Dear Drawing Researchers, some advice please.
As you may know, the Drawing Research Network is a loose association of
drawing researchers, academics, students and practitioners who meet once or
twice a year. Additionally, the Network has provided a means for lots of
other local initiatives, meetings etc. The Drawing Research JISCmail list
is an email discussion group that was initially set up to assist
communication in the Network but new members of this email list may know
nothing of the Network (and possibly vice versa). Not everybody chooses to
belong to both and currently there are two separate membership lists.
I would like to know if we should maintain two separate databases of members
or one combined list? This question arises because some members -
particularly new members - of the discussion list seem to expect information
about the Network (notification of meetings, agendas, minutes etc). Members
of the Network may or may not wish everything to be published on the
discussion list. Notification of Network meetings uses is own email
circulation list.
The new Drawing Research Network website (to be launched mid October) could
help in that it can show current list(s) of members with their email
addresses, provide access to minutes, etc etc but the issue of separate or
combined membership lists should be determined by the members.
I realise I am posting to the discussion group membership but, for now at
least, most members of the Network are members of the discussion list.
Advice gratefully received.
Regards Steve Garner.
