[Businessmtg] Archives follow up

[Lynne]

Hi everyone,

Two points of follow up:

1. It is possible to set up a master username/password for the recovery 
meeting archives so that only the steering committee could access the 
archives. Jerry had asked me if this was possible privately. This would 
allow the SC access to the archives for purposes of their jobs (i.e. 
dealing with issues with members and reporting), but would not allow 
anyone else access to them. Jerry, please add anything I missed here.

2. The reason that some people use the archives to access daily shares 
is that their email clients (like Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, etc) do not 
reliably deliver ASP emails to their inboxes - and in fact block ASP 
emails entirely - so they are not even in their spam or junk folder. 
Again, this is entirely an issue with their email client and has nothing 
to do with ASP (exactly like ASP emails going into a spam folder - that 
has nothing to do with ASP and everything to do with someone's email 
client). If the archives were unavailable, those members would likely 
need to switch to a new email address that can reliably deliver ASP 
email, like Gmail. However, while that might sound trivial to some of 
you, I can guarantee you that is a big, big deal for some technically 
challenged members. A large portion of my job as List Administrator is 
helping people figure out that issues they are having are really with 
their email clients and not ASP and giving them some guidance on how 
they might solve them. And we do not know how many people use the 
archives like this.

Hugs,

Lynne
