For what it's worth, as an ordinary list member, I would like to be
informed on events being held in my area of work (DP & FOI) and if
details are submitted following Tim's eminently sensible and reasonable
rules, I think that these postings should be allowed to continue.

Subject: [data-protection] Commercial use of this List
For the avoidance of doubt, we do not expect or permit mass use of this
list
for commercial matters.
We accept as a long time honoured practice that members with *relevant*
commercial offerings will post them to the list as follows:
*
They are a contributor. That means that they ask or answer
questions. Their presence is thus valued and valuable non-commercially
*
They make one, single, simple, non-intrusive post about their
commercial item to the list, ideally with a reference to detailed
information at a specific deep-linked URL on their website
Commercial offerings include matters such as:
*
Calls for papers for future commercial events (such things are
often
sales pitches for the events as well)
*
Paid or free events
*
Products or services, even directly relevant to this list
Those (such as I am) with a commercial interest in Data Protection
should
also take special care when linking to their own websites that the
subject
matter is relevant, or it may be judged to be spam.
Those whose behaviour aggravates other list members will, in the first
instance, find that all their messages are sent to the list owners for
review prior to posting. This is intended to discourage blatantly
commercial use of this list. The moderators will use judgement about
the
messages that will be allowed through.
It is not intended to remove users from the list for making genuine
errors,
but persistent misuse will lead to normal formal sanctions in accordance
with normal netiquette
