Information Technology Committee Charter: Provide technology assistance for new technology initiatives and projects.

Migrating emails from WBCCI.net to Airstreamclub.org

Background:

• In 2021 Google notified its “legacy” accounts (including us) that the free and unlimited accounts would expire, replaced by paid accounts. At the time WBCCI maintained well over 300 individual accounts, most unused.
• After investigation of pricing, features and management, the Information Technology Committee recommended switching all accounts to Office 365, effective asap.

Timing:

• Once notified, Regions and Local Clubs will have 90 days to forward and migrate their accounts.  
• After 90 days, the WBCCI.net and airstreamclub.net emails will go away.

Next Steps:

1. After receipt of your notification from HQ, respond within two weeks with your email needs (free + paid).
2. Access your new airstreamclub.org email once notified.
3. Begin to forward your emails: Forwarding from wbcci.net emails.
4. Notify necessary contacts that your email will be changing.
5. Review your published material (emails, newsletters, websites) and change the listed emails as necessary.
6. Begin to use your new email!
