Change the sponsor of an IU List mailing list

Usually the person (or account) who creates a new IU List mailing list adds themselves as a privileged owner. All privileged owners with valid University accounts are considered to be the list’s sponsors. Lists may have multiple owners and moderators, but only privileged owners with a valid University account can rename or close a mailing list.

Each list should always have at least one privileged owner with a valid University account. A list without a privileged owner is considered inactive, and if a new privileged owner is not set, the list will be removed during the annual list cleanup. If there is only one privileged owner, that owner must have a valid University account, see About Inactive IU Lists.
