[NAGDU] The NAGDU discussion list is moving to Google Groups

Mon May 5 20:56:00 UTC 2025

Hello Diane, I am not Steve, but I hope I can answer your question nonetheless. You absolutely do not have to go to Gmail or Google to participate in a Google Group discussion. If you subscribe the email method I described in the below message that I wrote last night, it will work. Simply send an email to discuss+subscribe at nagdu.org <mailto:discuss+subscribe at nagdu.org>  and respond to the email confirmation you receive. Once you are added to the list, you can email the group by sending emails to discuss at nagdu.org <mailto:discuss at nagdu.org> .

I hope this helps.

Hi Steve –

I am really sorry to ask you the questions I’m going to ask you because I’m sure they’re very very ignorant, but I’m ignorant. You said in the email when switching from the current email list to the new Google Docs list that you need to be signed into a Gmail account. I have a Gmail address. I think I must have a Gmail account. Does this mean I need to Open up Gmail every time I want to look for an email from Nagdu? Reason I’m asking is I get my mail on my iPhone? I don’t go to the Gmail website.

Thank you for responding to my clearly uneducated question but I look forward to becoming educated!

Have a great day!

Diane

Hello everyone, please share this wherever appropriate. The NAGDU discussion list is moving. As we have mentioned before during our national business meeting at last year's national convention, we have been making plans to move the NAGDU discussion list over to Google Groups. We have already partially done this with the NAGDU Announce list, which we started a few months back. That list is for people who want to stay informed about NAGDU news and events but do not want to participate in a discussion list. So far, the announcement list has been a success. Now, we are ready to move the discussion list over.

This means that you will need to unsubscribe yourself from the nagdu at nfbnet.org <mailto:nagdu at nfbnet.org>  list and subscribe to the new list, which is discuss at nagdu.org <mailto:discuss at nagdu.org> . Following is the information you will need to move to the new list.

1. Unsubscribe from the current NAGDU discussion list on nfbnet.org. You can do this by sending an email to nagdu-unsubscribe at nfbnet.org <mailto:nagdu-unsubscribe at nfbnet.org>  and following the instructions that are emailed to you. You can also unsubscribe by visiting the link, https://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org and unsubscribing yourself from the web interface.

2. Subscribe to the new NAGDU discussion list on Google Groups. You can do this by sending an email to discuss+subscribe at nagdu.org <mailto:discuss+subscribe at nagdu.org>  and following the instructions that are emailed to you. You can also subscribe by visiting the link, https://groups.google.com/a/nagdu.org/g/discuss/ and choosing the join list button from the web interface. Please note that using the web interface usually requires that you be signed into a Google account.

Once you are subscribed to the new discussion list, you can send emails to discuss at nagdu.org <mailto:discuss at nagdu.org> , and your email will reach everyone who is subscribed to the list. If you have any questions, please email discuss-owner at nagdu.org <mailto:discuss-owner at nagdu.org>  to reach the list moderators, Steve Cook and Shannon Cook. We are hoping to shut down the old list by May 15 to avoid duplicate list traffic and discussions.

Please remember, NAGDU also hosts an announcement list. This list is solely for NAGDU and related announcements. To subscribe to the announcement list, send an email to announce+subscribe at nagdu.org <mailto:announce+subscribe at nagdu.org> , and follow the instructions sent to your email. You can also visit the Announcements Group List page at https://groups.google.com/a/nagdu.org/g/announce/.

Thank you.
