452.0. "Question on DCU POSTINGs" by NOVA::WASSERMAN (Deb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863) Wed Feb 05 1992 15:35

    I've read all the 74 replies in note 2, and was going to add this one,
    but it has been set nowrite.  Moderators, please move it if appropriate.
    
    Anyway, I recently discovered this notesfile, and find it quite
    informative.  However, in my random perusing of the file, I
    occasionally come across basenotes entitled "DCU POSTING: x",
    containing notification of policy changes, etc., or other important
    information that I would have expected to received directly from DCU in
    the form of a newsletter, flyer included in my statement, etc.  I find
    it disconcerting that this file seems to be the only channel of
    communication for certain information.
    
    Can someone address this concern?

	RE: .0 DCU replies in here tended to be aimed at specific questions or problems that somebody posted. Usually an answer stating some DCU policy that isn't in print. Lately they seem to be going more towards the announcement format. I don't think anything in here hasn't been or won't be issued to the general membership. Do you think DCU should send it out to everybody first and then post in here?
452.2	DCU should send this via US mail	NOVA::WASSERMAN	Deb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863	`Wed Feb 05 1992 16:17`	53
	I am referring to notes such as these. This is important information, and I think it should be U.S.-mailed to everybody with a DCU account, not simply posted in an unofficial channel such as a notesfile, which is very easily missed. Author: DCU Date: 03-Feb-1992 Posted-date: 04-Feb-1992 Subject: Annual Meeting DIGITAL EMPLOYEES' FEDERAL CREDIT UNION NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING DCU's annual meeting will be held on April 23, 1992 at 3:00 p.m. at the Maynard Rod & Gun Club, Old Mill Road, Maynard, MA. If you have any questions, please call Sandy Ramalho at DTN/223-6735 or 508/493-6735, ext. 231. Author: DCU Date: 27-Jan-1992 Posted-date: 28-Jan-1992 Subject: subordination agreement DIGITAL EMPLOYEE'S FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Mortgage Update - Subordination Agreement If a member is refinancing their first mortgage with another financial institution and they have a Home Equity loan with DCU they would like to keep open, the member must request a Subordination Agreement from DCU. A Subordination Agreement is a written agreement that allows a new first mortgage to become the priority lien on the property while leaving DCU as the second lien on the property. DCU will process Subordination Agreements for members within two weeks of request. To expedite processing, members must obtain the following documents from the lender and supply them to DCU: 1) Complete copy of the appraisal report including photos; 2) Copy of the Fannie Mae transmittal summary; 3) The name, address and telephone number of the appraiser. If you have any questions about Subordination Agreements or DCU's Mortgage program, please call the Mortgage department at DTN/223-6735 or 508/493-6735, ext. 316.

	Deb, I believe that this announcement will be sent to all members. I seem to remember getting such announcements in the past. I thing that posting such announcements here is in addition to rather than as a replacement for mailings. Alfred
452.4		VSSCAD::RITCHIE	Elaine Kokernak Ritchie	`Wed Feb 05 1992 16:31`	5
	The notice about the annual meeting will be mailed. It has to be. I think the other postings will be in a Network insert in the next statement. DCU is definitely aware that all 88,000 members don't read the notesfile Elaine
452.5	Thanks for the reply	NOVA::WASSERMAN	Deb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863	`Wed Feb 05 1992 16:40`	3
	Good, that makes me feel better. I was worried that if I didn't happen to stumble across these notes, I'd miss finding out something I needed to know.
452.6	It is an additional channel	STAR::PARKE	True Engineers Combat Obfuscation	`Wed Feb 05 1992 16:41`	11
	BUT these posting do provide more rapid access to the information than being required to wait until the next Network publication. Use of this channel does provide additional, and hopefully freer information flow to the members. It does get out from the notesfile. Bill
452.7	Entertainment value	PLOUGH::KINZELMAN	Paul Kinzelman	`Wed Feb 05 1992 16:42`	3
	Re: .5 Just think of all the entertainment you were missing! 8*)

	Re: .0 DCU is starting to realize the value of this form of communication. They have just recently started posting the announcements you referred to. I'm sure they will also go out in the mail. There are over 20,000 non-DEC people who belong to the DCU. They have probably posted this information in VTX LiveWire too, but I haven't checked it recently. Personally, I welcome this new form of additional communication.
