Many people have been complaining that they have not been getting invitations to Assembly meetings in their State. This has prompted some people to think that they are being excluded on purpose.
The problem appears to have been generated by a new privacy tab on the LRO which is intended to allow new ASNs to choose whether or not they wish to receive communications from their State Assembly.
As you are all aware, ASNs are NOT required to join their State Assembly, and can opt out of receiving communications from their State Assembly.
Unfortunately, this opt out option hasn't been officially and adequately explained to system users, and it has affected the accounts of existing State Assembly members, because the default setting of the new tab (active since August) is set at "no".
This results in existing members of the Assemblies not getting email invitations and links to meetings, and/or Assemblies not being able to contact people who are already members, and also new ASNs wondering why they aren't being invited to meetings they want to attend because they didn't understand that they were barring contact from the State Assembly in the first place.
Please bear with us as we get this straightened out.
The problem has surfaced in recent months, not only because of new ASNs choosing to opt out of Assembly membership and contacts, but because some Bad Actors have abused Assembly email lists to send out their own partisan opinions and "issues" to Assembly members, or even sell commercial products, none of which is authorized.
This creates the equivalent of Junk Mail and political advertising being sent in the name of the State Assemblies, and that is obviously a problem we are trying to solve.
