Joel; perhaps so, but the question remains
how many people have legitimate access to the club email address? Are you intending that the club email address has "ownership" of the Group? If so then anyone with legitimate access to that address will be able to change settings at will without leaving a clear audit trail in the activity log;
yes, changes will be logged but there will be no way of determining
who was responsible.
The existence of a board and trustees is a bit of a side issue because their existence does not preclude the possibility of mischievous interference by others who are able to access the Group via a common address. The ability to change group settings has to be granted to as few people as are necessary to ensure the smooth working of the group. I'm far from convinced that have "the club address" (your words) usable as a log - in at the Owner level is a good idea; IMHO it leaves your group open to interference without actually achieving anything substantive.
It is also far better if those who can legitimately change settings, i.e. "manage" the group, can log in from different email addresses - if that is not the case then any trouble with the "single" email address could compromise the group completely.
