<tr>
<td>James Shields</td>
<td>Just something I was thinking about during the week, that may already be in our requirements... or may be post v1.0.Have we considered the case of someone registering multiple members on the platform?Can I sign up as a member, and register other people at the same time? (e.g. I'm signing for a local Drupal group, and I want to sign up some of my employees, or I'm signing up for a resident's association, and I want to register other members of my household).Will we have a mechanism for other people I sign up to log in?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>jdleonard</td>
<td>@James Shields Interesting. I wonder whether this would be cleanest with an “invitation” mechanism?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>James Shields</td>
<td>That's certainly a possibility. I think it depends on the type of organisation.In a Drupal group, you'd probably expect people to login to activate their membership. If there was a membership fee, the company might pay for their employees, so the owner might pay for 10 members, but then the members would need to fill in their individual details. So the invite format might work well there.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>James Shields</td>
<td>But for a residents' association, I might register family members in my household, like my elderly mother, who might want to be part of the association, but would never log in themself.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>jdleonard</td>
<td>Yes, you’re right. This is something my neighborhood association <a href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/d503d43f-2f4a-4507-a9ff-eac78554ce3f?city=Austin&postalCode=78704">does today</a>, albeit with difficulty.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>James Shields</td>
<td>I think it's something we could provide limited options for in an initial release, but should plan for maximum flexibility in the long run.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cellear</td>
<td>I'd like to see us put something (more) in <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/member">our Drupal project space.</a> At this point, probably documentation - perhaps distilling some of the conclusions we've reached in the issue queues?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>jdleonard</td>
<td>I’m focused on CRM adoption stuff so I’ll encourage anyone interested to create a new thread for any topics they want.</td>

<table>
<tr>
<td>jdleonard</td>
<td>Based on all discussions to date, including our peppering @Steven Ayers with questions on last week’s Zoom call, I propose that we:Publicly declare that Member Platform is adopting and contributing to CRMFocus our short-term efforts on specific next steps to make that a realityBuild a community around the CRM project as we are doing for Member Platform so that CRM gets the attention it deserves, benefits from more contributors and use cases, and stands a better chance of thriving long-termJoin #crm and participate in conversations more generally applicable to CRM there.Lay out additional next steps here.</td>

<tr>
<td>jdleonard</td>
<td>Momentarily I’ll create an issue in CRM’s issue queue to re-use existing fields rather than use completely custom logic for storing email, phone, and address data.</td>
