Guidelines for Everyone List Announcements

• The everyone list is for announcements. Be sure that you're announcing something.

• Logistics are important. If you're announcing an event, be sure to include the date, time, and place. If you're looking for project volunteers, be sure to include points of contact.

• When in doubt, shorter is better. Try to do a few rounds of editing/proof reading. If you read your announcement to a group of people, it should feel like you're talking to them. Think of a working group (or individual) announcement that you'd make at GA.

• Solidarity announcements (i.e., announcements made on behalf of another organization) are okay. But please work with the other organization, and respect the goals they are trying to achieve. Solidarity announcements should be about movement building as much as they are about publicity.

• The submitter must be identified in the body of the message. If necessary add "(Submitted by J. Q. Occupier)", or similar, at the bottom. Of course, replace "J. Q. Occupier" with the submitter's actual name. If the message was submitted by a working group, it's okay to use the working group name.
