Hi Vittorio,
This new setup of global + regional mailing lists where messages flow in all directions, though a bit chaotic, seems to have prompted many more interventions by ALS representatives. I am actually wondering whether we should rather have one single global list to this effect, keeping regional lists only for strictly regional discussions.
Some people have suggested just that for a long time. A global entity is much more encouraging and empowering, at least as long as participation is low. Regional sub-divisions should grow out of a global group, not the other way around. jeanette
