New email system: @auroville.community

As the security and accessibility of the @auroville.org.in email system has been compromised for a year, the Working Committee of the Residents’ Assembly (RA-WCom) has invited all Aurovilians, Newcomers and Friends of Auroville to join a new workspace and email system @auroville.community. “We believe that free, private and accessible communication is a prerequisite to any form of community-led development,” wrote the RA WCom. “The management of this domain will remain a-political, and no other domains will be blacklisted in an attempt to censor dissenting opinions. Our administrators are known and trusted members of the community who have signed Non-Disclosure Agreements to protect the privacy of users. We trust this is a needed step in allowing our community to regain its autonomy in communication, and continue to move closer to its original ideals and aspiration, as envisioned by the Mother.” The system can integrate existing @auroville.org.in, @gmail.com or other email IDs.’
