From the ALS listing on alac.icann.org, INEGroup is not an accredited ALS.
Of course not, since it doesn't exist in the reality-based world.
The ALAC rules exist and the Chair has indicated that it will be considered, so I look forward to the ALAC decision, and hopefully a more streamlined and productive list with fewer distractions.
I certainly hope so. We have literally decades of experience with email discussion lists, and one of the hard-won lessons is how easily lists can be wrecked by one or two disruptive people. After trying every imaginable alternative, it's always become clear that there's only one solution, which is to remove the disruptive parties. It's much easier in this case because the parties in question have a multi-year history of doing exactly the same thing to one list after another. If you don't believe me, look at the archives at the At-Large Study Committee list in 2001-2002: http://atlargestudy.org/forum_archive/index.shtml Regards, John Levine, johnl@iecc.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Information Superhighwayman wanna-be, http://www.johnlevine.com, ex-Mayor "More Wiener schnitzel, please", said Tom, revealingly.
