Description: The request is aimed at supporting Google Analytics tracking of on-site newsletter subscriptions as a new goal conversion.

This probably requires adding a Javascript 'onClick' event to the 'Subscribe' button, seen, for example, here:
http://www.gbif.org/newsroom/summary

The link is already redirected once:
http://www.jangomail.com/OptIn.aspx?RedirectURLSuccess=http%3A//www.gbif.org/newsletter-subscription/confirmation

Please review for feasibility. For more on tracking this specific GA event, see:

as well as
https://www.google.com/analytics/web/?hl=en#management/Settings/a42057855w71692566p73962076/%3Fm.page%3DGoals%26m-content-goalList.rowShow%3D10%26m-content-goalList.rowStart%3D0%26m-content-goalList.sortColumnId%3Dname%26m-content-goalList.sortDescending%3Dfalse/

If implementation is overly complicated in current site, deferral the request as a new requirement for implementation in GBIF.org v3.  ]]>
