<div dir="ltr">Hi folks, <br>I'm sorry to send this out to so many of you, but I'm trying to sort out the 120 LTER mailman lists. Many of them were clearly useful once, but may no longer be and the transition to the NCO offers a sensible time to clean house.<br><br>I'd like to identify which lists are no longer being used and also identify a responsible individual for those that are being used -- and I need your help.<br><br>I've created a spreadsheet with all the current mailman lists here: <br><br><b><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1trT5hHGR97NpBvQH1fd2VrUlJ7RhiS1gHJBrzeKWkMQ/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1trT5hHGR97NpBvQH1fd2VrUlJ7RhiS1gHJBrzeKWkMQ/edit?usp=sharing</a></b><br><br>If you are responsible for a site or a committee that might have a list in the system (even if you currently use some other way of managing that list, such as a google group or contact list in your own e-mail), please enter your name next to that list and enter the alternative system you use in the last column.<br><br>Network-wide lists are at the top of the sheet. Lists that appear to be site-specific are farther down.<br><br>After your name and e-mail address, fill in as much additional information about the list as you can, specifically:<br><ul><li>Description of list membership<br>I'm looking for a general understanding here not a list, so, for <a href="mailto:IM-rep@lists.lternet.edu">IM-rep@lists.lternet.edu</a>, one designated information manager from each site, but for some ad hoc lists: people who signed up following X workshop on Y topic at the 2012 ASM.</li><li>Is the list moderated?<br>Does a list owner have to approve messages? <br></li><li>Is the list actively used? <br></li><li>Last updated? <br>To your knowledge -- when was the last time new members were added or old members removed?</li><li>Is there an alternative list?<br>Do you use some other way of getting in touch with members?
