Guest Joanne Posted January 22, 2018 at 09:03 PM Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 at 09:03 PM In a small club of under 10 members, can a membership list be sent to all club members on an annual basis without a majority vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstackpo Posted January 23, 2018 at 11:54 AM Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 at 11:54 AM Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I'd think privacy and security concerns would suggest not sending out such a list at all, particularly if the "sending" was via e-mail or the member list contained full contact information. At the least, ask each member if he/she is willing to have their names spread around. Noted: this view doesn't have any particular RONR connection.

Agreeing with Chris Harrison and JJ, I see nothing wrong with it. If a member does have a problem with it, he can voice his objection and the club can then determine how to deal with it. Personally, I have a problem with people who want to belong to an organization but don't want the other members to know how to get in touch with them. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. At any rate, RONR has nothing to say about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would note that some organizations require that some contact information be distributed. If you are a member and don't like that, you can resign or not to join in the first place. I am familiar with one group that does it. Edited January 23, 2018 at 02:45 PM by J. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFS1970 Posted January 25, 2018 at 03:15 PM Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 at 03:15 PM A possible compromise might be a list of names and a preferred contact method. If someone wants to keep their phone number secret but is OK with getting e-mails then so be it. As long as the organization has all the info to contact the membership for official purposes that should suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
