Current behavior:
Each member record is required to have a unique
email. Email is as a unique record identifier, for example to login and
used for event registrations to determine applicable price.
Desired behavior:
Some organizations have members who do not have/use emails. So it is desirable that email field should not be mandatory.
Workaround:
Using
a 'fake' email address for such records, e.g. John.Smith@noemail.none
and setting the option not to send any emails to this member.
Notes:
Our
current thinking is to make MemberID field to be the main
unique identifier. Ideally we should do it so that people can login
with either email or MemberID (for backward compatibility).
