E-list Ownership and Administration (Lyris)

This article applies to: E-lists (Lyris)

First, a couple of technical terms, as used by CIT and Lyris.

  • List Owner is the person ultimately responsible for all aspects of the operation of the e-list, and is the liaison between the e-list and CIT. A list’s owner is also a list administrator, and may delegate some of the administrative activities to other people.
  • List Administrator is a person who has been granted administrative access to the list by the list owner to assist in the operation of the list.

Responsible operation of a list includes these tasks, performed by owners and/or administrators:

  • Monitoring and resolving errors generated by the list (see Maintain Your E-list).
  • Providing all technical assistance to the list's subscribers.
  • Working with subscribers to resolve all non-technical issues, including the contents of the list, and who should and should not be permitted to subscribe.
  • Responding in a timely manner to communications from the CIT e-list administrative team (listmgr@cornell.edu).

In addition, the List Owner is solely responsible for these additional duties:

  • Attending to ownership changes.
  • Responding to the annual list renewal process each spring.
  • Upon retiring from ownership, explicitly passing ownership to someone else or shutting down the list.
