Folks; I understand the utility and need for the administrative staff to have a mailing alias for all registered delegates for the 66th IETF event. However, in all the meetings I have attended - which is more than a few, but less than most of you - I have never been deluged with such a volume of non-critical announcements in my main inbox. I hope that people will understand my strong desire and sympathize with my point of view when I request that all general IETF messages be posted uniquely to the IETF general list and that this address be reserved only for the critical or emergency announcements by the administrative staff. One step better would be for this address to be moderated so we no longer receive various complaints about water closets and wifi unless we seek them out on the IETF discussion lists. :-) Perhaps if there is a strong desire to have a 'hallway or watercooler style' list for discussions pertaining uniquely to IETF 66 attendees, we could create a NEW mailing list that is OPT-IN called 66attendees-chat (or similar) at ietf.org. I'd even volunteer to set one up (at a different domain of course) for the duration of IETF 66. My sincere apologies if I have misunderstood the purpose of the 66attendees address but my BlackBerry is going crazy with things that I would not normally choose to have in my commercial, corporate email box. Respectfully, Alan Hawrylyshen _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
