Lifespan of This Listserv
This option designates an end date, if one exists, for the usefulness of this new listserv. This information assists I.T.S. in managing that available space on the listserv server to insure that it functions at the optimum level for all. Note that although the listserv may be assigned an end date, no listserv will be deleted without the owner being contacted to verify that the end date is still valid.

Ongoing: No end date assigned.
End Date: Specify expected end date below. (i.e.: November 2003, end of Spring Quarter 2004, etc.)

Listserv Archiving
Postings to your listserv may be automatically archived via two methods, notebook or web. A notebook archive is stored in monthly batches and is retrievable by emailing a command to the listserv server. This method is recommended for archives that are mainly for record keeping purposes or will have minimal use. A web archive includes a notebook archive, but also places each posting on a website dedicated solely to your listserv. This method is recommended if the archive will be reviewed on a regular basis.

No: Archiving is not needed for this listserv.
Notebook: Archive is stored in monthly batches retrievable via email.
Web: Archive is stored on a dedicated website and as a notebook (see previous selection).
