The list is not primarily a discussion list (which > would be appropriate for Yahoogroups, for example). It is an announcement list, > which I use for communicating information to, and seeking advice from, various > groups within the organization. A typical message may, for example, announce an > upcoming meeting; float a draft proposal for your information or comment; report on > a matter of interest to delegates, such as the current search for a new site for the > City Convention next month; or circulate an answer to some frequently asked question > about Party rules or affairs. I ordinarily reserve the list for announcements from, > or of direct interest to, the Minneapolis DFL Party. > > I occasionally forward a message to the list at a member's request. There is > an occasional discussion on the list, but those messages are few and far between. > Generally, the list is not an overwhelming burden. I go out of my way to use it > sparingly, and to avoid abusing it by posting routine announcements of limited > interest, or the overheated "action alerts" that appear with distressing frequency > on many other DFL lists. All my messages use a subject line that begins with > "DFL/Mpls.", which you can use for setting a rule that automatically files incoming > messages into a folder that you can check at your convenience; and I am fairly > conscientious about using a subject line that accurately describes each message's > content. > > You can also find information about the Minneapolis Party -- including the > constitution, bylaws, and directory, agendas and minutes, and records from past > conventions -- on Tim Bonham's webpage at www.mpls.dfl.org. > > Again, if you are a DFLer interested in joining the Minneapolis list, please > write to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] And if you know of a candidate who will be seeking > the City Party's endorsement, please encourage him or her to contact me about > joining this list too.
