Owner Responsibilities / Policies



All Mailman lists must have at least one primary owner who is a current UWC-UWEX student, faculty, staff, or affiliate. Additional secondary owners do not have to be affiliated with UWC-UWEX.

Any list without a current UWC-UWEX student, faculty, or staff owner may be discontinued. Sufficient warning will be given to list owners before the list is discontinued.

The primary list owner is responsible for configuration, maintenance, and operation of the list. The list owner may establish other owners, and may optionally have others take roles such as moderating the discussion or managing subscription requests. List owners can execute commands for their subscribers, including adding and deleting subscribers. List owners receive all requests for moderation from the server that moderators receive, so even with a moderated list, it is not necessary to specify a moderator. Each list must have at least one owner who is a current student, faculty, or staff at the UWC-UWEX.

Mailman is a resource provided and operated with UWC-UWEX State funds and its use is governed by federal and state laws and policies, as well as UWC-UWEX policies. You may establish and use Mailman lists only for activities related to UWC-UWEX research, education, or administration.

Mailman lists may be established for UWC-UWEX students, faculty, or staff who need a list to further their work at the University. Staff ownership and use of Mailman lists is subject to the approval of their departments and supervisors.

For usage policies refer to Message Guidelines, and the UWC-UWEX Guidelines for Appropriate Use of Information Technology Resources found at http://www.uwex.edu/cio/usepolicy.cfm.
