Email Charter Challenge

At this point, I welcome any emails that come my way. I'm a social creature, and I couldn't be more pleased to write someone back. HOWEVER, I have seen into the "inbox of my future" we'll say. I anticipate teaching, or being a part of the education system and the emails between parents, colleagues, school boards and administration can be overwhelming and so I am getting an early glimpse into handling what may be a chaotic future onslaught of messages.

Initially, I was going through the charter and making notes on each one, but then I think I would get excessively long winded and quite possibly commit some of the email no-nos on the blog. So I'll try and make this concise, or the "Sally version" of concise.

To combine 1 and 2 in relation to respecting time and short/slow response time:
I think that it is important to be considerate of the recipients time, and to make the email clear, and at the same time not feel like you need to reduce your content. Do say what you need to say, but do so in a way that makes sense and doesn't add any extra fluff. I don't think short emails are rude, however, I must say I do dislike taking the time to write someone only to receive a "K" or "Good." I need a little more enthusiasm than that. Will I always get it? Gosh no, but I can always hope for it. If someone seeks me out to send me an email, I will give what they have written the time it deserves, and the response that it requires.

4, Open Ended Q's: For the most part, I will disagree. I like to be asked what my thoughts are regarding whatever they have sent me. It gives me time to consider my opinion, or do some brainstorming. Usually that is ideal, but sometimes I don't know where to go with the leeway, and need to email back, or call to receive further clarity.

Lastly, I'll address the EOM and NNTR, I had no idea what they were until I read the description. They are crafty! But, I wonder how common the use of those are, would someone else know what I meant?  Has anyone seen this used commonly?

Overall, as a revision, I think the "Email Charter" is interesting, and makes some great/interesting points to consider when dealing with emails. I will keep this page book marked, or posted somewhere in the future. :)
