I've been getting some feedback from group members who would prefer to receive notifications of each ethics event via the Group Notices, rather than simply through The Ethics Group IM channel.

The Group Notices would get sent out in the blue windows in the top-right corner of your screen when you're online, and also could be set to be sent to your email address when you're offline (if you decide to set Send IM to Email via Edit menu -> PREFERENCES -> COMMUNICATION tab).

I was hesitant to "spam" the group with Group Notices, but I wanted to ask you all what you think.

Please note that you can make multiple choices and your responses will NOT be anonymous. Your SL name will show next to your choice if you vote in the poll, so that it's clearer to me which respondents are actually members of The Ethics Group.

Tho joyful, SL can be busy and distracting. notices help us to remember the event, and they offer the sender/organizer a way to provide deeper info if desired. thanks for asking. ;)
Too bad we can't calendar and map events in SL...

I think it is helpful to receive these notices at least a day in advance. As a new resident in SL, and a new member of the Ethics Group, (and I'm not very computer-literate just yet!) I think it's most helpful to have these notices well in advance to give me time (when I'm not attending to RL issues) to find out how to navigate my way around. Just my personal preference!
