Good morning Tom,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While we openly support other associations within our industry, the email below is a bit rich. Surely you have a mailing list of the IAA membership through which you could promote an IAA member-only promotion. There are thousands of people on the AusNOG
list, most of whom would not be IAA members, so your email is unsolicited and irrelevant to them (i.e. SPAM).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you guys wish to cross-promote something like an event that would be of interest to the AusNOG list membership then we'd be happy to support that. But please do not send emails like the one below to this list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>David - on behalf of the AusNOG board</div>
<div>...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
