Subject: Important: Barnard is moving to UVLists as Barnard-Discuss
Subject: Important: $announcement_subject


Hello,
Hello,


On 10/27/2026, Barnard will move from Vital Communities to UVLists, the volunteer-run nonprofit taking responsibility for Upper Valley community email lists.
On $transition_date, the $old_list_name listserv will move from $previous_provider to UVLists, the volunteer-run nonprofit taking responsibility for Upper Valley community email lists.$rename_notice


As part of the move, the list is being renamed from Barnard to Barnard-Discuss. This is the same Barnard community list; its name, address, and service provider are changing.
<b>Want to stay on the list?</b>
No action is needed. We will transfer your subscription and preserve your individual-message or digest delivery preference.


What this means for you
<b>Prefer not to move to UVLists?</b>
Unsubscribe from the existing list by $opt_out_deadline using either method below. Anyone who unsubscribes by the deadline will not be transferred.


- You do not need to subscribe again. Unless you unsubscribe from the existing Barnard list by 10/27/2026, we will transfer your subscription to the new list.
<b>What to expect</b>
- We will preserve your individual-message or digest delivery preference.
- Continue using barnard@lists.vitalcommunities.org until the move. Beginning on 10/27/2026, send messages to barnard-discuss@lists.uvlists.org.
- You will receive a final notice from the old list and then a welcome message from the new list.


How to opt out of the transfer
Until the move, continue sending list messages to $old_posting_address.


If you do not want your subscription moved to UVLists, unsubscribe from the existing Barnard list by 10/27/2026. Unsubscribing from the existing list is what tells us not to transfer your subscription.
Beginning on $transition_date, send list messages to $posting_address.


Using the old list's web interface
You will receive a final notice from the $previous_provider list, followed by a welcome message from UVLists with instructions for using the new list.


1. Open the unsubscribe page:
<b>More information before the move</b>


  https://lists.vitalcommunities.org/lists/signoff/barnard
As the transition date approaches, UVLists will send additional information to help you get ready, including:
  - Steps you can take to help ensure UVLists messages reach your inbox rather than your spam or junk folder.
  - Contact cards you can add to your address book with the new list posting address.
  - Reminders about the transition date and how to use the new list.


2. Enter the email address that is subscribed to the old list.
You can also visit the migration page on our wiki for details about the move, answers to common questions, and updates:
3. Follow the instructions on the page and complete any confirmation step.


By email
$migration_info_url


1. From the email address that is subscribed to the old list, send a blank message to:
<b>How to opt out</b>


  barnard-unsubscribe@lists.vitalcommunities.org
To opt out of the transfer, you need to unsubscribe from the existing $old_list_name list by $opt_out_deadline. You can do this on the web or by email.


2. If you receive a confirmation request, follow its instructions to finish unsubscribing.
<b>On the web:</b>
  1. Open $previous_unsubscribe_url
  2. Enter the email address where you receive list messages.


Anyone who unsubscribes from the existing list by the deadline will not be transferred. You may also unsubscribe from the new list at any time after the move.
Follow the instructions and complete any required confirmation.


Please add barnard-discuss@lists.uvlists.org to your contacts, but do not use it until the transition is complete.
<b>By email:</b>


For questions about the move or help unsubscribing from the existing list, contact helpdesk@uvlists.org.
From the email address where you receive list messages, send a blank message to $previous_unsubscribe_address


Thank you,
If you receive a confirmation request, follow its instructions to complete your unsubscribe request.
The UVLists team
 
</nowiki>
Unsubscribing takes you off the existing list and prevents your subscription from being transferred. If you stay subscribed through the move, you can still unsubscribe from UVLists at any time.
 
<b>Need help?</b>
 
For questions about the move or help unsubscribing, contact $support_address.$extra_note
 
Thank you for being part of your community’s list.
