[rfu-membership] Membership Meeting Notes, Jan. 13, 2008

[RANDALL R HAWKINS]

I really do not understand the system of e-mail lists at all.  Where can I easily go to be reminded of what all the many lists are, and the purpose of each?

  Noel,
I'm OK either way about which list to send missed show notices to. The 
thing is that if everyone missing shows actually sent proper notice, 
it's going to overwhelm the general discussion list and there will be 
even fewer people subscribed to it than currently. The most important 
things is to send them consistently to one place.

My idea about using the Membership list for the missed meeting notices 
is so that they are concentrated on the relevant list. With automation, 
there is no dead air. The problem is that unless we get this fixed, 
there will be NO air for anyone soon!

As for any specific show missing a few times, I'm much more worried 
about the overall trend than individual performance. And I certainly 
don't want to fault Janice, as she is doing her best with the mess that 
the station membership as a whole is handing her. We should try to 
concentrate on getting a plan to fix the entire issue, rather than what 
any individual show is doing or not doing.

I suspect that your 6 is due to sending a miss notice that covered 
multiple weeks over the break. But you should have gotten credit for at 
least one miss, so maybe we're not looking everywhere the messages were 
logged. We should remember that the best place to track these is at the 
list archives, either:
http://lists.chambana.net/cgi-bin/private/rfu/
or
http://lists.chambana.net/mailman/archive/rfu-membership/

I do know that I delete any miss notices sent to RFU-station. That just 
is not a good list to use or we'll have trouble keeping people on it. I 
don't think it's a burden to ask those wanting to fill miss shows, 
either the gen discussion list or memmbership to look someplace special.
