Migration Process
In brief; The process is as described below;
- On the Announcement Date a notice that the list is moving is sent to the existing list, containing details for how to opt-out and the closing date of the existing list (typically 7 calendar days)
- Existing list subscribers opt-out by unsubscribing from the existing list before the Cutover Date
- On the Cutover Date another notice will be sent to the remaining list members, stating that the list will be closing at the end of the day.
- The existing list will be moved to moderated mode, so no posts will be passed to subscribers. Subscribers will be migrated to UVLists at this time.
- Subscribers will be migrated, including list delivery preferences, will be imported. A welcome message containing additional information about the list, moderators and how to get help will be sent.
