Cohousing-L Mailing List: email ists

At Pioneer Valley we don't have an official policy, but generally anyone who 

is connected to and active in the community can be on the lists.  If we 

haven't seen or heard from them, we take them off.  It's usually obvious 

who's part of our extended community and who isn't.  It seems to work fine.

Speaking of email, we're also interested in finding out if other
communities have a policy about allowing former owners and former renters
to remain on your community listserv after those folks leave.  This is
addressed to communities that are built out and lived in.

We don't have a policy, and in the absence of a policy we let them stay on

if they don't ask to be removed.  There are also a couple of 

almost-members

on the listserv -- people who were very involved during the planning stage
but eventually dropped out.

I'd love to hear both from communities with a policy -- what is your
policy? -- and those without -- how are you handling this informally?  And
are you satisfied with the way it is working?
