Dear IGS Colleagues,

In response to increasing requests to split "routine" station
messages from the IGSMail list, the IGSStation mailing list has
now been created.

Here is some guidance on what goes in which list:

IGSMail: announcements related to IGS products, IGS Workshops,
major DC announcements, enhancements to web pages or services,
sessions at conferences, new working groups and pilot projects.
The CB will announce new stations on IGSMail.  Basically, this is
for infrequent announcements that are of interest to the whole
IGS community.

IGSStation: An advisory IGSStation message should be sent in the following
cases -- in advance if possible, otherwise within one business day:
     * Changes in antenna, radome, monument, receiver, cabling, frequency
standard, receiver settings such as elevation cutoff angle, or environment
(such as tree removal or building construction); in general, any change
which can affect position solutions. Briefly describe in the message what
was changed.
     * If a RINEX file must be resubmitted to a DC due to corruption,
incorrect metadata, etc.
     * If a station is expected to be unavailable for more than one week.
     * When a site is decommissioned permanently.
     * When a problem or error in the station or its site log is discovered
and corrected. Briefly describe in the message what was changed.

What you need to do:

* Site operators: Please start using the igsstation list instead
of igsmail for the types of messages listed above.  The same
rules described in http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/faqs.html#mailinstr
apply to igsstation also.

* Analysts and anyone wanting to continue to receive station
advisories:  No one has been subscribed automatically!
If you wish to receive this type of station notifications, you must
subscribe as follows.  Send an email to majordomo at igscb.jpl.nasa.gov and
type the following into the body of the message (substituting your
email address for "you at your.email.address"):
subscribe igsstation you at your.email.address
(This procedure is reviewed on 
http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/mail/igsstation/igsstation.html)
You will receive a confirmation email showing you are subscribed.

Thanks in advance to all that will have to change their procedures.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Best regards,
Angie
