<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

I realized that this message should be on a separate subject. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>To refresh, at Business Meeting, Caelin and I found out that
each of us thought that the other was performing the process to allow access to
the website. At that time Caelin called me and said that there were some 30
people awaiting access. We decided to perform a mass acceptance of all the
people waiting for access. At this time I realized that we have a problem with
our approval process. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Basically, we approve access to anyone. I have discussed my
concerns about with Aislyn. and this is the follow on email covering this
point.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Some checks like an obviously fake email address are not
approved. However, we need better process. Perhaps I could look them up there
names in our Doomsday or the Ansteorra OP? There names will not appear if
there a new member or if they had changed the SCA name. Likewise, if there a
Steppes member or Stargate member wanting access, we don’t have access to
there Doomsday. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Of course I could call them (we ask for a phone number) and
see if there legit. Again, what questions to ask for verification? You could
always just say “new member” and gain access.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Then there is the question of what is the logon access for?
For those reading along, it’s an electronic members list (eDoomsday).
Apparently, the logon is to limit access to this membership list only to the
verified members. It is supposed to give us a feeling of protection of our
online data is limited access. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’ve thought about shutting down the log on side of
the website. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I personally like that idea of a having a phone list on
line. One were each of us could change our contact information on the fly.
You logon and find someone current phone number or email address. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>What about being able to update our address book (outlook,
outlook express, etc.) with this current information? I don’t know about
you, but having an electronic copy of our Doomsday was real helpful when Kat
and I worked through our wedding invite list. Yes, this copy was two or three
years out of date and that was a problem. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>With some work, there could be way to access this eDoomsday
for officers list. I thought about how nice it would be for the Seneschal to
log on and assign members to Offices (dynamically) to their office. Likewise,
I thought about access the eDoomsday to update our contact information on the
Offices page dynamically. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Another user if being able to have our list of champions (in
a new undeveloped database) accessing the eDoomsday. You could contact one of
our champions (assuming that they have a record on our eDoomsday). Or generate
a list of our champions contact information for a mailing list. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>One of the biggest concerns is that this website could not
be maintained except by a very few people. What ever I came up with, the next
Virtual Scribe, could rewrite the website because they don’t have access
to the tools (or knowledge) being used. I have no problem with this because
this is the virtual nature of this work. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
