organisation / use of subgroups

 

Does anyone have an explanation of when a topic should be addressed
to all or just to the subgroup? I want people to be able to easily
decide who to send a message to and obviously, there are overlaps.

Thanks-
Nick Robinson
 

It really depends on the group.? As was mentioned a few days ago, one person has the main group set as announcement only.? Any discussion takes place in a subgroup.? Having specific names would help here, say Announce for the main group and Discuss for the subgroup.? Others have subgroups for board members or committees.? As you mentioned, there are sometimes overlap, so gray areas do exist.

Nick,

In my PTA group it is relatively clear-cut.

All of the PTA unit members (those that wished to participate) are in the primary group, which I renamed from "main" to "members". The elected board members are in a subgroup named "board". I have other subgroups for various working committees (event planning, etc.).

That makes it pretty clear, in most cases, where one should send a given message according to which subgroup of the membership "needs to know". When discussing the details of planning an event the message should go to that subgroup rather than clutter the inboxes of the entire membership. Likewise if you're discussing something sensitive it most likely should go to the board, not to a committee or the whole membership.

In my PTA group there's a strong mapping to "real life" subgroups of people who share a common interest or function within the PTA unit. Your group's situation may be different, but you may be able to apply the same principle of forming the subgroups around common interests within the overall membership.

In our co-op group, it's pretty simple. We have multiple committees and social groups. If post is TO a committee or social group, it goes in the subgroup. If the post is ABOUT a committee or social group, it goes to main.

I am a moderator/owner of a closed egroup on Yahoo that I want to move to another group site. Yahoo is not performing and is actually presenting many problems compared to when our group started in 2010.?
We have about 750 members but our potential is more than 6000 members, it's a closed and private community group that accommodates all kinds of posts, including political, religious, for sale, for rent, etc. and anything the poster wants to present as long as it is not vulgar, not sexual in any way and not insulting to another member...¡­.....it also has to be something normally judged in society as acceptable.
So, assuming our group would remain private, what are the steps to accomplish the move??

I suggest you check out the wiki entry at?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups?and ask any further questions after digesting it. See also the system help on this topic at?/yahootransfer?
