Re: [dnsext] Progress on moving the mailing list

[Ted Hardie <[e-mail]>]

Howdy,

Any strong reason it shouldn't be "[e-mail]"?  That list
name has a lot of history behind it, and having a consistent thread of
conversation connected to the name, if not its host, seems to me worth it.
An alias from [e-mail] to [e-mail] could be kept for
those wanting the WG Name pointer.

Full disclosure:  I was briefly the list monkey at SRI who kept
namedroppers@sri-nic
up, and I am likely being nostalgic.
