Re: [EURO-Discuss] [Euralo-ml] Completing Work on the Bylaws

Depends upon what you meant by the line: did you mean that I was altering the text, as I mentioned? If so, that's how I remember it and I did already make that change. That's the only clarifying I remember that I was to do.

EURALO list completely incorporated into new list server
by Nick Ashton-Hart Nov. 29, 2006

Nov. 29, 2006

Hello all! I have now incorporated all subscribers in the old euralo-ml mailing list into the new european regional lists. euro-als(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org: Only accredited ALSes belong. euro-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org: all of those who are subscribed to euralo-ml are subscribed. Needless to say there are many other lists which you can subscribe to in the At Large world now - feel free - and also several useful new lists that you can send to and get the relevant staff people you need (travel-staff(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org is particularly useful; now only one email will get your TARF requests handled for example). The address for the lists is: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/ listinfo -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nashton(a)spamcop.net Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
