This document was adopted by the Board in September 2016 on recommendation by the Development Group, replacing the Freegle Direct Information Policy.

There are several places where Freegle nationally may hold group membership lists:

  • on Freegle Direct
  • via Modtools, which includes Yahoo only member email addresses
  • on spreadsheets or similar documents as backup information

The right for Freegle to use these membership lists to establish a new group will only be exercised in the following circumstances:

Permission can be gained by emailing the Yahoo group -owner address or the group contact address for the group volunteer team, and acted upon with:

  • explicit permission from one Volunteer,

and

  • implicit permission from other Volunteers, i.e. assume consent if no conflicting replies are received within 3 weeks (reminder sent after 2 weeks within that period).

This procedure includes groups which have chosen to leave Freegle or been disaffiliated.

OR

Implicit permission through lack of constructive communication from group Volunteers during the Abandoned Groups Procedure.

Volunteers are assumed to be those who receive emails to the Yahoo group -owner address, or the group contact address for the group volunteer team.
