Academy Listerv Etiquette
Please include your name at the end of your posting or response to a posting. It is difficult to evaluate what you are saying if we don’t know who you are. An email address alone is not an identity. When possible, include your name, affiliation, and location.
If your reply to a posting is relevant mainly to the poster, please click “Reply” and not “Reply to All,” which shares your personal response with 1,500 Listserv email members. Send messages such as “Thanks for the information” to individuals — not to the entire list.
New topics should be posted with a new subject line. Do not simply add a new topic to an existing thread/discussion. This creates a disarray of comments rather than an orderly, searchable Listserv. It also allows others to respond more appropriately to your posting.
Participate in a conversation if you are advancing the conversation. 1,500 people should not receive an email saying, “I agree.”
This is a listserv about aid-in-dying medicine. While topics like pain management or hospices are related, they may not be within our focus. We encourage you to post about related aspects of medical care — as long as they are directly relevant to aid-in-dying medicine.
Do not send administrative messages, such as remove me from the list, through the listserve. Direct administrative requests to AADM@AADM.org
The Academy of Aid-in-Dying Medicine is a non-profit 501(c)3 educational organization that cannot participate in political activities. As a clinical organization, we teach about aid-in-dying care and medicine as it is practiced legally in the United States, for clinicians working within those parameters with patients legally accessing aid-in-dying care. We do not lobby for laws in additional states, nor changes to the existing laws. Many organizations do this, so please work with those organizations for your advocacy work.
Do not post conversations about advocacy issues i.e. providing aid-in-dying access to patients with dementia, or adding injectable medications as a route for administering aid-in-dying medications. We understand the importance of those issues, but they are not appropriate for the Academy Listserv.
All defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal materials are strictly prohibited. Do not post anything in a listserve message that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you.
Please do not post event messages. If you have a course, conference, or organizational event to promote, contact AADM@AADM.org for permission. It is essential that the Listserv not become a forum of advertisements, or unvetted programs or events.
The Academy must approve of any posting recruiting people for a research or investigation project. Contact us at AADM@AADM.org to discuss your project before posting a recruitment notice.
No individual or organization other than the Academy can raise funds on our listserv. If your signature has a donate button in it, please delete that part of your signature when posting or replying to listserv conversations.
