Re: Calls for participation no longer allowed

Is it possible to create a separate list for Calls for participation and calls for papers and have them all posted on a website where they are categorized and where people can subscribe to either all posts or weekly summaries?
There is an obvious need for these news items, since NO websites exist that publish all CfP's (papers or participation) in ICT in general and semantic web, linked data, big data, data mining or the Internet of Things in particular.

 Dear all,

As you may recall, I recently asked members of this list and 
semantic-web@w3.org about attitudes to calls for participation [1].

Following that survey, the majority view is that:

1. CfPs are not welcome on this (public-lod@w3.org) list.

2. *Some* CfPs are tolerable on semantic-web@w3.org, especially if the 
string '[CfP]' appears in the subject line (for personal filtering).

I will write to the semantic-web list separately but for this list the 
rule is simple:

Calls for participation are not allowed on this list.

No exceptions.

None.

This is in line with other lists maintained by W3C that do not allow 
such posts.

Any future calls for participation posted to this list will be treated 
as spam.

Thanks

Phil
