My preference would be a global list for global discussions, and regional lists for regional matters, without automatic fwd.

The list software attempts to reduce the number of copies of a message but this is probably being short-circuited a bit by the changing of the subject line by adding the prefix of the regional list depending upon which list the message being replied to is received on (if that's not a completely confusing sentence...) Ideally, those who wish to participate in worldwide conversations will join the ALAC list, and at some point I can 'disconnect' the auto-forwarding of messages from the ALAC list to the regional lists.

Second, I'd like for the discussion to move from general comments and process related items to focused contributions on key policy issues open for comment. ALAC Review (starting this month), ALAC 07 budget, WHOIS, Domain name tasting come immediately to mind. As well, would be great to get comments from the intl. ALS community on the RALO formation document being drafted by those in north America.
