[extropy-chat] WTA-BOARD: Authorized selling mailing lists

[Harvey Newstrom]

I don't know why Giulio doesn't remember deciding that WTA can sell or 
rent our subscriber lists for money.  This issue came up when Wilson 
Quarterly wanted to buy or rent our subscription lists.  As far as I 
can tell, everybody claimed that WTA is allowed to sell or rent its 
lists to groups deemed to be of Transhumanist interest.  We even added 
a checkbox to the join page to opt in or out of this.

My name is Cristina Lombillo, and I am writing on behalf of The Wilson
Quarterly.  We wanted to know if you have lists of members or 
subscribers
available for rent or exchange.  We can send you a sample direct mail 
piece,
if you like.

How many names do you have?  Do you have a list manager or do we deal 
with
you directly?  How much would it cost?  What do we need to do to test 
your
list in our next direct mail?

Please let me know if there is anything you can do, or point me to the
proper contact person.

Thank you,
Cristina Lombillo

We have a request here form Wilson Quarterly who obviously want to send 
a
transhumanism-specific mailing to our members, advertising Carl Elliot's
article.

Pursuant to our decision last fall to ask permission to share their
addresses with other Transhumanist organizations, do you think this
promotion would fit that category for the members who said we could 
share
their addresses?

Or should I offer to email any promotions to our members ourselves?

Yes, I think this would be a legitimate sharing of those addresses.

It sounds like from their email that they want to have the names on a
permanent basis, I'm not sure that fits in with our mandate. We might be
better to offer to mail it ourselves adding that coming from us would
probably mean that more people on our list are likely to read it.
