Biographical information on the candidates and qualifications for the DCE leadership position will be available when the ballot is completed. Check www.DCE.org periodically for an update.
If you wish to have the Digest option (receiving all the posting for a given day in one
e-mail instead of several), you will need to sign up for that by sending a blank e-mail to DCE-switch@mail-list.com.
Why: Our old listserv provider changed the rules and last November started requiring us to individually pre-approve each message. This was extra work for volunteers and caused a delay in posting of the messages. So now we have moved to a new company that does not require this. The Electronics Communication committee will continue to monitor the listserv but not hold up every message prior to being posted.
New features include
- easy to manage archives, searchable, grouped into threads
(For those who start their postings “I know this has been discussed in the past…”, the archives are the place to go.)
- attachments automatically converted into a link so no more being filtered
out and landing in the trash,
- a simple link to send an email to switch to/from the digest version
- a simple link to send an email to put your account on hold or vacation
http://www.dce.org/members/resources/listserv.asp and sign in as a member. You will then be taken to the listserv page.
With the move to the new listserv provider, the Listserv page on the website has been updated, too. Here you will find:
- How to join – link to a simple form
- How to post
- How to access the archives including the password needed to log on
- How to modify your subscription
- change to digest form,
- put your account on hold or on vacation
- change email address
- add a 2nd “post only” email address
- change to digest form,
- Listserv etiquette
- Who to contact for questions.
To get to the listserv without the direct link, go to DCE.org, click on the Member Home box in the upper right corner, sign in as a member and click on the ListServ link above the Search box.
