In the names council meeting today, a motion was made seconded and carried
that the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list should be the general expression
of the general assembly of the dnso.
Also, the point "we need greater outreach" was made by half the
names council interim members. Some said it 3 and 4 times. Many
others said it as well.
The [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list has 53 members.
The IFWP list has 156 members.
Now, I've been taking part on mailing lists about domain names
and especially new domain names since before the NSF directed
NSI to start charging for domain names roughly 4 years ago
and in my experience the hardest part of this whole process
has been to keep people in one place on one list.
Originally there was one mailing list about new domain names,
now there are about two dozen. This fractialization is
counter producive and impedes forward movement.
Moreso, the name of the list is less important than
the community the list is and represents.
So, it seems to me a better idea that declaring
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list as the regular expression
of the general assembly of the DNSO would be to
use the IFWP list for that purpose; it may take months
or perhaps even a year to get the dnso list to the size
the ifwp list.
Are there any reasons why this shouldn't be done ?
