<div>I agree this is a good

probably best to have separate

(even if managed through the
same MailChimp account).<input

<div>"tech" things that have
regular bills are usually
"owned" by SAC or at least SAC
owns the paying the bill

Managing the account seems
like a conference committee

think this is a great

also be great if some
"best practices" and
how-to materials
accompanied this
transition (e.g., how to
create a new campaign,
how to open access to
individual conferences
[e.g., there might be
two conferences using
the list concurrently],
etc.). The only downside
I see is that the list
could potentially erode
due to opt outs
emanating from regional
events hitting the whole
list. For instance, if
I'm in the USA and I
start getting lots of
emails for European
events, I may choose to
opt out, and then I'd be
off the global list too.
Or, perhaps, a best
practice would be to
require/strongly suggest
regional filtering for
regional events, i.e.,
in my European event
example, they'd filter
to only mail to European
countries.</div>

<div>Dear
colleagues,<br>
<br>
I hope my
email finds
you well. I
will like to
ask your
opinion on a
item that can
be associated
with the
Conference
Committee. At
least since
Boston, the
various LOC of
FOSS4G global
are using
MaiChimp [1]
for
communication
with potential
participants,
register
participants
and the
sponsors. The
account is
passed from
one LOC to
another
without any
formal
agreement.
There are more
than 5000
contacts
subscribed to
this channel,
all past
participants
at FOSS4G
international
or FOSS4G-NA.
All agreed to
be subscribed
and receive
communication
from
OSGeo/LOCs
regarding
FOSS4G topics.
Compliance
with GDPR [2]
is also
assured.<br>
<br>
My question to
you if is not
better to have
OSGeo take
over this
account and
provide access
to FOSS4G
LOC's. Why I'm
saying this:<br>
<br>
1. By having
no formal way
of handling
this there is
a chance to
loose the
account
(lists,
templates,
campaigns
reports, etc)
in case of bad
communication
among the
LOC's.<br>
<br>
2. The account
is not a big
financial
burden for the
LOC (approx
77$/month) but
at transition
time some
glitches can
occur. E.g.
last year,
Mark paid for
1-2 months
from his
pocket because
BLOC was slow
to react and
replace his
card in the
account
settings. This
can be avoid
if OSGeo take
care of the
account.<br>
<br>
3. The account
can be also
used by the
important
regional
FOSS4G events
like FOSS4G-NA
and
FOSS4G-Europe.
There are
mechanism to
have separate
campaigns and
target the
subscribes
geographically.<br>
<br>
Of course, no
LOC can be
forced to use
MailChimp for
communication
purposes. Is
just an idea,
in the context
os OSGeo
budget
discussion, to
make things
easy for the
future LOCs.
What do you
think?<br>
