Fwd: Welcome to the "Marketing" mailing list

Thu Nov 17 19:06:49 UTC 2011

To echo what Betty said and address an unspoken concern:

"marketing at nanog.org" is the mailing list (and external interface?)
for the folks who make sure that there are good cookies and other
break goodies, beer-n-gear sponsors, meeting hosts, etc.  It is most
assuredly not a spamming list, which I suppose is probably what went
through folks' minds when they got that email.  I know that's what I
would be wondering if I randomly got that kind of mail with no
background info.  If you've ever been unfortunate enough to manage
Mailman, you're probably as astonished as I am that this sort of pilot
error doesn't happen more often.  :-)

Now that that's out of the way, if you think you might have something
to contribute to the community (marketing or otherwise) they're always
looking for volunteers...  so maybe you *want* to be on that mailing
list - the community will be grateful.
