NEW REGULATIONS IN PLACE FOR LISTSERV - In an effort to improve the way in which the TMAC listserv is used and increase the number of members who participate, the TMAC board has developed a set of rules that is in keeping with those of other listservs and organizations.

The TMAC listserv serves as an open forum for sharing pertinent information about writing and travel, engaging in discussions and seeking advice. Subscribers can, for example, provide news about members, updated contact information, or information about new books, special writing or film projects underway, awards or recognitions and professional development opportunities.

If members have concerns about TMAC matters, they should direct them to their chapter chair to be addressed, rather than to the listserv. In absence of a chapter chair, members may direct their concerns to the TMAC national president.

Professional decorum is mandated at all times. The moderator will issue a warning to a member who violates a rule. Continuing to violate these rules after a warning is grounds for suspension from the listserv. Any member whose access is suspended will be required to reapply to the moderator to regain listserv privileges.

Listserv rules include the following:

1. Members may not forward listserv messages to an outside forum or publication without the permission of the message's author.

2. No ad hominem attacks, slurs on character, libellous comments or other impoliteness will be tolerated. Anyone who posts material that denigrates a person or his/her views will be subject to a warning.

3. Use a clear subject line for every message. If a discussion thread shifts, change the subject line to reflect the current topic.

4. When replying to a message, only quote the relevant portions of the message.

5. Please remember that hitting "reply" sends messages to the listserv. If the message is of a personal nature, please type the recipient's e-mail address in the "send" line of your e-mail.

The listserv moderator's role is to offer technical support to subscribers and ensure the rules are followed. Moderator Glenn Cameron (glenn@clearcommunications.ca) has graciously offered to stay on in that role.
