Introduction
The Newport Hills Community Club web site is published under the
direction of the Board of Directors to keep the community informed of
news, events and other items of interest which are relevant to the
community and its membership. It communicates club and board activities
and also provides alerts to interested community members via various
email lists.
DreamHost maintains the host server
and NetworkSolutions holds
the domain name license. The Newport Hills Community Club pays fees
for these services from the general fund.
(2) Editorial and Content Policies
The board has responsibility for the content of the web site. The webmaster
has responsibility for operation and design of the web site and for
publishing the approved content. The webmaster shall be appointed by the
club president, subject to approval by the board. Only the webmaster
and his/her backup is authorized to make changes to the NHCC web site.
Contact the webmaster at
webmaster@newporthillscommunityclub.org .
The content of the newsletter (also referred to as the "Newport Hills
Community Club Newsletter"), will be converted to electronic form (currently
PDF format) and linked on the web site. The webmaster will work with the
newsletter editor to accomplish this. Newsletters will remain archived on
the site.
The home page of the web site will announce the particulars of the next
community meeting.
A listing of the club officers and trustees will be on the web site.
The text of the club's bylaws and policies will be on the web site.
The web site will not "take a position" on any issue unless the
membership, via the means set down in the bylaws, has taken such a position.
The webmaster shall strive for a neutral position in presenting both news
and the opinions of others. The webmaster shall not offer personal opinions
on submitted material. Invited contributions may be published in the
newsletter.
Feedback from club members will be encouraged to improve the accuracy,
quality and usefulness of the site.
The newsletter will publish the URL address of the web site in each issue.
(3) Advertising Policies
Until a web site advertising policy is developed by the board,
advertisements will not be permitted on the web site. Advertisements
published in the newsletter will only be found in the PDF format linked and
archived on the web site.
(4) E-mail Policies
In order to protect against unsolicited e-mail, e-mail addresses of club
members will not be published on the site without permission of their
owners. Officers, trustees, appointees and committee members will receive
generic addresses at newporthillscommunityclub.org (such as
president@newporthillscommunityclub.org,
webmaster@newporthillscommunityclub.org, etc.) that will forward in turn to
their respective e-mail accounts. As the e-mail addresses of the persons
holding these positions change over time, so will the forwarding addresses.
These generic addresses will be published on the web site.
(5) Mailing List Policies
The webmaster shall create a system for creating and managing e-mail
distribution lists (also known as mailing lists) for announcements.
Membership in any mailing list is always voluntary; every list member will
have the option of being removed from a list at any time. The creator of the
list (the webmaster) will be the initial administrator of the list, though
this responsibility may be passed to another Board Trustee.
(6) Privacy Policies
This web site does not automatically gather any personal information from
you, such as your name, phone number, email or address. This information is
only obtained if you supply it voluntarily through contacting us via email
or online forms. The information you voluntarily provide to the Newport
Hills Community Club web site or to the various club related email addresses
will be used only for the purpose that you have requested and subject to the
law. The information you provide to this site email addresses will be
disclosed to members of the NHCC Board of Directors should a need arise.
NHCC will not sell, lease or otherwise distribute or disclose a club
members name, e-mail address, postal address, telephone number, or other
personal information for non-club purposes or to outside parties unless
required by law.
