We have some new people on our lists, so I thought it would be a good idea to outline the differences between the ALAC and ALAC-Internal mailing lists. This information is extracted from the ALAC E-mail Guide that can be found at https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Rules+of+Procedure. The ALAC list includes: - ALAC Members - Regional leaders - Liaisons - At-Large Board member - At-Large Staff - Many former list members who choose to remain It should be used for most ALAC and related business. It is publicly archived, so all messages are visible, and may be indexed by Google and other search engines. The ALAC-Internal list has a similar membership, but only those currently holding those positions - no ex-members. It is archived, but the archive is only open to current members of the list. It is not publicly viewable or indexed by search engines. Note that current members can view ALL messages, including those sent before they were members. The Internal list should be used for social and travel-related issues that we do not want to distribute externally, or other messages that for one reason or another we do not want to make available outside of this group. ALS application information is a typical example. It should not be used without a good reason. If someone sends something on the Internal list, please respect that and do not re-distribute to other lists. Alan
