meeting/deadlineannouncements
Point
3.1.3 of RFC 1855 (Netiquette Guidelines), 1995 [1] :
"- Send mail when
an answer to a question is for one person
only.
Remember that News has global
distribution and the whole world
probably is
NOT interested in a personal response. However,
don't
hesitate to post when something will be
of general interest to the
Newsgroup
participants."
Just replace "News" with Mailing List, and "mail" with
personal mail, as
this was crafted for long gone Usenet. But it's the same
thing.
Also of interest, and in the same line, is the "Me Too" advice
just above
this one. :)

announcements

> Hi Wikimedia-l and Wikitech-l,
>
>
Keeping in mind the large numbers of subscribers on some Wikimedia email
>
lists, the endless valuable uses for the time of knowledgeable volunteer
>
Wikimedians, the significant financial costs for the time of many of the
>
staff and contractors on these mailing lists, and how packed calendars
can

for
> Wikimedia-l and Wikitech-l in particular.
>
> 1. When
planning to have a one-time public meeting, announce it at least 14
> days
in advance to give everyone who might like to participate that much
> lead
time to clear space on their calendars. Rarely is a one-time public
>
meeting so urgent that it cannot wait 14 days from the day that it is
>
announced.
>
> 2. Send a maximum of one reminder email regarding a
one-time public
> meeting, and also send a maximum of one reminder email
regarding events
> with deadlines such as Wikimania scholarship
submissions or conference
> presentation proposals. More than one reminder
about a meeting or deadline
> is excessive.
>
> 3. If
extending a deadline, send only an announcement of the extension with
> no
additional reminder.
>
> 4. Send only one email to announce a
recurring weekly meeting, with no
> additional reminders. Meetings which
recur less often, such as biweekly or
> monthly, may continue to be
announced with one additional reminder.
>
> At this time these are
proposals only. Comments are welcome. If the
> comments become extensive
then I may request that we move the conversation
> to
Meta.
