Hi Olaf,

(-1 on using .gle, but we'll fight that battle another time. :p)

+10 for making this an open call for self-nominations to serve as a PC 
member. Conference organisers and journal people, please take note!


I am among those who do not want to receive generic, unsolicited private 
emails with undisclosed recipients from organisers requesting me to work 
for free - especially as part of a system that forces the scientific 
community to waive their rights, funnels absurd amounts of taxpayer 
money into the pockets of the ultra-rich, tracks scholars' data, and 
passes it on to authoritarian systems.

The dominant practice in this community (and many others) of passing 
around a database of names and email addresses without consent is 
unacceptable. Delete your database. Do better.
