  1. How to deal with passwords for key positions.  Shawna: Our credit card is connected to the Trailblazers account (e.g. Paypal, etc.).  Passwords haven’t been changed when they were setup by other people.  We need other people to have access to accounts in order to support each other and the meeting.

Discussion.  Keith: A solution would be to change the password and share it with one other group doing service.  Not perfect solution, but better than having more than two couples having access to personal information.  When we log in to Paypal we see a person’s name, Ruth, as the account owner.  Not sure if we change the password what will happen.  Shawna: Ruth is the one who setup the Paypal account and website.  The website is registered under her name.  They have agreed to allow us to continue to keep it under her name and address.  They also get the emails, so they are always in the loop if a payment needs to be made, etc.  Keith: There is a secondary user section in Paypal.  We could use that to enter the names of the couple currently holding the position.  I can do some research to come up with a suggestion to bring to the next meeting.  Shawna: Before we make any change, I want to talk to Ruth.  Don: I’ve been working to establish Paypal with another group.  Security is an excellent consideration for the group even though we are small.  I suggest it be established with the service roles (i.e. secretary couple and webmaster couple).  David: If Keith needs to contact Ruth, it’s Ruth and Debbie on the contact list.  They are actually the ones who had the idea to create Trailblazers.  Having a Paypal account was also an issue with tax reporting.  Ruth agreed to handle that for the group.  Security is important.  I agree there should be multiple people who have access to the passwords (e.g. Secretaires, Treasurers, Webmasters).  Part of job descriptions.  Shawna: The website was paid by Ruth.  They needed to send us an invoice which needed to be paid by Paypal.  To make it easier, Gunther entered his credit card to the account.  Robin did as well.  It is hidden in the account.  Keith: I will make a note of this in the documentation [during my research].  Robin: We would take over using our credit card now that we are Webmaster, which would take care of the web hosting.  Keith: Password could change each time the position gets changed over.  Gunter: Are you sure you can change the password if the account is not yours?  Keith: The password change confirmation email is going to the Secretary and Treasurer.  If I get stuck I can contact Ruth.  Shawna: Ruth gets the admin email.  Lance and Quinn do too, who used to be the Webmaster.  And now Robin and Donna.  Lance and Quinn will be removed now, and I will remove Gunter and myself as well.  Keith: treasurer@, admin@ and secretary@rcatrailblazers.org are the emails on the Paypal account profile page.
