RE: The IETF 66 Attendees Alias

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ray,

	May I make a suggestion for the next time around?

	How about if the registration page asks if you want
to be subscribed to this list?

	As I understood it, this experiment was performed at
the request of people on the ietf discussion mailing list.
That list is _not_ the appropriate place to talk about 
cookie shortages, mail and netowrk problems and issues with
the hotel, _either_.

	Since the registration page already has a number of
questions it ask about things we might or might not want to 
do.  Why not add one more - and assume the default answer 
is "no"?

	I like the idea of having a separate list because it
allows me to decide quickly what I can safely ignore most
of the time.
