Does PairNic offer mail forwarding of any sort? If so, you could set up blog@nextny.org and create a technorati account under that "name" (is there any email ability for nextny.org? it could even just be an alias).

On technorati create a 'nextny' or 'nextnydigital' account, specify blog@nextny.org as the email address, log into the account temporarily to generate the claim code and then log out, should be the last time you need to log in as nextny.

Well, then NYBlog should have its own account with technorati and claim through that and not by the individual authors per se!

The "account per blog vs. per user" solution is sub-optimal too.

For those participating in multiple blogs, it becomes hard to keep track of everything.

Ideally, Technorati would support this natively as it's becoming more and more common.
