<h2><a name="mailinglist" id="mailinglist" shape="rect"></a>Mailing List</h2>

<h3><a name="Uselist" id="Uselist" shape="rect"></a>Using the WAI Interest
Group (IG) mailing list</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Treat others with respect.</li>
  <li>Keep to the topic of web accessibility.</li>
  <li>Keep your reply comments near the top of a message, and only quote
    essential parts of a previous message at the top -- so  there are few quote
    markings for  readers to wade through.</li>
  <li>No soliciting.</li>
  <li>If you use a <strong>vacation auto-responder</strong> on your e-mail
    program, make sure to <strong>exclude responses to any mail with
    w3c-wai-ig@w3.org in any header</strong>.</li>
  <li>Please send any questions about the WAI IG mailing list to <a href="mailto:shawn@w3.org" shape="rect">shawn@w3.org</a>, not to the
    whole list or to other list members.</li>
</ul>

<h4> Subscribe to Digest or Read the Archives</h4>

<p>You can read the mailing list from the <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/" shape="rect">mail
archive</a> instead of subscribing to the list.</p>

<p>You can also subscribe to a <strong>digest</strong> of the WAI IG mailing
list, which will compile WAI IG messages for you. For the digest, send
"subscribe" to <a href="mailto:w3c-wai-ig-d-request@w3.org" shape="rect">w3c-wai-ig-d-request@w3.org</a>. To unsubscribe from the digest,
send "unsubscribe" to <a href="mailto:w3c-wai-ig-d-request@w3.org" shape="rect">w3c-wai-ig-d-request@w3.org</a>.</p>


<div class="changed">
  <h3>Sending messages to the WAI IG list</h3>
  <p>To send a message to the list, first subscribe to the list (instructions
    above), then send your message to <a href="mailto:w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org" shape="rect">w3c-wai-ig@w3.org</a></p>
  <p><strong>The first time you send a message to a public W3C mailing list</strong>, you will
    get a reply e-mail asking if you will give permission for your message to be
    distributed to the list and thus go into the public archive. There is an
    option to do this once and then you don't have to do it again in the
    future.</p>
