This list is for the discussion and sharing of advice about how to start your own polyamory group and how to manage the groups you already have.

This group is Not openly listed on Yahoo; we will gain members only by word of mouth, so mention the group's existence to those you think might benefit, those who want to start their own polyamory group or who already coordinate a polyamory group.

Polyamory groups that you coordinate could be
- regional (for a particular city, state, or region)
- for a particular special interest (poly jews, poly democrats, etc.)
- for politics or activism for polyamory

Appropriate list topics:
- asking for or giving advice on group management issues
- posting email list topic ideas related to polyamory for list owners to start discussions on their lists
- posting polyamory resources that can be used to disseminate to the lists we moderate
- how to set up or plan face to face socials or meetings for your members
- dealing with such issues as dues, ruling bodies of your group, creating rules, managing flamers, managing difficult list topics, etc.
- ideas for advertising for new members
- ideas for providing public outreach
- advice on how to make all members/new members feel welcome
