Guidelines for Announcements

Solicitation & Distribution of Materials Policy 3-4

The Daily Announcements e-mail service of Today@UCAR is the designated method of reaching the entire staff of UCAR/NCAR/UOP. Every staff member with an "@ucar.edu" e-mail address receives the Daily Announcements every business day. Announcements are also posted and archived on the Web.

The "all local users" list is to be used for emergencies and urgent messages only. Emergencies consist of news and information that is time critical (meaning it cannot wait until the next morning) and that could not have been predicted in advance, including building closure announcements. If your message fits this description, see the guidelines and instructions for contacting all UCAR staff in an emergency.

Guidelines

  1. Announcements must be work related.

  2. They cannot promote commercial products, charities, or political causes, or offer personal items for sale. See UCAR Solicitation and Distribution of Materials Policy 3-4.

  3. They cannot be announcements of a personal nature, such as notices of parties or garage sales. Today@UCAR offers a Classifieds section as a service to staff wishing to post personal notices. For more information, see the Classifieds guidelines.

  4. Make sure that your message is truly of potential interest to all staff. If your message is not relevant to all staff, please send your message to the appropriate subgroup via e-mail.

  5. Keep announcements short. If your message is more than 300 words long, post a short description and a pointer to where more information can be obtained.

Announcements may be posted at any time, up to one business day in advance of the intended e-mail date, via the Web.
