Hi Garth That isn’t sarcastic - it’s sad. I am not talking about a big grand plan. I am talking about a discussion on the lists - what are they, who uses them, is there a better way. It could be a simple as eliminating one of the lists, or better labelling the lists, or simply putting a better subject heading. Please let’s not step away from what may be small reforms because we have decided it is all too hard, and ICANN will can it.

Me, Seun, and everyone else could collaborate and come up with a great plan and as soon as we try to move forward it will be taken over by some icann division and either get shelved, bloated, or made ineffective. This has already happened several time before with too many at-large projects. > > -Garth > > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Droid > On Feb 19, 2017 2:34 PM, Holly Raiche <h.raiche(a)internode.on.net> wrote: > Folks > > A great discussion on this list - making some really important points.

Garth TBH there’s no real “one size fits all” tool out there ☺ We use email, Slack, Teamwork (https://www.teamwork.com/) , ZenDesk and a bunch of other tools for various things. It depends on what people are comfortable with and what you are trying to achieve.

A lot of companies in the tech space are now using Slack (or alternatives) to replace a lot of their email for internal discussions etc., One of the upsides to Slack is that it integrates very neatly with a load of 3rd party services. Downside – you can’t “browse” archives, though if you are on a paid plan you can search them.
