The last day to create a new CalMail mailing list is April 21, 2016. Your next opportunity to create a mailing list will be April 27, 2016 as part of the bConnected Lists service. CalMail lists created within subdomains are not impacted at this time.
CAUTION: Do not create Google Groups using “groups.google.com”. UC Berkeley’s bConnected Lists will be created via Manage Your Lists
If you see the following message:
you are creating a group in the consumer version of Google Groups. Consumer Google Apps are not subject to the agreements that UC Berkeley has in place with Google regarding privacy, security, government access, and support.
Beginning on April 27, 2016, you can create a bConnected List, which is fully supported by UC Berkeley and is covered by our contractual agreement with Google, starting from lists.berkeley.edu.

Note: It is not possible to migrate a group created in the consumer version of Google Groups to bConnected Lists.
