Correct, it's an announcement list. I want to avoid people missing important announcements due to discussion.

their intent was to avoid clogging up this list with their own internal discussions.
I guess the opposite was the intent. Rather they wanted at a list where they could send notices that would be moderated/curated and slightly easier to join/leave. (maybe also lower volume vs. this list) Not a place for internal discussions or to avoid clogging *this* list.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the clarification. :-) Please could you comment on the privacy issues here? It’s not obvious who has access to the information collected by accessing the tinyletter page (there’s no privacy link on it, and it’s not obvious that you’ll be taken to a non-Wikimedia page by clicking on the subscription link on the registration page), nor that collected by completing the form.
Thanks, Mike

Also, as my links demonstrated mailman can be customized. Maybe would be better to make this one extra mailman list.

Hi, this looks great: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/multimedia
No problem with migrating back to a Wikimedian list. Would anyone like to volunteer to set up wikimania-announce-l and re-skin it to match the Wikimania 2014 branding?
