I'm not sure having a meeting-specific mailing list helps here, because it assumes that attendees will always register.
Brokers (and in particular, brokers who spam) can't be guaranteed to register, or more specifically, follow the rules. They could just show up as regular hotel guests, not register for the conference, and reach out to AFRINIC members like they did me and many others, to organize sidebar meetings, cocktails, dinners, e.t.c. This, I believe, is far more likely than anything else above-board. So the best defence is to equip the membership to not get caught up in this whirlwind, should they be called to the side by the brokers. Mark.
