Title: Who can own a Mailman list at the UW?

Question:

Can anyone be a Mailman list owner at the UW or do you need to be a
student, faculty, or staff member?

Answer:

Mailman lists may be established for current UW students, faculty, or
staff who need a list to further their work at the University. Staff
ownership and use of Mailman lists is subject to the approval of their
departments and supervisors.

All Mailman lists must have at least one owner who is a current UW
student, faculty, or staff. Additional owners do not have to be affiliated
with the UW. All Mailman list owners (including owners not affiliated with
the UW) must have a valid UW NetID. UW NetIDs for non-affiliated owners
can be sponsored by UW faculty or staff. UW students who own a list and
who wish to have additional list owners who are not associated with the UW
must find a UW faculty or staff who is willing to sponsor a UW NetID.

Faculty and staff can request a sponsored UW NetID by sending email to
help@u.washington.edu
