As a brand new service to our members, the GSS is pleased to announce that it has established an electronic mailing list -- the GSSLIST -- to provide you with information and announcements concerning GSS and related meetings, conferences, seminars, visiting scholars programs, and other activities and events. It is also intended to serve as a forum for dialogue among the subscribers, providing outreach to State and local government statisticians, as well. Want to announce an upcoming event for government statisticians, share information about a proposed statistical standard, track down a good reference, or inquire about experiences others have had using a particular technique? Just send a message to the GSSLIST and wait for responses to come back to you. It is our hope that this will serve as a means for government statisticians and users of government statistics at all levels to interact with each other about common concerns, problems, and solutions.
There is no fee to join the GSSLIST . Any GSS member can subscribe -- it is as easy to use as e-mail: Just send an e-mail message to listproc@inet.ed.gov. Leave the subject line blank; In the message type: Subscribe GSSLIST (your first name) (your last name) -- e.g., Subscribe GSSLIST John Doe. You will receive back confirmation that your name has been added to the subscription list. Then, in order to post a message to the GSSLIST, simply type your e-mail message and address it to: GSSLIST@inet.ed.gov. Remember that this is a two-way communication and that every time you send a message to the GSSLIST it is automatically forwarded to all subscribers.
Join the GSSLIST today and help us make this dynamic new vehicle an informative and stimulating way to communicate with each other. The more members who participate, the more active the list will be!
Special thanks to Pat Doyle and Tai Phan for getting this new initiative up and running!
