All this results from what is a highly confusing and regretable set of
circumstances and events which (I hope) we can move towards sorting out.
There exist two 'entities' on the CCN:
1) There is a *private user account* <dplayers@chebucto.ns.ca> which
belongs to Cliff Tyner. It is regretable that this custom user login was
selected (i advised him against doing so) since it makes it appear as if
this account was formally associated with the Dartmouth Players Website,
which it is not.
If Cliff Tyner is no longer responsible for this account (and Penny Dann
should technically *not* be using it since it is a violation of the CCN
User Agreement to give a user account to someone else) then it really
should be closed, or at least closed and then re-opened as an account
under her name.
2) There is an *administrative majordomo mailing-list*
<d-players@chebucto.ns.ca> (see where the confusion arises ... ;->) which
is the internal administrative list associated with the Dartmouth Players
site. The intent of this list is as a contact list for matters pertaining
to your organization. It's a private list so I can't look at the
membership, however who *should* be on it (and I have every reason to
believe are on it) are:
Joyce McGrath
Holly Irving
Joyce Dagnall
Who are the current editors of the site. Thus mail to
<d-players@chebucto.ns.ca> is distributed to all three of you. This
feature is integrated into the CCN's C)omment feature and establishes the
ownership of all the documents in your site.
I recommend that:
You close the account dplayers and Penny Dann registers for an account
under her own name (which may or may not be dplayers: I recommend not
since it's confusing with d-players). Then she can be added to the
administrative list d-players. If one of you *doesn't* want to be a member
of the list (since you won't be fielding inquiries) then you can simply
un-subscribe yourselves from the it.
If you have been using the dplayers address as a contact for the
organization and would prefer to retain it rather than d-players then our
technical staff can make the change of moving the name once the individual
account has been closed.

I can't comment on this: perhaps one of our technical people can. I have
found that case sometimes seems to have an effect with such custom user
logins on the CCN. Thus H.Irving may not be the same as h.irving or
variations thereon. I'll let the technical people comment.

You're very welcome! It's our pleasure to work with community
organizations like the Dartmouth Players towards our joint goal of making
this community a better and more vibrant place to live!
Onwards!
