by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 23, 2018

Aug. 23, 2018

Dear All, Please see below a note from Michael Cashin, Manager, End User Support at ICANN, explaining the issue with the ALAC-Announce and Euro-Discuss mailing lists yesterday. Everyone who was unsubscribed from these two lists has been re-subscribed. Again, many apologies for the inconvenience. Kind regards, ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community Website: atlarge.icann.org<http://atlarge.icann.org/> Facebook: facebook.com/icannatlarge<http://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge> Twitter: @ICANNAtLarge<http://www.twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge> From: Michael Cashin Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2018 8:20 AM To: Heidi Ullrich <Heidi.Ullrich(a)icann.org<mailto:Heidi.Ullrich@icann.org>>; Gisella Gruber <Gisella.Gruber(a)icann.org<mailto:Gisella.Gruber@icann.org>> Subject: Mailing list incident on 22 August 2018 Heidi, Gisella- Thank you for bringing to my attention the un-subscription of email addresses on the ALAC-Announce and EURO-Discuss mailman lists. Upon investigation, it was revealed that we (End User Support) entered an incorrect command into the mailman server during our normal maintenance activities. This error caused email addresses to be removed from these two lists. We identified all email addresses that were inadvertently removed from these mailing lists and have subscribed them back to the lists. We have also confirmed that these were the only two lists impacted. This was an error on my team’s part, and I apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.
