WCPA Collaboration Portal
	The WCPA Collaboration Portal is a Web tool that facilitates collaboration among the WCPA members. It allows any member to post information under specific topics, themes or projects, to participate in discussion forums, or to search the portal for information, documents, organizations or expertise in specific topics.  Because the management of the WCPA Portal is fully decentralized, the success of the portal will rely on all members’ active participation. Working together we can make the portal an important and valued resource. Through separate emails you should have received your ID and password. To access the portal all you need is access to the Internet; you do not need to install any other software. We hope you find this tutorial useful.
