It would be easy enough to invite the members of the old list to join a new list.

hi,
I do not see why using a well established list and giving it a new/ continuing purpose is unprofessional.
A reason for suggesting it is that this list proved itself capable of civilised and productive working methods with minor exceptions and his list already includes much of the ICANN skill set on these IDN issues. This list is also composed of people who have shown themselves to be interested in the issues and capable of working on the issues. So it seemed like a possible solution that save everyone a bit of work in terms of building a new list. In a sense we are continuing to discuss the same issues that this group of people worked on, and it seems reasonable to continue that list as opposed to designing a new wheel.
However, if the council thinks that creating a new list is a better proposal that too would be a professional approach.

The existence of a past mail listing is mostly irrelevant
to a future
one. Setting up a new list is trivially easy.
Step 1 Identify need / purpose / audience / timeline
Step 2 Specify rules if any
Step 3 Invite proposed audience to opt in.
