Draft Policy for MCRRC Social Networking Sites

This policy will guide the content and usage of MCRRC-sponsored social networking sites including but not limited to Yahoo! Groups, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter (herein referred to collectively as “social sites”).

  1. The purpose of MCRRC’s participation in such social sites is to provide both club and non-club members with additional means by which to receive news and alerts in addition to the information available on the official club website.
  2. Each social site will have at least two Managers at all times- the Club Administrator and a club member to be recommended by the Communications Committee and approved by the Board.  The Management of the social sites will be reviewed annually at the start of the new Board term.  Interim changes will be recommended by the discretion of the Communications Committee and approved by the Board.
  3. The Managers will maintain a list of all official accounts and passwords, as required to administer the social sites.  These accounts and passwords will not be shared without the express permission of the Board.  These accounts will be the only accounts that may bear the MCRRC name and/or logo.
  4. The Managers will review the social sites on a regular basis to update announcements, remove inappropriate posts, approve new members and perform administrative duties where necessary.
  5. During the term of Manager, Managers will keep well maintained written records of accounts and passwords as deemed appropriate in Item #3 above as well as logs of administrative changes that have taken place on the social sites and any other information necessary to ensure a smooth transition to future Managers.  This also includes the backup of any and all membership lists and information as appropriate.
  6. Should Race Directors or other members wish to use the social sites to convey specific information about club races, they should send this information to the Club Administrator at office@mcrrc.org.
  7. Membership to some MCRRC social sites, excluding Yahoo! Groups, is not limited to club members; however, MCRRC social sites may not be used to publicize non-MCRRC events by any user.  The Managers reserve the right to deny or terminate membership of any user for such misuse.
  8. The Managers reserve the right to remove inappropriate posts or posts containing non-MCRRC related content without notice of its intent to do so.
  9. MCRRC will not sell, use or otherwise retransmit personal information collected on users its social sites.  However, MCRRC will not be responsible for misuse of personal information by the social sites themselves or information gathered by other users of the social sites.  All users must agree to and abide by the terms and conditions put forth by the individual social sites and agree to not hold MCRRC responsible for any misuse of information.
