Google Group Code of Conduct
Effective as of October 25, 2017
The full WIM Google Group Code of Conduct and Terms of Use Agreement is below. For your convenience, here is a summary of the key rules from the policy to keep in mind when using the WIM Google Group.
The Key Rules from WIM's Google Group Policy:
1. Do not “reply all” to messages. Please send your responses to messages privately. Make sure that you manually remove “wimmembers@googlegroups.com” from the address field in your response to the original sender. This also applies if you want to know the responses to someone else’s email to the group. Privately message the sender and ask them to forward you the answers they receive.
2. Use discretion in the frequency of your posts. In the event that a member abuses the posting privilege by sending a high volume of emails, WIM may suspend or revoke that member’s membership to WGG.
3. Relevance and Accuracy:
a. Your postings must be relevant to the mission of WIM. However, this does not mean that your message must be about music or women-only events. Our mission is toadvance the awareness, equality, diversity, heritage, opportunities, and cultural aspects of women in the musical arts through education, support, empowerment, and recognition. Before posting, please ask yourself: Is this post related to WIM’s mission? If not, you should not post.
b. Posts relating to housing, new music/video releases, and general notices about events/performances should be sent to the following WIM email addresses. These posts will be included in a weekly email digest that will be sent to the WIM Google group on Mondays.
i. Housing@womeninmusic.org - posts about requests for housing and available housing. To ensure that your post is delivered, please follow this example format when submitting your post:
“NYC: Seeking 1 bedroom apartment
Please include 3-4 sentences describing your post. Aim to be both brief and efficient in your requests for housing or notifications about housing that is available.
For inquiries, please contact: youremail@address.com”
ii. NewReleases@womeninmusic.org - posts about new music/video releases. To ensure that your post is delivered, please follow this format when submitting your post:
“Title of Release
Please include 3-4 sentences describing your post. Aim to be both brief and efficient when describing your new release and relevant information about the performers involved.
For inquiries, please contact: youremail@address.com”
iii. MemberEvents@womeninmusic.org - posts about upcoming performances and events. To ensure that your post is delivered, please follow this format when submitting your post:
“Chicago: Name of Event
Please include 3-4 sentences describing your post. Aim to be both brief and efficient in your description of the event. Be sure to include RSVP links and any other relevant information.
For inquiries, please contact: youremail@address.com”
c. No “bait and switch” postings. Do not send deceptive emails that seem to be about a matter related to WIM, but upon inspection are really unrelated or are promoting an outside service. Your posts should be about real opportunities for WIM members.
d. No use of the Women in Music or WIM marks or confusingly similar marks without WIM’s prior written approval. Please do not post events or content that could be confused with official WIM events or WIM authorized content. Before you post, please ask yourself, will people likely think this is coming from WIM? If so, please do not send it and contact WIM at events@womeninmusic.org so that we can further discuss.
e. Requests for Contacts: Please specify why you are requesting the contact and provide as much information as possible in connection with your request. A request with no context will not be approved to be posted to the group.
4. Jobs and Internships:
We welcome posts by employers and messengers in the Google group with open positions in the music and related industries.However:
a. No sending of unsolicited resumes for jobs/internships or sending posts seeking job opportunities; and
b. No soliciting of Human Resource contacts. Please refer to the website of the company in which you are interested and follow the company’s guidelines regarding contacting the company’s HR department.
c. Employers and job seekers can also post in the forum about job hunting located on the womeninmusic.org website.
5. Decorum:
a. No airing of beliefs or opinions on politics, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion.
b. No profanity or other foul language.
c. No diary-like, personal thoughts on life,personal situations, or ramblings. We are supportive to each other, but we are not a “support group” for personal issues.
d. No personal attacks or gossip of other individuals.
e. Please use discretion in the frequency of your posts. We welcome everyone to post to the Google Group, but urge our members to be considerate of each other’s inboxes. If you notice a lot of emails/activity in the Google group on a particular day and your post is not urgent, please be mindful of this and consider emailing the group the next day to curb down on email traffic. This will also increase the chances that your post will get noticed!
f. We discourage sending duplicative posts. If you are sending a duplicate or similar post, please use discretion and consider: i) how much time has elapsed since the last post, and ii) is there a justification for sending a follow up post.
g. Finally, in general, please keep your postings polite, professional, and brief to maintain the integrity of the Google group and the organization.

Women in Music Google Group Code of Conduct & Terms of Use Agreement
Current members of Women in Music, Inc. (WIM) have the option to join the WIM Google Group (“WGG”). The WGG is a medium that is controlled, moderated, and provided by WIM and allows current WIM members to engage in email communications with each other that are relevant to the mission of WIM.
If all WGG users (or WIM members) abide by the rules of this Code of Conduct & Terms of Use Agreement (the “WGG agreement”), and offer each other support and respect, the WGG can be a well-managed and pleasant place for all WIM members who choose to participate in it. In addition to the terms of this agreement (defined below), WIM members who choose to join the WGG should also be aware of 'Netiquette' and treat people as reasonable people would like to be treated in real life. If at any time, any WIM member who has joined the WGG wishes to be removed from the WGG, please send an email with your removal request to Jessie Massabni at JMassabni@womeninmusic.org.
1. Agreement to be bound by the WGG Code of Conduct and Terms of Use and the Google Group: Terms of Service
The entry of any WIM member into the WGG automatically constitutes said member’s agreement at all times to abide by this agreement during their membership in the WGG. This agreement also applies to existing members that joined the WGG prior to the date of initial publication of this agreement. Since the WGG is managed through Google, all members who join the WGG also agree to Google’s Google Group: Terms of Service, which can be found here: https://www.privacy.org.au/Papers/G-Groups-terms-120127.html, and which may be updated from time to time in Google’s discretion (the “Google TOS”). The WGG Agreement and the Google TOS are collectively referred to hereunder as the “agreement.” If you do not agree to be bound by this agreement, please immediately send an email requesting removal from the WGG to JMassabni@womeninmusic.org.
2. Member Benefit
The ability to join the WGG is considered a WIM member benefit that a member can lose for failure to abide by this agreement. Loss or suspension of the WGG benefit for failure to abide by this agreement does not always automatically result in a concurrent loss of membership to WIM, but in some cases it may, at the sole discretion of WIM. WIM membership fees are not refunded in the event of loss or suspension of the WGG benefit.
3. Modifications
WIM reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, or otherwise alter this WGG agreement at any time.

The content of acceptable emails distributed to the WGG must be relevant to the mission of WIM and must be presented and distributed in a professional and respectful manner to the WGG community. The WIM mission is stated on the WIM website at www.womeninmusic.org. If you are a member that participates in the WGG, then it is your duty to review the mission of WIM on a regular basis to keep yourself apprised of any changes to the WIM mission.
