== Creating Committee Yahoo! Groups ==
Each NASPA committee needs a Yahoo! Group in which to
conduct and archive its official correspondence, and to
offer an email address to which public inquiries may be
directed. We currently use the yahoogroups.com system
for doing so. Requests for new group creation should be
directed to the Web Committee, who should follow these
steps to ensure that the group is correctly configured.
# Place the group in the index hierarchy at Games → Board Games → Scrabble.
# Give it a name that starts with “naspa-”
# Specify the committee NASPAWiki page as the related link.
# Specify English at the group’s primary language.
# List the group in the Yahoo! Groups directory.
# Specify that all web tool permissions are member-only, and enable chat.
# Specify that membership is restricted (requires approval, to prevent spammers and other unauthorized joiners), do not allow members to hide their email addresses, and leave the welcome message at the default for the committee chair to edit.
# Specify that anyone may post messages (to receive public inquiries), replies go to all members, moderation is for new members (so that spam does not get posted automatically), attachments are stored in email and not on site (so that people can view attachments offline) spam filtering is on (not that it works), and the archive is accessible only to members.
# Manually add (“from an existing list”) the following people to the list, grant them all administrator privileges and specify that the receive all admin email notifications: the committee chair (or cochairs), [[Chris Cree]], [[John Chew]], and at least one other Web Committee member willing to take responsibility for the group.
# Use the web interface to invite all committee members to join the group, and follow through to make sure that they do so without difficulty.
# Make sure each committee member’s individual message posting settings are set to unmoderated, overriding the group default above.
