IFUW Networks

IFUW Networks offer members opportunities to discuss issues, share information and make personal contacts with other IFUW members throughout the world.

The networks (listservs) are open to any IFUW member with e-mail access. Each has a different focus. Some look at issue areas (Advocacy, Projects, WayForward & Environment); other target specific age groups (Young Members & the Next Generation). Members may subscribe to as many networks as they wish. To join a network, simply fill in the subscription form.

www.pil.netEach network has a moderator who stimulates discussion and reviews messages to remove viruses and spam. PlantageNet, a private company in the USA, provides technical support, computer space and software necessary to support these networks as a free, public service to IFUW.   For problems subscribing or sending messages to a network please contact networks@ifuw.org.

All members who subscribe to any of our networks are automatically added to the main IFUW network to receive official correspondence.
