I don't think this is a decision that could be made by the Chair and Vice Chairs - and would be a decision for the ccNSO Council. I do agree we need to resolve it, and ask that we add this to the agenda of the upcoming Council meeting for decision. My own opinion is that the non-ccTLD members of the ccNSO (e.g. the NomComm appointees) should be subscribed to the ccNSO members lists, but that perhaps this should be in "read only" mode, so that they might see the discussions, but not influence them...

I don't understand why any of this remains controversial, and I thought it had been settled.
NomCom appointed Council Members should by default be subscribed to the communication lists of the SO of which they are Council Members of. There can be no reason to refuse NomCom Appointed Members access to the ccNSO's main discussion list.
Likewise, Council Members who leave their employment with a ccNSO Member remain a council member. According to ICANN bylaws, Councillors serve in a personal capacity.
Obviously it is right and propoer that they are unsubscribed if they are subscribed under an address at their previous place of work (this is obvious since the mail will no longer reach them!!).
However, I can see no justification for any policy previously adopted by the ccNSO prohibiting access to ANY ccNSO communication meduym by any ccNSO Councillor in either of the above two categories.
I therefore formally ask the Chair and Vice-Chairs please to either agree the above and allow the four missing Councillors to be subscribed to the ccNSO lists, or in the case of any doubt, seek the opinion of ICANN's Office of General Counsel.
