Who decides whether a general listserve is “open,” “closed” or “open but moderated”?
Section Leadership reserves the right to decide whether a listserve is to be open, closed or open but moderated. Each committee’s leadership is empowered to make recommendations as to the status of a listserve. In making these recommendations, committee leaders are encouraged to be mindful that historically, committees have derived value from non-member participation in their listserve. Further, there may be a clear recruitment benefit in maintaining open listserves.
