The email account,  vcvmanager@gmail.com  receives the invoices for the use of the VCV website, messages from IONOS (the website provider) and external queries. If no VCV member has opened this email account for about two months, important messages might have been missed, and Google automatically notifies several people via email and possibly SMS text messages. 

Google's Inactive Account Manager notifies the following trusted people, who will then receive access to some data:

• Chairman (Adrian B), Recruitment Officer (Sue T),and Treasurer (Nigel M)
• Email account & website administrators (Judith, Steve)
