Michigan Commission for the Blind Vision 2020 Listserv 



Purpose Statement and Participant Guidelines

(Note:  This informational message will be sent to all members of the listserv each month.)



The purpose of this listserv is to provide an interactive forum for people who are blind or visually impaired, rehabilitation professionals, and others interested in issues related to blindness to share useful information, insights, and issues, and to have respectful and productive conversations about these topics.  Our goal is to provide a means for constructive communication for list members to benefit from each other's knowledge, information, and insights. 



Please refrain from sending off-topic posts.



Please refrain from posting anything related to pending litigation involving the Michigan Commission for the Blind.



Please remain respectful of others' opinions at all times.



While thoughtful, informed discussion and even thoughtful disagreement is encouraged, bullying will not be tolerated.



Please include your first and last name in your postings.  This courtesy will be helpful to all listerv users and facilitate more effective communications.



We are seeking to have informed and thoughtful discussions and, as such, please include specific information about the topic (ideally, a link), not just a general reference to "the education bill" or "the newspaper article."



Please take private discussions or off-topic conversations off-list.  In other words, send such messages to the individual directly, rather than to the entire list.  As stated above, bullying will not be tolerated and a participant may receive a warning, have his/her posts moderated, or, as a last resort, be removed from the list.



The MCB Vision 2020 Listserv has been a useful communication tool, providing opportunities for interesting dialogue on numerous issues affecting individuals who are blind.  Your continued participation is encouraged, welcomed, and appreciated.  Any questions regarding the use of this listserv may be addressed to Susan Turney at 517-241-8631 or turneys at michigan.gov.
