking up to all the changes. I need to get use to this...

Anyway, we are going to try to put on a HUGE all day seminar and I wanted to see what was the MAI discount for bulk purchase of the MF04 edition. Do they still have that available for us?

Melissa, you should know better:

Two Rules for Specifications Writers:

1. Specifications are a pain in the neck / back.

2. All the surgery in the world does not change Rule #1.

Sincerest hopes for a speedy recovery.

And welcome back! (pun intended)

Melissa: I just went on to the CSI web site and this PDF does come up -- its the order form for the MAI documents. the "group" thing doesn't work, but you can drill down and find it.

Lane Beougher found it at my request:

Mel,

It took me a while to find it. The links from the older articles point to a page that has been moved. The direct link is http://www.csinet.org/s_csi/sec.asp?CID=1682&DID=12705 and you should be prompted to log in. To access it from the home page:

1. I went to the home page and logged in

2. I clicked on “Standards and Formats” on the left sidebar menu.

3. I clicked on “MasterFormat 2004 Edition.”

4. I clicked on “Presentations and Additional Information.”

5. I then clicked on “MasterFormat Accredited Instructor Community.”

I hope this helps.
