[rsab] RSAB mailing list open to send [was: Re: RSAB document approval process]

Hi all,

I think what I am hearing is that the RSAB list should be open for everybody to send us mail. I personally think that is the right thing to do as well because we must have a way for the community to reach us.

Jay raised a concern that together with the open archives this would make it basically an open (discussion) list. I do believe that people understand the difference, however, I think if that problem actually occurs in further we can still reconsider this decisions at any time and find a different solution (e.g. create a new list).

Sandy, could you please change the configuration of the list accordingly? Thanks!

Mirja

That would not be helpful at all.

It sounds like the RSAB list should be open to receive mail from non-members - please confirm this is correct.  Do you also want to allow people to subscribe to the list?
