	Hello Oleg, Important: This message describes changes to the Postini services bundled with Google Apps and the actions required of you as a Google Apps Reseller.  WHAT'S CHANGING We recently released new Gmail message-filtering features for Google Apps, including compliance footers, approved/blocked senders, attachment controls, and more. These features are comparable to those offered with Google Message Security.  The new offering makes it easier for Google Apps administrators to manage all their email settings in a single interface. As a result, we are no longer offering integrated Google Message Security (GMS) with Google Apps, and will require users to migrate their email filters settings to Apps.  YOUR CURRENT CUSTOMERS USING INTEGRATED GMS Current Apps customers with integrated GMS will be required to move their configuration settings to Google Apps policies and change their MX records to point to Gmail. Exceptions: Integrated GMS customers who have added Postini archiving or encryption services will not be migrated at this time. Actions Required  In early February, we'll begin emailing both reseller customers and direct customers with instructions on how to move their email filters from integrated GMS from Google Apps.  Note: Normally, we would not contact your customers directly. However, this migration requires contacting Google Apps administrators who use Postini integrated services so we can track their Postini service status, which is managed through our systems.  After the primary Google Apps administrator receives an automated migration notification from Google, they can access a special Transition tab in the Postini Admin Console that walks them through the migration process. Customers will be notified in batches beginning in February, and customers will be given 45 days to migrate their settings. If customers do not take action, their email will be routed directly to Gmail without any filtering through Postini. Completion of the migration for all customers from the integrated GMS to Google Apps settings is targeted  the end of June 2012. See the FAQ link at the end of this message for details on the migration steps and schedule. Action: We request that you notify your customers immediately before they receive the automated email from Google. Following is the template you can customize: => Template Email to send to your integrated GMS customers now YOUR CURRENT CUSTOMERS USING INTEGRATED GMS  Your current customers using the standalone Message Security service with Google Apps will not be affected by this migration process.   YOUR NEW CUSTOMERS  Your new customers should use the email-filtering capabilities in Google Apps. No Postini services needed.  Exceptions: You may continue to order Postini services for your Google Apps customers who require: Delivery manager (email routing) capabilities TLS encryption Message archiving There are no changes to the ordering process or pricing; add the $0 GMS product and purchase the additional services to your Google Apps order as usual.  MORE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES We realize that this is a significant change, and we appreciate your assistance with the transition. Over the coming months, we will continue to enrich Google Apps email with new features, including split delivery and encryption options.

Changes to Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

Subject: Changes to Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

				Is this email not displaying properly? View it in your browser.
Dear Google user, We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google. We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.
One policy, one Google experience
Easy to work across Google Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.		Tailored for you If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.		Easy to share and collaborate When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.
Protecting your privacy hasn't changed Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).		Got questions? We've got answers. Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)
Notice of Change March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.
