Re: [Tools-discuss] Non-WG lists list

[Toerless Eckert <[e-mail]>]

Each list should have:

a) A visible "owner" of the list. Whatever that is (IESG, IAB, any other "org", individual)

b) A history of the description of the list with who and when the description was changed.

That would allow for anyone getting to what looks like a stale list to do a bit more of an
educated guess whats going on with the list.

>From then on out, we could determine if therer should be

c) a trigger to the owner to update the list after some type of event, such as:
c.1) There was no mail to the list for 1 year
c.2) The description was not changed for 5 years.
