Hi, I have my all my lists registered I believe but, it is strange. I am used to having to sign into the list with a password. And I don’t see that anymore. I just bookmarked my list and the main page comes up. The only way I can sub anyone to the list is with the mass sub option. Is the normal now? Thank you Sue Ashby Sent from my iPad

Sue, I bookmarked my Subscriptions page, which says Mailman Settings, with my User Name beside it, and on the far right side of the page. This page contains all of the Lists I am subscribed to, including the ones I'm the Admin/Owner for. From that page, you can get to any of your lists without signing in each time. Yes, the options on the individual Lists page are different, and you can only subscribe people via the Mass sub option. It is an entirely different interface, than we're used to.

Something that has not been discussed here is the General Data Protection Regulation, a law passed by the European Union that goes into effect on 25 May. This law has been seriously discussed on the Genealogy-DNA list, if you want to see the discussion, visit the archives. This law covers the privacy of every citizen of the EU, on any computer anywhere in the world. My sense is, that is why our list subscribers need to manage their own accounts, and most tools we had, as admins in the past, have been transferred to our subscribers. My understanding is that if something happens that violates the privacy of a subscriber, as admins, we could be held responsible. If, however, only the subscribers can subscribe themselves to the lists, manage their options and unsubscribe themselves, they are the responsible party. There are three things we, as admins/owners can do: put individuals on moderation, put the whole list on moderation, or ban an address from posting to a list. I would think twice about doing things for a subscriber that they should be doing for themselves, through their accounts. Marleen Van Horne

Thanks, Marleen. I've known about this for a while. It affects U.S. sites, too. Any U.S. website that touches UK or EU members needs to comply. At least that's my understanding. Yes?

Thanks Delores. However, even though I see my user name in the right hand upper corner of the page I bookmarked, it does not give a list of those. I admin. And, I don’t have to sign in. So, that’s o.k. I guess. I am still able to do everything I need to on this one page.. ????

Well. Your right about the laws. Genealogy is public data. Far as admin vs ancestry I would asume ancestry would be liable to protect its volunteers since we did not add the objective content. Far as privacy goes please explain that as the lists are public read only data that any one could be liable for something they did not post. Just some thoughts on the subject. Also. There were some similar genealogical rules made in CA also people should be familiar with.

Hi Marleen If you are thinking this latest version of Mailman has changed due to the EU law you are wrong When we changed to Mailman a few years ago the same facility was available then, but after some problems it was withdrawn so admins only had the functions Perhaps most subscribers are now more computer savvy and can handle it themselves but there will always be some who can't Otherwise why have an admin at all? As far as I can see the greatest effect of the GDPR will be the increase in the speed in which data is routinely destroyed as companies attempt to minimise the possibility of customer data getting into the wrong hands with a hefty fine ensuing And no doubt we will be plagued with requests from loads of companies and organisations for permission to use our data, most likely written in gobbledy gook language that no one can understand anyway ;-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 11-Apr-18 10:57 PM, Marleen Van Horne wrote: > Something that has not been discussed here is the General Data > Protection Regulation, a law passed by the European Union that goes into > effect on 25 May.  This law has been seriously discussed on the > Genealogy-DNA list, if you want to see the discussion, visit the > archives.  This law covers the privacy of every citizen of the EU, on > any computer anywhere in the world. > > My sense is, that is why our list subscribers need to manage their own > accounts, and most tools we had, as admins in the past, have been > transferred to our subscribers.  My understanding is that if something > happens that violates the privacy of a subscriber, as admins, we could > be held responsible.  If, however, only the subscribers can subscribe > themselves to the lists, manage their options and unsubscribe > themselves, they are the responsible party. > > There are three things we, as admins/owners can do:  put individuals on > moderation, put the whole list on moderation, or ban an address from > posting to a list.  I would think twice about doing things for a > subscriber that they should be doing for themselves, through their > accounts. > > Marleen Van Horne
