What is a mail list?
A mail list is like a "Yahoo Group"--you sign
up to the mail list and then you will receive emails
from anyone posting to that list. This is how meeting
reminders, cancellations and changes get sent out, so
being on the list will ensure you are up to date. But
if you reply to a meeting announcement, all people on
the mail list will get a copy of that message. If you
only want the roundtable coordinator to get your message,
see the answer below.
What kind of things should be posted?
Basically anything that directly pertains to the roundtable
you belong to. There is a list of rules above.
Please read them.
Where is the User Guide?
See Additional Resources, above.
Who should I contact if I have questions?
Do NOT contact the roundtable coordinator. They have enough to do.
Send an email to
. The current volunteer behind that address will help you.
How do I change my email address?
This is very easy if you know your password. Here is
the complete procedure (it looks harder than it is):
- Go to your roundtables Information Site. (see list
below)
- Enter your OLD email address under "Change
My Settings"
- Press "Subscribe or Edit Options".
- On the next screen, enter your password and press
"Login". If you do not remember/know your
password press the "Remind" button at the
bottom of that screen. Your password will be sent
to the address you are trying to change.
- On the information screen go to the "Change
e-Mail Address" section and type in your new
email (twice) and press the "Change My Address
and Name" button. You will get a confirmation
email back that you need to acknowledge.
- If you do not remember your password or cannot get
to your old email account, please send an email,
and the mail list administrator will help you. (Please
tell them your new AND old address.)
If I just want
to send a note to the current roundtable coordinator
or their delegate, where do I send the note?
Each round table has an address for posting messages. For instance
the North (Vancouver) address is pmiportlandbreakfastnorth@listsvcs.pmi-portland.org.
To send to the "owners" of the list add "-owner"
before the "at sign", as in this example:
pmiportlandbreakfastnorth-owner@listsvcs.pmi-portland.org.
I only want to see Meeting Minutes
and Announcements?
The User Guide explains how to change your settings
to do this. Basically you change your options to only
get Meeting Topics.
I do not remember my password?
When you enter your email address to access the Edit
Options screen you have an option to have your password
sent to you.
I do not remember what email address I used?
Send a note to
telling them your name and the roundtable you are signed up for.
Is my address private?
For the most part. There is no guarantee that the address
will not be exposed. The system is set up by default
to hide the list (you can change your settings to override
that). When you send a message it can be seen.
Gee, this sounds like fun, how can I help?
Send a note to
