And What If You Can't Get in, or Forgot Your Password?

A Closing Word on YahooGroups

To receive occasional notices of key reports and events from this carefully moderated low-volume forum, all you have to do is fill in the following which automatically activates your application. Once your application has been received here, you will within minutes receive an email with the information you need to enter the supporting communications, library and information site. That's all there is to it.

And if you can think of others who can join to the mutual benefit of all concerned, please use the form to initiate their application. They will be contacted shortly thereafter with clear instructions as to how to join.

Participation and Email Frequency/Fast Track

Participation makes it easy to access the Public Library, link & Media and other sections of the @Forum, as well as receiving messages of the list into your own email box, in the manner you prefer. To become a member of a given group, you are invited to send an empty email to the postmaster@ecoplan.org indicating which group you wish to join, or even easier going directly to the program that interest you and clicking the Sign-In link on the menu. After a short while you will receive a confirmation, unless there is a technical problem with your address. When you have signed up you can elect to receive feedback from this site in any of three forms:

Special notices*.

Don't send me email*

* Fast Track options Many of you may find one of the latter more convenient. The Fast Track -- the best way to fit the Commons and its many parts into a crowded schedule.

Note: If you wish to leave the list at any time, just send a blank email to

And What If You Can't Get in, or Forgot Your Password?

That's simple. Here's the drill.

Just enter YahooGroups home page at http://www.Yahoogroups.com
Where you see, mid-page, the slot to put your email address to register... Don't! Instead click, "Forgot?".
You then just calmly follow the routine, bearing in mind that it will take about two minutes for the robot to send you via email your 'validation number'. (Be sure to check your email to get it.)
From there on in, it's quick. Just follow the several instructions and you are back in and fully registered and ready to go.

Thank you for your patience in this. We know that can be trying, but neither did we learn to read over night.

A Closing Word on YahooGroups

For the last several years we have been using YahooGroups as the supporting platform for this central communications and information storage function. We chose to do this because we felt YahooGroups provided useful functionality in support of our independent cooperative program, and because it was free (bearing in mind that we carry out all these programs under The Commons without any form of external financial support... so money is scarce). The only shortcoming of this arrangement is the publicity messages and the need to sign in, but this has been judged by most of our colleagues as a bearable inconvenience under the circumstances. Until recently, that is, since things are steadily getting more intrusive and off-putting.

On the other hand, you may have some better ideas for us. We know we can do better and want to hear from you. So if you have leads, free storage space or funds, don't be shy.

Otherwise....

If you have a problem with any of this, you are invited to contact any of the @Forum Support Team. That should do it.
