Subject: [AVT] Conference announcements

(As WG co-chair)

In general we try and discourage blanket conference announcements on IETF lists. Generally when this occurs, anyone on an IETF list ends up receiving multiple copies, amongst their already overloaded inboxes.

Generally the criteria for any such announcements should be that they progress work on one of our deliverables, because that is what the scope of our IETF mailing list is. In general, if you believe such an announcement is justified, then tell us (the list) how it does that as part of the announcement. It will make us all happier that we understand why the conference is important, and you will probably get a better result from this list by doing so.

If you feel the need to apologise because we are receiving a message multiple times, then in general you are probably outside this criteria, and certainly have not explained the relevance to AVT.

If you are in doubt, consult with the WG chairs.

Keith
