And, as was stated, better payment modalities are being explored. That's the TL;DR.
Full Explanation: An association management vendor RFP is about to kick off, led by Sylvie. One of the key attributes of such an organization is the ability to offer a multi-tenant membership management system - a database combined with hooks into their accounting system as well as the ability to accept payment via various methods including their own merchant accounts for credit card transactions. Paypal is most definitely a sub-optimal method and is only being used currently due to expediency. Its an open question whether we'll have a system to accept credit card swipes at future meetings for membership (as opposed to registration - its important to keep the funds discrete based on source). The NewNOG (soon to be NANOG) systems are still a work in progress. As we put enhanced financial controls into place, the payment systems will evolve.The likely resolution horizon is six months for a fully acceptable and compliant rev.1 solution (realistically, not moonbeams). Things will likely iterate from there. - Dan On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 8:56 AM, Duane Wessels <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> should the check be payable to "NewNOG, inc"? >> > > Yes, that's correct.
