[Businessmtg] List Administrator Report

[Lynne]

Hello everyone,

I am keeping track of a few measures of our membership and share them 
every meeting.  This information can be useful in seeing the health of 
ASP and to spot any significant movements up or down. Here are some 
graphs:

1. The number of members at ASP as of December 31, 2023 is 861.

2. The number of people who unsubscribe each month.

3. The number of unique people who share each month.

4. The number of shares/day (the total shares per month divided by the 
number of days in the month). This is the only one I can easily gather 
historical numbers on, so this goes back to January 2019. This starts at 
January 2019 (1/19) then goes to January 2020 (1/20), etc. each dot is 
one month in the year. The last 2 dots on the right are November and 
December 2023.

One note -  while there are 861 members subscribed, only about 120 share 
in any given month. There could also be many more that read the shares. 
It has been over 3 years since Steve, as List Administrator, did the 
last purge of inactive members. I am considering doing this in the next 
couple months. What this entails is sending several emails over a period 
of weeks to all members asking them to simply reply to the email to keep 
their subscription active. And those that don't reply will be 
unsubscribed.

Please let me know if there are any other metrics that you would find 
useful to keep track of over time or any questions about the ones I 
shared. Otherwise, things were pretty quiet and routine the last couple 
months from the list administrator perspective.

Hugs,

Lynne
