<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for your swift reply. Yes, things can get lost to the
shifting sands of ICANN history….</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My personal view would be that there’s no reason for the list to
not be publicly archived. For us, it would allow searching back to
previous messages/threads when desired to reconstruct not only the
background of current discussions and decisions, but also to see what
previous groups of chairs may have done that could be relevant. I use
list archives in these manners all the time, and find the lack of that
option here a bit frustrating. And for the community, it would provide
transparency and accountability, always good things that we advocate
elsewhere. In the event there is a particular decision that is really
sensitive and needs to be worked out privately before something comes to the
list, constructing a Cc like this works fine.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I was on the GNSO Council I pushed for opening up our meetings via
webcast and Adobe and the result has hardly been a massive number of
observers or disruptions. But for those addictive personalities who
want to know what their elected reps are up to, it has been a good thing. I
would expect the same would apply here.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Would indeed be good to hear from others.</div>
