    This is a very interesting and relevant point.  If we have to put our postal addresses on the Strata Roll for other owners to see (and we do) and we are supposed to provide email addresses for the service of documents, I can’t think of one good reason for not making our email addresses available to all other owners.

    Every so often in my block, someon forgets to put the B in front of the CC and we all get everyon’es email addresses. The smarter cookies sotore them away for such times as they want to get in touch with everyone without their message being filtered by the powers that be – and then all Hell breaks loose with someone on the strata committee screaming about “invasions of privacy”.

    An email is not an invasion of privacy.  At worst, it’s an irritating piece of junk that briefly gets in the way when you are trying to find the message with the location of the meeting for which you are already 10 minutes late.

    I would hope in the next review of strata law, email addresses on the strata roll will be mandatory.  Until then, all you can do is wait for the inevitable BCC screw-up.
