<p>Because I am IT Chairman of Agile New England and handle all
their IT, I've been researching password managers that are
designed for teams. I think that's a much better solution than
yet another geographically locked solution that will only be
accessible by 1 or 2 people with physical keys. <br>

<p>Back to the start of the thread, we kinda dropped organizing this
meeting, which I think should happen. Even if we pick late
January I think we should pick that date in the next week or two
so it actually happens.<br>

I've been using <a href="http://prgmr.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">prgmr.com</a> for years, and I recommend them. My
yearly server rental is about $120, but you'll probably want more
bandwidth for a BLU server.

<p>I think everyone in the leadership should write out a list of
applicable user id's and passwords, and put them in a
safe-deposit box or fire safe that two or three people can
access: if blu decides on a more formal arrangement, lawyers
will store them for a nominal fee. As a practical matter, almost
all Domain Name services like GoDaddy can change a domain's
details with only a User ID and password, so there's little need
to incorporate just as a placeholder for a domain name:
incorporation is expensive, and it requires yearly reports and
tax filings, so I'd avoid it if it were up to me. <br>

<p>I don't feel that paying for SSL certificates is in the BLU's
best interest: all they do is close the "lock" icon on the
browsers that access the site. I know that browser designers
shill for the X.509 industry, by putting "insecure" warnings on
http-only sites, but I think there are still some free SSL certs
available if the BLU decides it's essential.<br>
</p>
<p>That's my 2¢. YMMV.</p>
