Email Aliasing for Groups

American Mensa offers email aliasing to Local Groups and Special Interest Groups, based on the following criteria:

1. The hosted group must be a recognized, active Local Group or Special Interest Group of American Mensa.

2. A Web Contact or SIG Coordinator must be listed with American Mensa's National Office to serve as the official contact for Web activity on behalf of the group. The Web Contact may or may not be the Webmaster for the site, but he or she must be a currently active member of American Mensa and approved by the group's LocSec or the AMC SIGs Officer. The National Office will verify the membership and approval of the Web Contact or SIG Coordinator prior to activating DNS service. If there is a vacancy in the office of Web Contact or SIG Coordinator, the Local Group or the AMC SIGs Officer will be notified so that another member can be approved.

3. Requests for Web services must be made by the Web Contact, Local Secretary or the national SIG Coordinator.

4. American Mensa will provide email aliases for the group's primary contacts. These aliases will point to the actual email addresses of the contacts. The aliases provided will be in the format position@group.us.mensa.org, where group is the official name or accepted nickname for that group.

5. No actual email inboxes will be provided. Each alias must point to another email address outside of American Mensa's Web services.

6. All aliased officers must be currently active members of American Mensa, approved by the LocSec or AMC SIGs Officer and on record with the National Office. Requests for changes to these aliases will be verified.

7. For Local Groups, aliases listed on the national site will include LocSec@, Editor@, GiftedChildren@, WebContact@ and Testing@. In the event of a vacancy in any of these offices, the LocSec's contact information will be substituted until a suitable replacement is provided to the National Office.

8. Requests for additional aliases not included in the standard request will be honored on a case-by-case basis.

9. Abuse of American Mensa's Web services may result in a discontinuation of services.  Reports of abuse should be made to onlineabuse@americanmensa.org.
