Service Types - Collaboration Support

LNO maintains a mailing list server which allows members of the LTER Network community to have electronic discussion groups. LNO supports group mailing lists for all standing committees, ad-hoc committees, topical interest groups, and synthesis working groups that request. These lists are all of the form "groupname"@LTERnet.edu. These lists are restricted and protected from UBE (unwanted bulk email) and malware by spam and virus scanners. Lists can be configured to keep archives, which are backed up and accessible for the life of the list. Lists can also be public or private.

LNO can host and facilitate video teleconferences via polycom or like technology on standard protocols for committees and working groups. LNO and UNM maintain a 48 port teleconferencing bridge that can support simultaneous multi-site meetings.
