The move to the ASIST community platform brings up a few issues. From my point of view, the best move would be to take our list of members and create a new communication channel that doesn't require an ASIST membership. I have three questions for you: 1) Do you guys know if there might be a way to participate to the new community platform without being an ASIST member? This might be a question for ASIST, actually.... 2) If so, do you agree that SIGMET should create a new listserv outside of ASIST constraints and transfter our members to the new platform? 3) If so, do you have suggestions regarding this new listserv? All I can think of right now is a google group, but there might be other/better options. Cheers, Philippe -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Philippe publicly raised the possibility of moving the SIG MET listserv not to ASIST but to an independent venue that does not require ASIST membership for participation. (Or perhaps you mean to create a second, parallel listserv which goes both to ASIST as well as to outside participants??) I think it would be great to allow nonmembers to remain part of the group. However, there are some serious issues that need to be discussed among the officers. First, are we allowed to do this as part of our charter as a SIG? Is our role as a SIG to foster ASIST first, or the broad community first? By not requiring membership we are diminishing the potential numbers of ASIST (and SIG) members; viewed another way, the listserv could be viewed as an important reason to pay the membership fees. We are gaining benefits from ASIST and passing them on for free. So, Philippe, please read the charter and rules very carefully and let me know if this scheme will be permissible. If you think it is, then I will approach the hierarchy to ask for permission to set up a listserv that broadcasts beyond current members [or at least grandfathers in the existing audience]. Second, who is volunteering to host the non-ASIST listserv for a significant number of years into the future? Someone needs to step up and make a longterm commitment or else this is not a viable option. Third, does one need to be an ASIST member to join SIG MET? Possibly we can see if listserv participants can pay just the latter fee (and get just this benefit, without other benefits of SIG membership which ordinarily go with ASIST membership). All - let me know your thoughts. I think it is terrible that the migration will lose the majority of our audience, but on the other hand, they really should be ASIST members anyway?! I will separately write an email saying how to join ASIST and the SIG, regardless of the above. Neil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm asking because for all I know, they have not, and this makes me feel like this whole "migration to the new platform" fuss is a bit of a misunderstanding, or at least a bit premature. I have this impression because of the following answer from Lydia Middleton to Neil's inquiry about solutions for non-members: *I didn?t realize you were planning to communicate this just yet. We are still formulating options for non-member listserv members. The Board has approved a new membership category that we are currently building. * *Please let everyone know that we are not quite ready to roll out these changes yet but that more news will be forthcoming around how non-members can continue to engage with the SIG.* In any case, as I said in my last message to the listserv, I think we should put all this on the ice until we have received all necessary information and instructions from ASIST.

Would anybody be interested in doing such a presentation, or knows someone who mght? Isabelle, did you guys at SIG SM have a speaker in mind?
