ASC lists

Posted on by

Dear all,

We used to have a couple of informal guidelines on using the ASC lists.

One of them was

“Please don’t post the same document to both lists.”

I’m not involved in running the lists but I wondered if we could agree as users to follow this guideline.

I think, and feel free to disagree, that

* ASC Media is for media releases and media alerts.

* ASC List is for discussion, communicators events, jobs, invites and everything else except media releases and alerts.

That way people can decide what mix of information they want to get from the ASC lists.

Does this work for you?

  1. “Used to” is probably the significant part in that. Older members (or should I say those who have been members for a longer period) will remember these guidelines, but newer members may not even be aware of them.

    It is probably something that we could encapsulate and send out a few times each year; especially shortly after September 1, since that is now the standardised membership renewal date.

    I would add to those points below, the need to place state/territory initials at the start of any event that is confined to a state or territory (That would not apply to matters/events of national interest). Rob
