Dear All,

Since the decision to redirect emails from cpwg@icann.org to the gtld-wg.atlarge-lists.icann.org

and registration-issues-wg.atlarge-lists.icann.org lists some time ago, one consequence of this is that different subject lines like [registration-issues-wg] [CPWG] or [GTLD-WG] [CPWG] appear to those that are on the three mailing lists. Worse, threaded conversations are potentially broken depending on who responds to which list.

In theory, persons can individually unsubscribe from the gtld-wg and registration-issues-wg but the far simpler and more straightforward thing to do is to retire the gtld-wg lists and registration-issues-wg lists by

1) staff documenting who are on the gtld-wg list and registration-issues lists

2) staff removing everyone except themselves from the gtld-wg lists and registration-issues lists

3) staff posting a last email, noting the reasons why the list was being retired so that future At-Large has a clearer picture of why the list was retired and perhaps noting for historical purposes who was on the list when the list was retired.

Thoughts?
