To echo what Betty said and address an unspoken concern: "marketing@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. -R (former Board, fomrer MLC) "Betty Burke <betty@nanog.org>" <betty@newnog.org> writes:
Everyone:
This was truly just a honest mistake on my part. You are all right, should not have happened and I apologize.
Marketing@nanog.org is a list used in connection with Sponsorship inquiries/activity. refer to http://www.nanog.org/sponsors/ Membership of marketing@nanog.or is the Development Committee and NANOG Staff.
As I indicated, I was planning to update the members@nanog,org list, and just happened to be in the wrong interface.
All best. Betty

Can someone explain this one to me?
1. Why was such a list created? 2. Why was I automatically subscribed to it? 3. Why was this done without notice to the community?
Thanks, This has a lot of us wondering the same as Owen. This is also not typical of how NANOG does things. Hopefully as the day
