 I hope this is not the start of a new pattern of behaviour because that
would not be…good to put it mildly.


What exactly is "not good" about ARIN emailing about the ARIN Public Policy
and Members meeting, to email addresses on file related to ARIN assigned
resources?

At 14:01 and 14.46 EST I received two identical emails from
meetings () arin-events net with the subject “Join us for ARIN 52 in
October”. One was sent to the NOC POC address and one to the abuse POC
address for my ASN.

As far as I am aware, I never signed up for whatever that mailing list is
and if I did I wouldn’t subscribe to it on those addresses. Furthermore, I
am not seeing an unsubscribe button on either email. That makes both
messages spam.

Considering I’ve never received messages like those from ARIN on those
addresses, I’ll give ARIN the benefit of the doubt and say someone
accidentally imported the wrong list of emails into their MSP. I hope this
is not the start of a new pattern of behaviour because that would not
be…good to put it mildly.
