Open Distribution Lists.
Fixed Distribution Lists and Aliases.
ACM/SIGCHI uses electronic mail extensively for coordinating
committees, discussion groups and management activities of the
society. The lists are hosted by either Xerox or ACM.
The coordinator is Don Patterson.
For Xerox-hosted lists support is provided by Xerox PARC, where Nick
Briggs is the postmaster and support for this system. All lists and
aliases in this domain have the form
<name>.chi@xerox.com. Anyone added to a list in this
domain receives an alias of the form <first name>_<last
name>.chi@xerox.com. Shorter aliases in the form <last
name>.chi@xerox.com or <first initial><last
name>.chi@xerox.com are also provided when possible.
To each Xerox-hosted list name you must add ".chi@xerox.com"; for
instance to reach the EEC list, email EEC.chi@xerox.com.
For more information about individual lists, to request
to be added to or removed from a list, or to request a change of
address please email Registrar.chi@xerox.com,
which reaches both Don and Nick.
ACM-hosted lists are managed automatically by a mail server.
To subscribe to such a list you should send a SUBSCRIBE request to
mailserv@acm.org.
The request should be the only item in the body of your email message.
Requests to the mail server take the form:
<request> <list> <address>
for instance:
SUBSCRIBE ii_chi person@site.com
Valid requests are:
- SUBSCRIBE - subscribe a person to the specified mailing list.
You specify the name of the mailing list.
- UNSUBSCRIBE - unsubscribe someone from the specified mailing list.
You specify the name of the mailing list.
- SEND/LIST - sends the requested mailing list. You specify the name of
the mailing list.
If the SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE command is submitted without an address,
the address sending the message is subscribed or unsubscribed.
To contribute to an ACM-hosted list, mail <listname>@acm.org.
The complete list of SIGCHI email distribution lists is provided
below. ACM-hosted lists are marked with an asterisk; all others are
Xerox-hosted.
For discussion and dissemination of topics of interest to members of
SIGCHI and the HCI community. Open membership.
To subscribe to any of these, send the line
SUBSCRIBE <list-name> <email-address>
to either registrar.chi@xerox.com or mailserv@acm.org, depending on whether the list is ACM or Xerox hosted.
For communications within the various SIGCHI committees and to provide
SIGCHI members in general ready access to all management components of
the SIGCHI organization. Membership is defined by positions held in
various groups and committees in SIGCHI.
