[aaus-list] Two lists and the transition

[Robert DeLossa]

Dear AAUS and AAUS-Community Members,

After several weeks of ironing out the kinks,* I have begun to split 
the lists into a pure academic-interests list and a community list.

In the next few days you may receive a message telling you that you 
have been unsubscribed from AAUS-list and another telling you that 
you have been subscribed to AAUS-community-list. If you are on the 
new list, you will receive all of the posts from the old list, plus 
any posts from members on political/cultural/social themes that are 
outside strict "news of the profession" informational bulletins.

If you remain on the old list, please note that we no longer will 
allow broad politico-culturological commentary on the list.

I did not receive many replies as to list-preference when I made the 
call about the split last month. Therefore, I have moved/will move 
members of aaus-list to the Community list according to membership in 
AAUS, affiliate status, and past posting patterns. If you feel that 
you have been moved unjustly, DO NOT complain to the list. Send me a 
message off-list. If you are not a member of AAUS, you will have the 
opportunity to join AAUS if you want to remain on the narrower AAUS 
list. Otherwise, you will be moved to the Community list.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE MOVED TO THE NEW LIST: you need to adjust your 
e-mail address books to post to aaus-community-list at brama.com. In 
order to avoid confusion, we are using the brama.com designation for 
the new list, not the old ukrainianstudies.org. The two domains are 
functionally equivalent. Ukrainianstudies.org "lives" on the servers 
of brama.com. Both lists continue to be owned by the AAUS under the 
very much appreciated aegis of the Brama.com organization.

If you have further questions, please contact me off list.

With warmest regards,

Robert DeLossa, AAUS Communications

*Many thanks to Prof. Patricia Herlihy for her help in testing the 
new dual-list system!
