Actors Biogs

There is obvious enthusiasm and need for an Actors Biog service.

Given the valid points made by both Craig and Kimberley.

My suggestions would be that:

1. A fee, say $10.00? should be paid for the service

2. It should be a secure page, accessible to members only, by password - perhaps the retyping of their current password. This would alleviate personal security concerns.

3. Individual details could only be changed by the actor concerned, using a password issued to them.

There is much to be said for leaving out phone numbers and utilising e-mail addresses, however it's very much a personal choice and if anyone leaves an e-mail address posted that's no longer valid, well, so is their attitude.

My technical knowledge of programming is neanderthal, consequently I don't know what sort of work is required to maintain and accept each biog. If it's expensive, then it may be a situation where the ITA committee could approach the State government via Sheila McHale's ministry, on the basis that it's a much needed service to the arts community and would help prevent people being caught in dubious agent schemes.
