Our Email List Guidelines

The BCGP Email List is a non-automated moderated list.
It is for news and announcements related to the BCGP.
The list manager will decide whether or not to forward submitted items.
The list manager will decide whether to seek input from Steering Committee Members before deciding if a news item or announcement is appropriate for the list.
The Steering Committee will approve up to two opinion pieces or commentaries per month to be forwarded to the list.
Commentaries may be submitted by any member of BCGP for Steering Committee consideration.
List manager will continue working with those who submit messages to see that their messages go out in a timely manner.
Messages should be submitted at least 24 hours before you want them to be forwarded to the list.
Much more than 24 hours notice is better for insuring that your message will be forwarded with good timing, or at all.
Messages should be in Plain Text format, not HTML (or Rich Text). Do not use stationeries, backgrounds, pictures, sounds, etc.
Messages should be ready for forwarding when sent to the list manager.
List manager won't forward messages that are, in his/her opinion, messy. This includes awkward line lengths, "greater than" or "less than" symbols at the beginning of each line (except for quotes), superfluous symbols, etc.
List manager will not clean up messages.
List manager will not compose messages.
List manager will not forward chain letters. Email petitions are chain letters.
File attachments are to be avoided. They will be forwarded only if they are very small, and only such things as maps (for directions) will be considered. Written directions within the message are preferable to maps.
