1. Electronic Newsletter (IEEETOR E-News) questions
1.1 Why is my email address on the mailing list?
Either because you are IEEE Toronto section member, or we received your email from another
institution (e.g., school, cooperating organization, etc.) which indicated that you might
be interested in our activities. In any case, it is not our intention to send the
newsletter to someone who does not want it. If you do not want to be on the list, see
the next question.
1.2 How do I subscribe or unsubscribe?
Go to http://www.tor.ieee.ca/newsletter.htm,
enter your email address in the box, select "subscribe" or
"unsubscribe", and click "submit" button. Please send email to webmaster.toronto@ieee.org if you have
difficulties.
1.3 I tried to unsubscribe, by the script tells me that my
address is not on the list. What now?
Chances are, you are trying to unsubscribe a different address that the address on our
list. If you are using other addresses, try another one (in general, the address you gave
when you applied for IEEE membership should do). The script which handles (un)subscription
requests is case sensitive - try to type your address in upper/lower case. Please realize
that you might have email alias you are not aware of, and this alias might be on our list.
For example, IEEE executive of CertainCity might have adress ieee-certaincity-exec@majordomo.ieee.org.
To check under which address your received the newsletter, look at the full header of your
message (see below).
I all of the above fails, please send email to webmaster@tor.ieee.ca
describing your problem. Please include the full header of the email
message you received from us. Header is the initial part of the message, looking like
this:
Return-path: <torsect@sympatico.ca>
Envelope-to: torsect1@interlog.com
Delivery-date: Mon, 1 Oct 2001 22:23:22 -0400

( ... )
etc. etc. Your email program should have "show all headers"
or "show full header" function.
1.4 I am getting duplicate messages. Why?
You are subscribed twice. Try to unsubscribe one of your addresses (see the previous
question).
1.5 I want to change my subscription address. How to do this?
Simply unsubscribe your old address, and subscribe the new one.
2. IEEE membership questions
2.1 How do I become a member of IEEE?
2.2 How do I update my postal address, email, etc.
The volunteers of IEEE Toronto cannot provide any help in matters of Membership. In
particular, those seeking references for membership application, membership upgrade, or
other reasons, should approach Members able to provide the reference, that is, IEEE
Members familiar with them and their work. IEEE Toronto cannot provide references.
Attending chapter meetings is one of the best way to get to know IEEE Members and IEEE
Senior Members, who will then be able to provide references when required.
