<br>
supposedly we have the first ChAC call in a few days (still have not see a formal invitation). Lets hope the call goes so well, it is full of ideas and we can motivate a great deal of volunteers to keep working on Cross Chapters issues, that we may congratulate ourselves afterwards for the time spent online.<br>

best regards<br>

Dear chapter delegates,<br>
<br>
great things are happening. BOT elections, chapter leaders get elected and many of us want to express their enthusiastic appreciation and **congratulate** the winners. They don't address them in person since there is this wonderful Chapter-delegates mailing list. Writing to the list will reach the addressees and has the wonderful side effect that other members of the list can participate and learn 100+ ways to say "**congratulations**" in English. Frankly I think has a much bigger potential than we use today. Since I don't have the exact figures and my math is not very good I'll work with some reasonable assumptions for an estimation of what we could achieve.<br>
<br>
Let's assume there are 120 chapters, Let's further assume there are 4 officers av. of each chapter on chapter delegates. Let's assume further that every chapter has a 2 years election period. And lets assume that every member on the chapters delegates list due-fully sends **congrats** to the list after an election. So here the calculation:<br>
<br>
120/2 elections/year * 400 chapter delegates (sender) * 400 chapter delegates (receiver) = 9.6Mio mails a year or 27K mails per day or 18 mails per minute. Looking at the **congrats** traffic we generate today I state:<br>
<br>
1. we are good<br>
2. we could do more<br>
3. we are steadily improving<br>
Just **90%** of the most recent 50 mails on Chapter-delegates were of type **congrats**. Not only to further improve this value and approach the estimated max but also to avoid conflicts with all ignorant participants on the list, who consider messages of type **congrats** as a subclass of type **spam** I'd like to propose to have a mailing list dedicated to this type of messages.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions for tutorials and other educational means on how to use this mailing list - once it is set up - for messages of type **congrats** are very welcome.<span class=""><br>
<br>
Looking forward ...<br>
