Association for Language Learning, UK (ALL) Dear Colleagues, This message is just to mention that the last meeting of the Membership Services Committee recommended that ALL announcements and public documents be published on the ALLNET email discussion list. Two documents have already appeared, namely the minutes of the ALL Executive Committee, and the minutes of the Membership Services Committee, both of 6 March 1999. The list was set up to provide a discussion forum for ALL members and committees and its success depends on ALL members joining and using it!! So please use it!! Instructions are given below on how to join the list. It runs through the Mailbase system. It's open to any who wish to join, and it will be a natural forum for ALL members of all sorts and also members of committees and branch organisers to communicate quickly with each other and the Rugby office. I (see my signature below) am actually called the listowner - this is purely for administrative purposes! The list belongs to ALL and its members. If as many members of ALL committees and branches join the list as possible, communications will be greatly improved. If you want to read the two documents mentioned above, you can read them on the ALLNET page on the Mailbase website. This message archive can be viewed at: www.mailbase.ac.uk How to join ALLNET: 1. New message, "To" box: [log in to unmask] Put this address in your address book. 2. Put nothing in the other boxes. 3. In the body of the message, type the command e.g. join allnet Andrew Jameson (put your own name!) 4. Turn off or delete your signature. Send the command. 5. In a few moments you will receive a message asking for confirmation. Follow the instructions, copy and paste the bit of code into a new message and send it back to mailbase. 6. If you've done this correctly you will receive a welcome message and you will be able to post messages to the list immediately. 7. When posting to the list, address your messages to [log in to unmask] Put this in your address book. 8. Further briefing materials can be obtained from the Mailbase website (user guide, FAQs etc).
