FAQs
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 .
