No, it’s not 802.11’s practice. The request to do so did occur recently twice, and Bruce asked for staff guidance. The response included: “is if an alias has been set up/its intent or use is for standards development work within
the community (this case 802) that it may not be appropriate to use it for "commercial" reasons/information. That said, there may be external events that align with and/or are relevant to standards work being done in a group and sharing the information makes
sense, and will not offend the subscribers on the list.” As this was part of a private reply I won’t attribute the quote.

On Behalf Of Pat Thaler My opinion would be that our reflectors shouldn’t be used for that. It would become very difficult to draw the line between what may
and may not be advertised. I don’t recall a case where the reflectors I’m usually on have been used to advertise such a meeting. Has it typically been allowed on the 802.11 reflectors? From:

Hello all, One question that came up in 802.11 was whether a reflector could be used to advertise a commercial meeting, such as a trade conference, and whether this can be done was dependent on whether the conference was organized by IEEE or by some other body.

On Behalf Of Pat Thaler Resending with the C-word modified. Please reply to this rather than the original email so your response doesn’t need moderator approval. From:

On Behalf Of Pat Thaler The following is a proposed statement on IEEE 802 reflector policy – with thanks to David Law for providing the IEEE 802.3 reflector policy from which this is
mostly stolen. I’ve got mixed feelings about including whining and whinging in the list of inappropriate behavior. Conceptually, I like it but, it may be too subjective so for now I’ve got it struck through. --------------------------- IEEE 802 reflectors shall only be used for official business relating to IEEE 802 and its sub-groups. Technical discussions/questions, comments on presentations
and documents, meeting announcements, etc., are acceptable uses of a reflector. Communications are expected to be respectful, dignified, and germane.
IEEE 802 reflectors are not 'free speech' forums. Subscriptions are granted to further the purposes of IEEE 802 and may be revoked for inappropriate communications.
These include: recruiting, advertising, soliciting, spamming, flaming, IEEE 802 operates in an open manner. To that end, no material submitted to IEEE 802, or any of its sub-groups, will be accepted or considered if it contains any
statement that places any burden on the recipient(s) with respect to
confid--tiality or copyright. Any communication, including electronic mail, containing language with such restrictive wording will not be accepted or considered.
Note - this policy regarding
confid--tiality and copyrights does not apply to IEEE copyrighted materials or copyrighted materials received from liaisons with other organizations, such as draft standards.
In addition, IEEE 802 reflectors operate under the IEEE Acceptable Use Practices <http://eleccomm.ieee.org/email-aup.shtml>.
The Chair of the group to which a reflector is dedicated shall enforce these policies.
