ListServ PROTOCOL

In order to facilitate professional and informational communications the following are suggested as proper protocol.

1. Do not use CAPITAL letters - It is considered yelling.
2. Profanity is not permitted.
3. Read your document carefully before you send it. Check that the e-mail is accurate and that is says exactly what you want to say. Remember that there is a person at the other end of the e-mail, use professional integrity when addressing another member specifically. If this is not possible, a phone call may be appropriate.
4. If you are replying to a previous e-mail, reference it or include a copy with your reply.
5. Information must be included in the subject line or the listserv will reject your message.
6. E-mail addresses on this lists are private and not for distribution of any kind without permission of the individual and GSA.
7. Please do not distribute copies of e-mail submissions to persons that are not on the listserv. Comments are restricted to those on the listserv.
8. Political postings (including endorsements of GSA officers) are not permitted.
