An email network is based on a central list of email
addresses. When a message is sent to the address of the network, it
automatically goes to everybody who has joined. This makes it a
simple way of sharing information, advice, queries and suggestions.
A list of networks
that NAVCA facilitates is available.
When somebody joins an email network, a welcome message is
sent to them which confirms that they have joined the network. This
contains information about how to use the network, the purpose of
the network and the etiquette that
we ask all email network members to follow. Only people who have
joined the network can send and receive messages.
In order to ensure that messages remain relevant to a
particular topic or group of people, most networks are restricted
to people with a particular role within their organisation. Many
networks are open to voluntary and community organisations that
work with, support and complement the work of local infrastructure
organisations, although some are restricted to NAVCA members only.
For more information see the relevant link from the
list of
networks.
There is no charge for joining an email
network.
Each email network has a
network
administrator who can deal with any further
queries.
