The ISO Mailing Lists

The ISO mailing lists were originally created to help Israelis at Stanford exchange information about Israel-related events and arrange for social activities.  It is maintained by the ISO student staff and a member of the community, on a voluntary basis.  Today, the general and marketplace lists consists of more than 1000 members from the entire Israeli community at the Bay Area.

List Structure

• The ISO maintains three email lists: ISO-general, ISO-marketplace, and ISO-students.  The lists are separate, and you must be a member of each one in order to post to it.
• ISO-general covers, by default, all areas not covered by the other two.  It is OK to use this list, for example, to announce events, seek people with a common interest (e.g., Israelis playing soccer), ask questions (e.g., about calling cards or Israeli food) or to get recommendations.  Please do not send political emails to the list (more about this below). ISO-general is located at

• Members of ISO-marketplace can post and read trade- and employment-related messages.  By that we mean all messages about babysitters, yard sales, cars trade, housing, nannies, openings in companies, tickets, catering services, etc. ISO-marketplace is located at

• The ISO-students list is intended for Stanford students and affiliates, and operates under these rules.  It is used to announce campus activities, ask Stanford-specific questions, etc.  We encourage all Israelis at Stanford to join this list.

Rules

List rules vary by list, so be sure to read the rules for a list before posting. In general, follow the rules of ISO-general when on any list. The most important rule is that politics are not allowed whatsoever on any list. Also, be sure you respect the list topics: for example, market stuff goes on ISO-marketplace, not on ISO-general. Violators of list rules will have their posts deleted and will be banned from future membership in a list.
