<font face="Tahoma">I'm not sure having a meeting-specific mailing
list helps here, because it assumes that attendees will always
register.<br>
<br>
Brokers (and in particular, brokers who spam) can't be guaranteed
to register, or more specifically, follow the rules. They could
just show up as regular hotel guests, not register for the
conference, and reach out to AFRINIC members like they did me and
many others, to organize sidebar meetings, cocktails, dinners,
e.t.c. This, I believe, is far more likely than anything else
above-board.<br>
<br>
So the best defence is to equip the membership to not get caught
up in this whirlwind, should they be called to the side by the
brokers.<br>

many years ago, there were meeting-specific mailing lists, so
that <br>
meeting attendees could share taxi rides, find dinner
partners, or <br>
jogging trails, .. etc. without spamming regular mailing
lists. if you <br>
weren’t registered for the specific meeting (and presumably
onsite) <br>
you were saved from the span of “where is a nice place to .. “
type <br>
messages, which were only really contextually useful for
meeting <br>
attendees. the lists were killed shortly after the meeting.<br>
<br>
that process was unfortunately discontinued.<br>
