<div dir="ltr">One solution to the concerns Starchild raised is to use a job-title "real" email as described, and then a forwarder to person's name @ lp, which they can log into on the site or forward to their own email (as I've done with my LNC email). That way you keep all the archives together, but they also show, historically, who sent and received each email, and anyone who communicates with that person sees their name on the email address - say a person doesn't know who to contact, so they write to "convention committee." They then receive back an email with a person's name on it, and conduct further communications with that person. You can even assign forwarders like this to more than one person on the same underlying email, although that might be a little frustrating for the people who receive all the one-sided messages. One advantage of this is that you never have to give people the "keys" to the underlying email box, and so, when that person leaves or is terminated, they can no longer send from their email address. I can still send from several non-existent email addresses for past employers, since they didn't get rid of the email box when I left just removed my access to it, which is probably less than ideal.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Joshua A.

<p>Caryn Ann, the idea of having an LP-email that's attached to a committee is really good. It creates a fixed point of contact, gives the exchange the proper official LP business gravitas, and as you mentioned, eliminates the changing members situation. I like it. <br><br></p>

<p>Daniel Hayes's idea is good. Sean O'Toole's idea is also good. <br><br>Some of the LP committees interact with people, businesses, and media, outside of the internal LP circle.
