The ROPA Internet Mailing List is intended to serve as an electronic forum for issues pertaining to ROPA orchestras. Member orchestras use the mailing list to compare contract language, to conduct surveys about conditions or circumstances in other ROPA orchestras, to share information regarding the orchestra industry, and to post information of interest to ROPA orchestra members.

The ROPA Internet Mailing List is open to all members of a ROPA orchestra, both full and associate. Persons affiliated with a ROPA orchestra, such as a Local officer, and interested persons affiliated with one of the other Player Conferences (ICSOM, OCSM, RMA, and TMA) will also be granted access to the email bulletin board, as will AFM staff members. Additionally, the ROPA Executive Board may grant access to other individuals who are interested in furthering the goals of ROPA.

The ROPA Executive Board retains the right to deny access to any person who abuses the privilege of accessing the ROPA Internet mailing list. Abuse shall be considered using the mailing list for a purpose other than that stated above. In particular, posting inflammatory language or using the mailing list for commercial purposes shall be considered abuse. Common courtesy and professional behavior is expected from all authorized users.

The mailing list administrator shall notify an individual when the ROPA Executive Board determines that the individual is abusing the mailing list. If the individual does not alter his/her behavior immediately upon receiving a warning, the administrator will remove the individual from the list of authorized users.

The ROPA Executive Board reserves the right to amend or change this policy statement without prior notice.
