Member warns Town to host QR codes after provider shutdown example

Task Force member Denise Pouliot cautioned that QR codes can fail when third-party providers discontinue service. She described an augmented-reality project whose QR destination became nonfunctional after the original provider's account was closed and recommended that the town generate and retain control of QR-code destinations to preserve longevity.

"She recommended that the town generate and control its own QR codes to ensure longevity and avoid dependency on third-party providers," the minutes record. Chair Carey said the graphic designer can generate QR codes but needs definitive destination URLs from contributors to avoid future link rot.
