Accessing your groups

There are a few ways to access your groups. You can go through the links to individual groups on the landing page (also known as All Groups) or click the My Groups tab to get a list of groups that you are a member of. The list showing All Groups is sorted alphabetically and the My Groups list is sorted by the most recent activity.

Click on a group name to get a feed of recent activity associated with that e-group (not available for closed groups unless you are a member). You can click on the Topics tab to get a full list of the group’s topics. Scroll down the list to find the topic you are interested in and click the topic’s title to access the discussion. You can also create a topic here.

Alternatively, if you receive a notification of a recent post to a group, there will be a link in the email that will take you directly to the topic that has been updated.

The Notification Centre located within the e-groups platform will also alert you to new comments and topics in your groups. You can click on each notification to be taken directly to the comment/topic.

You can join a moderated group in the same way, however, you will not be able to contribute to any topics until your membership is approved by the Group Manager.

You may be invited to join a closed e-group via email or alternatively you can contact the Secretariat for further guidance about joining a closed group.
