Hi Garth,
You will agree with me that there are several
mailing list for different issues (working groups), and I
personally think they are even too many of them already and
may be one of the reason people loose touch on what is
happening within ICANN. Perhaps what can be done in other to
address the point you've raised is to have the several lists
placed somewhere central with relevant description on purpose.
There is usually list info page on mailman by default and
AtLarge has one too [1] but its needs to be updated and
perhaps should go as part of the footer URLs as well.
That said, It usually baffles me when a list
that has been relatively silent starts getting unsubscribe
request immediately it's becoming active. Isn't the essence of
the list in the first place for us all to interact? Why then
get off if once the opportunity to interact shows itself.
Ofcourse I am fine with people flagging
possibility of unsubscribing if the list no longer discusses
issues of relevance to the purpose of setting up the list.
However, I think what has been discussed so far is indeed of
relevance hence I wonder whether those subscriber really
wanted to participate in the first place.
On the same note and perhaps as a suggestion, it
may be good to find a way to always keep the list active so
subscriber don't see inactivity as the norm and activity as a
strange thing. :-)
I personally am a fan of mailing list as I don't
think any web facing page would engage and provide information
to ones door step as much as a mailing list.

Hello,
The URL to unsubscribe is in the footer:
On that note, I wonder why a few people are unsubscribing? Are the mails too much already ;-)
