Reported by John Beck, SunSoft
· Discussion of whether or not e-mail ads should be labeled
· Advertisers are dis-incented to label: it will only encourage filtering or deletion.
· Good advertisers are punished just the same as bad advertisers.
· (a bunch of general discussion ensued leading to)
· Rough consensus that expecting labeling is unrealistic, and the best we can ask for is to make the content clear, and the Subject: header not to be misleading.
· Discussion of adverts-00.txt
· Wordsmithing
· Discussion of consequences: how discouragement should be worded, what tone should be taken, ...
· Various instances of more concise wording suggested.
· Example for "Know your target audience" suggested.
· Do/Don't lists suggested a la fashion magazines.
· Suggestion to mention other countries to point out how US-centrism invalidates many marketing approaches, and advertisers might be breaking laws that they're not aware of.
· Since we're hoping to avoid having to meet in Chicago, a fair amount of work will have to occur on the list before then.
