[Lnc-business] Memo to LP State Chairs: Send us your Affiliate News

[Guy McLendon]

I would like to take this calendar as an opportunity for the ASC to get some work done …

 

The technical aspect of the facility itself does not really appear to be broken, so let’s not fix it just yet …

All that affiliates have to do right now to get something on the calendar is to drop an email to Eric with the info.  That's a pretty low hurdle, yet our affiliates aren't interested enough in the idea to even do that.

I doubt that we would suddenly get more material if we made it harder to get things posted by requiring that they get a username/password and navigate the software to post it themselves.  We currently volunteer our staff's time to do it for them if only they will drop us an email, but they don't.

I don't see how increasing the difficulty of putting something on the calendar will result in more material being posted there.

I would not support the idea of allowing people we barely know to be able to post material on our website, people who don't answer even indirectly to the LNC thus don't feel a need to abide by LNC policies.  That is a very large can of worms that will result in our spending a lot of time debating policies to try to manage it.  If we are to have an event calendar on the site, I'd rather just have staff as the gatekeeper with the simple process we have now of just emailing the info to Eric.  If there's not enough material, and staff wants to take it down, our ED can handle that question
