Overview¶

Purpose¶

This portal is a shared home for the work of the Digital Technologies Management Committee. It offers a practical and thoughtful framework shaped by the way Cafh lives its digital work today:

• Most infrastructure work sits with outside providers
• A few technical members hold direct access to DigitalOcean
• The main website has a public area and a member area
• Some internal tools support record keeping
• A small member data set lives in a database

Policy areas¶

Each section addresses one part of the same operating model. Together they give the committee a shared language for ownership, access, vendors, incidents, data, public channels, and the safe use of AI.

• Governance: committee mandate, approvals, records, and review rhythm.
• Vendor Management: work with website, hosting, and internal app providers.
• Accounts and Access: passwords, password manager rules, and DigitalOcean access.
• Incident and Support: issue reporting, escalation, and vendor support flow.
• Acceptable Use: daily use rules for systems, accounts, and member content.
• Data Protection: handling rules for member data and service providers.
• Brand and Channels: websites, social media, logo use, and public voice.
• Safe Use of AI: translation, summaries, drafting, and human review rules.

Mission alignment¶

The mission gives digital work its measure. Technology should support service, responsibility, and care for people. The original mission statement in Spanish stays on the home page.

Working style¶

The portal is meant to support steady volunteer work with clarity and calm. It should help members care for digital tasks with method, without turning digital management into a full time burden.

• Review every request through the committee.
• Record owners, vendors, systems, and review dates.
• Protect the member area, the member database, and the public image of Cafh.
