1. Every member should give such a minimum information, so that other members may have idea about his main discipline, education, organization, etc. A proforma may be drawn up. It may be left to the members, what they want to fill up in the proforma. They may fill up proforma in full or partial. Proforma may be short and may not be more that a page.

We have avoided making too many field mandatory to let people register fast. This is always a tradeoff. If you have specific ideas, now is a perfect time to share them as the developers are in the midst of this now.
