[epsi-coord] Scientific Consultation / Tender open data EU

Mon Jul 18 09:20:24 BST 2011

Dear Richard,

We will make sure to send out a message to our mailing list tomorrow then. Once the call for tenders is out, we combine the two news items into one mail and send it out.

Kind regards, Tom

I disagree for a number of reasons :

1) I think most people who have signed up to the mailing list would expect to get this sort of time-sensitive information without a deliberate delay built in
2)  many people (like me) are not yet on holiday
3)  many people (like me) read their emails while they are on holiday
4)  other people make arrangements for yet other people to read their emails while they are on holiday

please send a message straight away, and by all means also send a reminder on 20 August

All the above considerations apply to the call for tenders which will be published in the Official Journal tomorrow

Richard,

A bit of confusion here. We have not send an e-mail yet. I propose to wait to send the e-mail to our mailing list until around august, 20th.

Kind regards, Tom

I seem to have missed the email announcing the public consultation, or I would not have sent my last message  - could you check that I am on the mailing list ?

Dear Richard, Juan,

We can certainly continue addressing the Consultation on Scientific Information , and I am more then willing to send an e-mail to our mailinglist. Last friday we already published a news message on the consultation.

Due to the holidays, I suggest we wait for a bit, and send an e-mail when more people have returned to the workplace. Right now, a lot of people are on holidays, and our mail would likely disappear in the thousands of mails people encounter when returning from holiday. I imagine that sending an e-mail end of august would yield more results. Also, i wouldn't want to 'spam' the mailing list by sending an e-mail on this subject twice.

Hence, i propose the following:
- We'll make sure to put a message on the scientific information consultation on the homepage of the EPSI PLATFORM, for the coming weeks.
-  We'll send out a message to the mailing list around the 20th of august.
- We'll create one more news items on the consultation in a week or two.
-  We'll tweet about the consultation a number of times. Already we have had 15 re-tweets last week.

How do you feel about all of this?

Kind regards,

Tom Kronenburg

I have spotted this on the "News Highlights" on the platform Web site and on Twitter.

Are you also planning to send this information to the mailing list ? This seems to me to justify a special ad hoc message.

Richard
