The whole team is pretty excited about this (esp me who is the ultimate geek). Having a dedicated gmail server for aiesec.net emails definitely ups our internal branding (members might get a sense of pride that aiesec.net mail is more zng than other company mails), enhances email communication (no more "huh you sent me an email?" moments), and helps strengthen AIESEC's image as a global organization (now we can send @aiesec.net emails in peace instead of using our personal accounts).Gmail as AIESEC.net mail really doesn't come cheap; http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/details.html shows that it's $50/user/year. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of agreement and AIESEC gets it much cheaper, but in any case any cost incurred IMO is rather worth it. Regular users of aiesec.net will know that it's not the most stable email system, and there are many opportunity costs to not having a stable mailing system. Kudos AI for the move!
I think it comes free / reduced rates for NPO
