Dear all,
I just read this listserv thread and I am shocked. As the one who was responsible for this listserv for several years and who also migrated the listserv from its old home (at Gretchens department) to ASIS&T I pledge for keeping the listserv as it is. As far as I know the SIGMet list was always independent from the ASIS&T SIGMet-group (i.e. ASIS&T membership was not required for joining) and it is one of the largest and most active listservs from ASIS&T.

I suggest to discuss this issue with ASIS&T headquarter. I am also happy to support this.

Best
Isabella

I’ve found this the most valuable part of the annual meeting for several years now—but if the SIG isn’t part of ASIS&T, this may not be possible—unless there are two interdigitated groups—an ASIS&T SIG and another group, with a membership overlap.

New membership can then be by approval or open, and the messages can be set up as publicly viewable or only by members. It is simple and flexible.

As Christina said, this is a shame since our listservs has more than a thousand members and contributors, many of which are not members of ASIST or Sig Metrics. As she also pointed out, I think we should look for an alternative solution to maintain this communication channel open and relatively free of organizational constraints (perhaps a google group?). Your suggestions are most welcome.
