Well ALAC has been worried about so many things, that nothing has happened. Seems even so that it is still stuck in rules of engagement.
Time for the board to solve that, so ALAC can move on and do some work. And they would all have my support on being firm.
I think e-mail guerrilla tactics are not for this list. The only thing they promote is the ultimate filter: unsubscribing. But this is all the the disruptors want, prove ALAC weak, incompetent and with no representation as all have ran away from any form of discussion.
Who contribute to this list in fact? Anyone can run some weekly statistics like on the IETF list?
Seems to me this is list lack representation, at all levels.
I would think that this is not a good idea.I acknowledge that we might have a problem, but we should try to fix the problem without creating additional overhead and ultimately risking a bigger mess.Every community that I know has rules, and the ALAC is no exception. We need to set them and enforce them.No cross posting, specifically between ALAC and GA, would be already a good starting point. A posting limit could be another one. Monitoring off-topic posts a third one, although more resource-demanding and potentially controversial. In all cases sanctions should be etablished and enforced.Cheers,Roberto
