[GLIMS] Changes to the GLIMS mailing list

[Bruce RAUP]

Hello all,

The GLIMS mailing list has recently changed.  You are receiving this
because you are already a subscriber.

BACKGROUND

   For years, the GLIMS mailing list has been hosted at the USGS in
   Flagstaff, Arizona.  The GLIMS center of gravity has moved away from that
   institution, and they have recently made some changes to their IT
   infrastructure which led to the discontinuation of the GLIMS list there.

   We have just re-created the GLIMS mailing list at NSIDC, using a better
   software system called "Mailman".  It is the same system as is used by
   Todd Albert for Cryolist.  We have already transferred all addresses from
   the old list to the new list.  In addition, we have put all the GLIMS
   list messages since 1999 in the archive, available at the URL below.



REQUIRED ACTIONS FOR YOU

   None.  :-)



OPTIONAL ACTIONS FOR YOU

   The Web interface for the list is at

     https://nsidc.org/mailman/listinfo/glims

   Use this interface to view the archives, unsubscribe, suspend delivery
   for a time, see who else is subscribed, or configure many other options.
   Some of this activity will require a password, which you can obtain right
   away by entering your email address in the field near the bottom of the
   page and clicking the button "Unsubscribe or edit options".  One option
   is to have your password sent to you.  You will also receive automatic
   monthly reminders of your password.  If you don't remember which email
   address you used to subscribe to the glims list previously, send me a
   note and I'll help figure that out.

   Posting to the list is done by sending a message to

     glims at nsidc.org

   The first message from a new poster is held for moderator approval.
   Thereafter, messages from that poster will bypass moderation and go
   directly to the list.  There will be a few moderators, so messages should
   not be on hold for long in any case.


I apologize for the sudden nature of this switch -- it all happened rather
quickly, much of it while I was in Vienna for EGU last week.  Hopefully it
will be a smooth transition and an improvement to the list.  More
information about the mechanics of the list can be obtained at the URL
above.

Best regards,
Bruce Raup (list administrator)
