<p>While searching for some information about myself online, I came across a webpage containing archives of the NCSG mailing list:<br>
<a href="https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=NCSG-DISCUSS;bf9a08f3.2011&FT=&P=T&H=N&S=">https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=NCSG DISCUSS;bf9a08f3.2011&FT=&P=T&H=N&S=</a></p>
<p>So I am guessing that the mails are archived with "<span style="background-color:rgb(250,250,250);color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:shermansans,verdana,sans-serif;font-size:20px">Syracuse University".</span></p><p>But I was surprised and a bit uncomfortable to find that the mailing list communications, including personal details such as names, phone numbers, and email addresses, are publicly accessible. In my case, my phone number and email- which I do not usually share openly - are visible. mail Archives of other groups like At-Large are stored within ICANN Wikki and not accessible publicly.</p>
<p>I have previously had situations where old contact information found online was misused after being scraped from platforms like LinkedIn. I am concerned that this mailing list archive could also be a source for such data harvesting, especially since it contains the contact information of many members.</p>
<p>Could you please confirm if this level of public accessibility is intentional and compliant with NCSG’s privacy practices? If not, might it be possible to restrict access?</p>
<p>I believe this is an important privacy issue that may affect all members whose signatures or contact information are included in past emails.</p><p>I am also open to understanding what exactly is the case if I have missed something.</p>
<p>Thank you for your attention to this matter.</p></div></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Regards</div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto"><br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">Aaron Promise Mbah<br>Technology Policy & Innovation Strategist <br><br> </div></div>
