I'm not a strong advocate to automatically posting profiles PPP. Too often this occurs seeminlgy with out sufficient research. It is too often a pain to merge two ppp profiles, when one is fully researched and the other is too often meaningless but marked ppp and not the oldest.
Far as I am concerned the ppp could be dropped until it is requested by the project managers
The person posting the PPP status should be identified as well as exactly which project the ppp belongs to and the date of marking. This could be easily identified in a posting or in the biography section of the profile.
Thanks, Cindy Williams Lesure
