Internal Mailing Lists

If you're on the committee, and think you should be on our internal "staff" and "chat" lists (or if you want to change your settings), try these links. Note that if you're not already on the lists, your e-mail address will go to our administrators before you're actually added on to the list, so give us a few days to take care of that.
