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

Wed Feb 28 01:45:11 EST 2018

Hi all,

It seems like they are actually working on a solution at ASIST to allow
non-members to access the new platform.
They (ASIST) are also not ready to roll out the changes yet, and more news
will be forthcoming.

So I suggest that we put this matter on the ice until we receive further
news from ASIST.

Best,
Philippe
