PERC Listserv Usage Policy

Respect for All Participants
It is expected that list members will respect the views of others on the list in all online conversations, regardless of how different the others’ views are from their own.
  • Expressing opposing points of view can be done with consideration for the feelings of others. If you are upset and want to respond to a controversial posting, a good suggestion is to wait a day before sending your response.
  • Use of profanity or derogatory comments is not appropriate. Lively and candid exchanges are encouraged; however, subscribers agree that they have read and will comply with the following rules and guidelines.

Postings: Specific Types of Posts

Working Teams

PERC’s working teams are encouraged to use the LISTSERV to further the stated goals of their particular team.

Discussions

Discussions around topics related to PERC's mission are encouraged.

Requests for information

Users may use the LISTSERV to solicit information from other schools relevant to particular kinds of sustainability projects. PLEASE ASK RESPONDENTS to RESPOND DIRECTLY TO YOU and not the entire list. As you receive responses to your query, collect them for two or three days, and then forward all the responses received in one email to the entire listserv. To facilitate the process, please include your email address in the body text of your request.

Events

Announcement of events at higher education institutions that relate to environmental work or sustainability ARE appropriate. Events not held at higher education institutions should be directly relevant to the mission of PERC.

Webinars

Webinars announced on this
LISTSERV should be directly relevant to the mission of PERC.

Jobs

The publicizing of job announcements via the LISTSERV is appropriate.

Commercial

Posting of communications whose primary intent is to sell a service or product is strongly discouraged. Posting that are primarily educational or informational that include references to commercial products or services are welcome.

Political Content
Use of this
LISTSERV

for any communication that could be construed in any way as support for or opposition to any candidate for a federal, state or local public office is prohibited.

Chain letters
Posting chain letters IS NOT appropriate. This refers to any type of chain letter, whether it is a money-making letter, a petition, or a "feel good" letter.

Personal messages
It IS NOT appropriate to post to the entire list a message of a personal nature intended for one person. Simply send such a message to the person him- or herself.


Postings: General

Subject lines
To help other members screen messages that may be on topics of interest to them, use a short phrase in your subject line that describes the topic or topics included in your message.
Short responses
In general, PERC discourages the sending of one-line responses or other responses that do not add substantively to the discussion.
Long responses
If you are responding to a long message, it is best to cut out those parts of that message that are not relevant to your response.
Signatures
It is helpful and courteous to "sign" your message or to include your signature with every message.
