We now have a listserv email discussion group up and running to allow us to continue the discussions many of us began earlier this month, and to begin to share thoughts, ideas and announcements of interest to the group. If you did not attend an "urban agenda" meeting and would like a copy of the meeting minutes and list of participants, please email me directly at sarena@u.washington.edu. To post messages to the listserv, send your message to ccp@u.washington.edu. Your posting will automatically be distributed to all listserv subscribers. If at any point you decide not to subscribe, please let me know and I'll remove your email address from the subscriber list. How we use this list is entirely up to us. If you have suggestions for how to maximize this form of communication, please make them known. For example, I've been on listservs where a different thought-provoking question is tossed out for group discussion every week. I've also been on listservs where not much discussion takes place but people share announcements about upcoming conferences, recommended publications, etc. I personally like the substantive discussion idea, given the fact that we began such good ones in person. What do you think? A few words of caution, especially for those of you who may not be familiar with listservs. Please use your discretion and good judgment when deciding what messages to post. The following sorts of messages are not appropriate to post to the listserv: *a message that is personal in nature *a message intended for a particular person or persons (not the whole group) *a response to someone else's posting that is intended to go to that person only (this is a particularly common faux pas among listservs. In other words, Person A asks if anyone has the date and location of an upcoming meeting. Rather than sending a response ONLY to Person A, Person B posts it to the entire listserv. This can unnecessarily clutter subscriber mailboxes, and can lead to people unsubscribing from the listserv due to frustration). If you have any questions about what the appropriateness of a posting, please feel free to ask me about it. Hope to hear from you soon on the listserv!
