The members of the Big-8 Management Board would like to arrange a meeting
between ourselves and other Usenet Hierarchy administrators. We already
reached to a few hierarchy admins but in case any admins did not get an
email from me, this article will hopefully reach a few others.

The goal for this meeting would be a general meet-and-greet as well as to
discuss some challenges that we face such as getting news servers to honor
control messages.

We currently meet weekly on Fridays for video chat at 16:00 CEST/10:00
EDT. Please let me know if you would be interested in meeting with us one
week in August or September and what day would work for you.

Best Regards,
Jason Evans

Do you have any idea to improve the adoption of new PGP keys?
(especially the new one of the Big-Eight)

Did you notice that the latest control articles were not honoured on a
large portion of news servers?

Unfortunately, it seems that most commercial news servers and web
interfaces (like Google Groups) don't mind at all control messages...
And I don't think we can change their policy...

Could another timetable for at least one meeting date be feasible?
(19:00 or 20:00 CEST would suit me best as I may still be at work at 16:00)

I received your e-mail, thanks. I unfortunately was in holidays and
couldn't attend the meeting. Maybe for a next one?
I'll answer you in private for possible dates.
