Off by default, with the per-user option of turning reminders on. As a
result I suspect <5% of users will want a reminder.
The spare CPU cycles on the 1st of every month can be used to mine
bitcoins for the purchase of IETF meeting break cookies with greater
quantities of chocolate chips.

Hello,
The IAOC would like to solicit feedback from the community to see if
there are any concerns with having the Secretariat turn off the monthly
mailing list password reminders for the IETF mailing lists going forward.
Due to an ever increasing community size as well as new mailing lists
being added to the mailman servers over time, we see a large amount of
mail at the beginning of every month that is causing some delays to email
delivery during this time period in order to send out mass email
subscription and password reminders to the community. Since Mailman has
the ability to do on-demand requests for password reset and subscription
information for each mailing list, there is an alternative method to the
current bulk sending of subscription information that the community can
use.
We are planning to raise this at the Admin plenary on Wednesday at IETF
88 in Vancouver, but we would like to get your feedback on this issue.
Thank you
Chris Griffiths
IAOC Chair
