Introduction

There's a need to integrate/streamline a number of procedures/tools regarding the way we currently handle memberships of the space. Most of these have to do with handling member-forms, doorfobs, etc.

New Member

Currently

Bringing in a new member involves a number of things that currently are seperate:

  • Inform member about rules/rights/etc of the space.
  • Fill in memberform
  • Transfer memberform content into online form
  • Add member to the tinance system
  • Inform member about joining our mailinglist

Suggested future situation

Informing the member about how things work will be unavoidable, also in the future, but might involve more pre-made/pre-prepared materials in online or paper form. The rest, however, can be modernized a little.

  • NO paper form anymore
  • Online form system that auto-performs a number of steps
  • Include subscription to members-list to the process

Procedure

  • Board-member either:
    • Opens up a protected URL and helps new member fill in an online form

OR

    • Creates a publically accessible URL for new member , sent by mail/whatever,

which allows a new member to

    • Read policies/info/etc about the space
    • fill in details required for membership (most of it) by himself; sanity-check input for nick-collisions, etc.
    • Allow member to specify mailinglist-preferences


  • Upon completion, form is checked/completed (administrative info about fob/etc) and 'approved'
  • The approval triggers sending a verification-email to the new member who has to reply to it and/or visit included link
  • Upon confirmation:
    • Add user to tinance
    • Contents of memberform *logged* for future reference in some way. preferably in a verifiable/signed manner: a pdf signed with pgp-key would be useful.
    • Contents of memberform *SENT* to new member with all the detail as filled in/confirmed/verified. PDF signed with PGP-key ?
    • Contents (also) added to an electronically searchable medium (a DB of memberforms)
    • Add user to mailinglist(s)
    • Send a summary to admin@board.techinc.nl

Procedure

Steps of procedure:

  • handson (fill in memberform, handson with member

OR

  • invite (create token, send to new member)
  • remote subscription (Fill in memberform)

after which:

  • validation (review filled in form)
  • verification (mail member with request to validate subscription)
  • processing (upon verification, subscribe member; process data with several tools)

=handson

present overview of filled in data.

System

Implications/limitations

It would be most preferable to have the data of old members retro-actively added into this system so that there is a concise way to find all data about all members when required.
