[Sigmetrics] important notice about migration of the SIG MET listserv to a new platform!!!

[Loet Leydesdorff]

Dear colleagues,

Google groups offers an excellent alternative. I am ASIST member, but 
this is unpleasant behavior.

Most elegant is as the list-administrator brings us over in one copy and 
past. If necessary, I can also do it if you wish. Google takes care that 
everyone is invited. (I did it once before.)

ASIST probably has property rights of the archives. These remain for 
members only.

Best,
Loet
