Thanks, David. Shortly I will send out information on what we already do at renewal time to encourage opt-in. That doesn’t reach Life Members, of course – we’ll think about how to reach LMs in a cost-effective fashion and will welcome PSC’s thoughts (as well as those of anyone else). 73, Dave K1ZZ From: David Norris [mailto:k5uz@suddenlink.net] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2013 3:58 PM To: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Cc: arrl-odv Subject: Re: [arrl-odv:21467] Default email subscriptions TNX Dave!

They can opt out by unchecking the box. So, the question that the Programs & Services Committee should discuss is how to encourage members who are not already receiving the newsletters to opt into doing so. 73, Dave K1ZZ _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org http://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
