Index of Subjects Mark, with existing IPs, the only way I know of assigning a new IPE is to enter that person's CCN user ID in the already existing database record. The database requires that someone be there, not just as editor, but also to receive IP mail, etc. The only way around it would be to delete the original database record and take out some other kind of new IP that requires only a password to FTP. I have heard these discussed on CCN lists, but have not seen anything. I might add after just seeing David Murdoch's reply ... > This needs some discussion bacause it moves the IP editors with such > access you describe to a more distant relationship with CCN. It is my observation that almost every (perhaps all) those wishing to take over an outdated site *ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT a CCN account*. It takes a lot of coaxing to get them to take out one. They can't stand more bureaucracy, registering on-line, delivering dirvers license or other ID's, being asked for money, etc. Most already have 2 or 3 accounts elsewhere and don't want more. They don't need another login and another password. From many I detect they would like nothing better than to take the IP site to their own ISP where they can manage it from their familiar connect. Much of the same applies to those bringing an existing site in to become a CCN IP. Somebody else in the organization might want it hosted on CCN. But the proposed IPE won't follow through on getting a CCN account. I have seen a couple simply go away. In one case the person skilled at html and page organization etc. refused to take out an account. So somebody else unskilled volunteered to be be the IPE only to the extent they would take out an account, and simply FTP the pages that the creator zipped and emailed to him. Actually they were resorting to sharing around the account login and password because the official IPE1 found the process confusing. I think they have disappeared.
