[NFB-Announce] Change in List Purpose

[David Andrews]

Dear Subscribers to the NFB-Announce List:

As some of you know, this list has been around for quite some time. 
For whatever reason, it has never been widely used. Consequently, we 
are going to slightly modify the purpose of this list. The name will 
remain the same, and your subscription will not be changed. You are 
of course free to subscribe at any time -- see the end of the message.



As you know, things have changed for all of us in the past two months 
or so. As a response, many NFB affiliates, divisions, and chapters 
have responded positively with a wide variety of Zoom meetings, 
webinars, trainings etc. This change has resulted in a large number 
of posts to our NFBNET-Members-List. In order to manage that traffic, 
we have changed our procedure so that all such announcements must go 
through a Central Point. They are then gathered together, and one or 
two posts per week will be made to the Members list.

We understand that things may change, additional opportunities may 
occur, people may wish to post reminders etc. Consequently, we will 
be using the NFB-Announce list for this purpose.

The list will be moderated, that is all messages will be held until 
they are approved. However, we will be as lenient as possible with 
this approval, to give people an outlet to make a wide variety of 
event-related announcements in this difficult time.  The list, 
however, will not be used for discussion -- just announcements. That 
is the purpose of moderating the list.

At the end of this message is a "personal options" link for you. You 
can unsubscribe or do other things from this link.

Thanks, and if you have any questions, you can write me at 
david.andrews at nfbnet.org

David Andrews, List Owner
