List Serve Use Policy
Download a PDF VersionIt is the mission of the NSGIC Communications Committee "to promote the timely and effective collection and dissemination of information of importance to the NSGIC membership, Directors and Officers, sponsors, and partners, in support of NSGIC organizational goals and policies." To accomplish this mission, NSGIC has developed several communications channels, including email list serves, a website, and a presence in social networking sites (Face Book, Twitter and Linked-In).
The NSGIC Board of Directors supports the use of the email listserv(s) to collect and disseminate information that is relevant and timely for our members. These list serves include the Board list serve, the Caucus list serve, and the Member list serve. In the past, the use of our list serves has been self-policed by the membership, and content has been professional and appropriate. This policy formalizes NSGIC’s expectations and practices surrounding its email communication medium.
Postings to the NSGIC list serves should:
(A) Be clear and concise;
(B) Support the goals and policies of our organization; and
(C) Be professional, courteous, and relevant to our membership.
Posters of questions are asked to summarize results and post them to the list for other list members who should refrain from using the ‘Reply to All’ function when responding to the original question.
The NSGIC Board of Directors does not condone the use of its communications media and email lists for the advancement of private enterprise, where the value of the NSGIC list serve(s) and their members are leveraged for non-NSGIC benefit. If the use of our list serve(s) is abused by any member or member organization, their access to the list serve may be restricted or revoked.
With that understanding the Board of Directors approves the following uses of the email list serves;
(A) All NSGIC-related business as determined by the staff, Officers and Directors;
(B) Voluntary on-line survey requests that are directed toward NSGIC and its primary public sector constituents of "states, commonwealths, territories, protectorates, tribal affiliations, and similarly recognized civil jurisdictions”;
(C) Job announcements and recruitment of potential employees for public sector organizations represented by the membership;
(D) Requests by members to obtain focused and timely information from their peers to assist their own efforts; and
(E) The distribution of news and educational materials that are relevant to the geospatial community.
The NSGIC Board of Directors feels that more appropriate resources exist in other venues to advertise geospatial career opportunities in the private sector and to promote products for business purposes.
Approved by the Board of Directors on January 30, 2012
