I agree with Wendy. Specifically, would like to echo her recommendations in regards to an open NA List as well as using the more open and transparent ICANNWiki site for the development of collaborative texts. regards Robert On 6-Feb-07, at 7:34 AM, Wendy Seltzer wrote:
First off, thanks very much to Nick for finally helping us to get ALAC communications under our control and for tracking down ALS contacts to add to lists. Now, though, we have an embarrassment of riches -- so many lists that it's hard to know where to send and hard for the recipients to continue the discussion because they're fragmented among many one-way lists.
I propose the following for the lists @atlarge-lists.icann.org:
alac -- public archive, open membership, list for general ALAC business. Open for posting to any interested party (including the memberships of *-Discuss and *-ALS).
alac-internal -- ALAC members only, no public archive, LIMITED use (e.g., what time's the conference call)
regional lists -- at the option of regions' ALSs and individuals, for discussion of region-specific business. Publicly archived; open or closed at regions' option. For NA, I propose consolidation down to NA-Discuss, open membership.
Finally, on the wikis, I propose using ICANNwiki exclusively, rather than the closed, publicly invisible Socialtext site.
As the ALAC is supposed to represent the interests of the individual Internet users, we should be holding more conversations with them!
Thanks, --Wendy
