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.
Each
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.
