Category:Communications Policy
From HacDC Wiki
This policy is meant to clarify how communications are handled at HacDC. We have an obligation to:
- Collaborate clearly and effectively within HacDC.
- Communicate effectively with the general public.
This policy outlines the various methods of communication necessary to facilitate the mission of HacDC.
E-mail is the front line of contact between HacDC and the outside world. It is also how most contact happens within the organization. The communications policy spells out how e-mail is to be used by HacDC for maximum effectiveness and mibs.
Member E-mail Addresses/Aliases
Each member is entitled to an @hacdc.org e-mail account. HacDC shall offer hosting for @hacdc.org e-mail accounts or offer the option of forwarding to the member's chosen e-mail address. Member e-mail shall not be archived, except as chosen by the member in a hosted e-mail account.
Organizational Contact E-mail Addresses
Generic e-mail addresses should be lists comprised of members serving that particular function. Each generic list should also have an archival function associated with it, either an archive e-mail address or a web archive available only to members of the list.
The following are the current OC e-mail addresses
| E-mail address | Aliases | General Purpose | Primary Contact | List Members | Archived by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [email protected] | press, help, abuse, * | General inquiries and contact, catch-all | Coordinator in Chief | The Ministers | Archival e-mail account |
| [email protected] | www, blog, wordpress | Web page design, inquiries, WordPress administrative requests | Minister of Information | Web Team | Archival e-mail account |
| [email protected] | mediawiki | Wiki inquiries, help, administrative requests | Minister of Information | Wiki Team | Archival e-mail account |
| [email protected] | irs, dcra, dmca, theman | Corporate paperwork, things we really cannot let slip by the wayside | Keeper of the Mibs | The Ministers | Archival e-mail account |
Replies shall be handled by members from whatever e-mail address they choose to reply from. However, all replies must cc: the original contact list.
Project Contact E-Mail Addresses
Each ongoing project must have an e-mail address associated with it. The e-mail address may be an alias for the project coordinator, a discussion list for the project as a whole or an alias to info@ so The Ministers may be able to send project inquiries to the correct relevant parties. In any case, the status of each project contact e-mail must be documented here:
| E-mail address | Aliases | General Purpose | Alias/List/Other | Primary Contact | List Members | Archived? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [email protected] | (None) | Discussion list for the Columbia Heights Wireless Project. | List | [email protected] | [email protected] | Yes, Archival e-mail account |
