Yes, i tried to exhaust my options in there, but got nowhere,
this includes going to 

https://elists.isoc.org/mailman/private/internetpolicy/

and attempting to join via that unpublished link.

I don't mind baroque as long as its published, but published information
is wrong, and the fact that the list is not included in the published
list of ISOC lists makes me wonder if the list lists that are only
accessible to ISOC members is even published anywhere...

I did send emails to support.

I did have a bit of discussion about the possibility of
a list like "[e-mail], but was told in PM
that getting new mailing lists on elists.isoc.org is a
process competing with continental drift in speed.

Something like such a list would be a great option IMHO for
the ISOC society to participate on not only in discussions about
internet history but also its future.

Given how seemingly non-published internetpolicy mailing list is,
i wonder who is even subscribed to it. Not sure if it is possible
to figure that out.  I very much liked Jay Daleys reconfirmation
that IETF mailing list membership is of public nature. Not sure
what ISOC's policy is.
