Dear BC Members, As part of ICANN's toolkit services, the BC has been granted a new bc "private" mailing list which will be managed directly by me as BC Secretariat. The advantages of changing mailing list are numerous, but they include saving costs by hosting the mailing list directly via ICANN and having the opportunity to host an archiving system for this mailing list as well. The NEW mailing list email address is the following: bc-private@icann.org Information regarding the new list can be found below. You will shortly receive all of this information in an automatically generated email as soon as I add your email address to the list. Each member will receive a welcome email with an automatically generated password. This password will allow you to log in to your personal space and manage your subscription (change password, options, etc) and more importantly will allow you to access the email archive. The archive is password protected for privacy reasons, since this mailing list is the one used for transmitting private information such as dial in details, etc. We will continue to host the old mailing list until the end of the month, but it would be great if members started using the new list in the next couple of days. I will add all members email addresses today, October 5th 2011, and you should therefore expect to receive your confirmation email today, with all information regarding the list (found below) and your personal password. A reminder of your chosen password (or automatically generated password if you choose to leave it that way) will be automatically sent to you each month as a reminder. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns regarding the new mailing list. Kind Regards, Benedetta Rossi BC Secretariatwww.bizconst.orgsecretariat-bc@hotmail.com Example of welcome email once you are subscribed to the new mailing list: Welcome to the Bc-private@icann.org mailing list! To post to this list, send your email to: bc-private@icann.org General information about the mailing list is at: https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/bc-private If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: "personalized link for your email address" You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: Bc-private-request@icann.org with the word `help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. It is: "personalized password will be found here" Normally, Mailman will remind you of your icann.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you.
