Default Publishing a Membership List (at last ?)

Peter Simundson, our interum President, has recently spoken with both Provincial and Federal Privacy Commissioners and determined that the OMVA can publish its membership list (for members only) WITHOUT the written consent of each of those members.

My question to the OMVA members reading this posting is, "Should we ?".

I have personnally always believed that one of the purposes of this club should be to put owners of HMVs in contact with one another but I recognize that members have legitimate concerns with regards to security, spam, phone sales and the right to be just "left alone" if they want to be.

I propose that the club establish and publish a member's list consisting of the member's name, city only, phone # and/or e-mail address and HMVs owned/area of ex-military interest.

Unless that member has specifically asked, in writing, to be excluded from that list. Keeping in mind that if you're NOT on the list then you DON'T get a copy of the list.

To date, only 15% of members have expressed their views at all but of those, 86% wish to have their info published.


Of course, a second option exists via this Forum and Geoff's kind efforts. If we ask all OMVA members to join MLU then members can exchange messages in complete privacy via Geoff's pm system. This option will however completely exclude those of our members who do not have internet access and I am reluctant to turn down that road.

Your thoughts please ?

Default Member info

Publish away, Rob. If I get spam related to military vehs... great! It will be a change from hair growth, breast and penis augmentation, weight loss, fake rolexes and bizarre bedroom or barnyard adventures! Not to mention millions in banks in Nigeria.

Rereading what I just wrote; maybe those spammers know something about me that I don't!

Default list

membership list is a good idea --only the name should be mandatory -perhaps include an application form in the next "CMP"magazine whish would allow the member limited space for more info such as address ,phone no. etc-form to be mailed or Emailed in by a certain date -perhaps list could be available on website

Robert
I fully endorse the compilation of a list available to members only, and especially only to members who go on the list. They can have mine if I can have theirs...
I also believe, that as a member of any club that I have ever belonged to, that you are judged by the company you keep.
We, for the most part, tolerate one another, and I don't think that anyone should have to hide out.
