InCommon has changed the names of several email lists in an effort to simplify list names and clarify their purposes.
Those already subscribed to these lists need to nothing - they have been subscribed to the new lists names. The old addresses will work for the time being, but users should begin using the new, shorter versions, and update their address books and adjust their filters.
A list of the old and new names of the affected lists are included here:
Old Name |
New Name |
incommon-announce@incommon.org |
announce@incommon.org |
incommon-participants@incommon.org |
participants@incommon.org |
inc-exec@incommon.org |
exec@incommon.org |
incommon-site-administrators@incommon.org |
site-admin@incommon.org |
incommon-steering@incommon.org |
steering@incommon.org |
inc-exec-subcom@incommon.org |
steeringexec@incommon.org |
incommon-nom@incommon.org |
nominations@incommon.org |
incommon-admin@incommon.org |
admin@incommon.org |
incommon-info@incommon.org |
info@incommon.org |
The changes that will affect most InCommon participants are the participants and announce lists. The participants list (participants@incommon.org) is a discussion list, while announce@incommon.org is a place for InCommon to distribute news about the affiliate program, assurance program, certificate service, monthly newsletters, and other information.
To subscribe to any InCommon list, send email to sympa@incommon.org. In the subject line of the email, include a command with this format: subscribe LISTNAME (note that some of these lists are restricted).
