Alumnus e-mail Factsheet
A question that has recently slipped over the threshold to become Frequently Asked is that of JANET customer organisations issuing e-mail addresses in their .ac.uk domains to former students when they graduate. The policies for JANET and the .ac.uk domain don't prevent that, but there are a number of practical, technical and legal issues to think about. For example what services to provide, how to cope with a much greater number of people entitled to addresses, whether including alumni is likely to damage the reputation or technical performance of the current e-mail service, what legal and policy issues might arise, and so on.
With a lot of help from JISClegal and members of the JANET community who have suggested issues and solutions, we've now published a new factsheet on E-mail Addresses for Alumni to discuss this area. Thanks to all contributers, even if they don't realise they contributed!
