On my LISTSERV list, how can I transfer ownership to another person?

To transfer ownership of your LISTSERV mailing list, first add an owner to the list, and then remove yourself as owner. See On my LISTSERV list, how do I add an owner? and On my LISTSERV list, how can I modify the list header?

Note: Do not remove yourself as an owner until you verify that the new owner can access and modify the list header.

At Indiana University, you can also transfer ownership of a LISTSERV list if the owner has left the university and can no longer be contacted. To do so, a departmental director, manager, or secretary must email LISTSERV Support with the transfer request in the message. It should include the list name, plus the new owner's full name, department, campus phone and address, and email address.

Note: At IU, all LISTSERV lists must be owned by an individual with an active IU Network ID; see At IU, what are the usage standards for LISTSERV?
