As you probably know, from 2003 - 2010 the present listserv was<span> </span><a href="mailto:NCUC-DISCUSS@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU" target="_blank">NCUC-DISCUSS@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU</a>, then with the formation of NCSG and NPOC it became NCSG-NCUC-DISCUSS@ and finally NCSG-DISCUSS@. Many folks thought we should have a single listserv to discuss GNSO/ICANN matters and that there wasn't a need for a NCUC-specific list. However, when NCUC people did need to communicate with each other (as in this message) there's been nowhere else to do it, and some NPOC folks have objected to constituency-related traffic on the shared list. Fair enough, and now that we're hoping NCUC will be getting more active on intra-organizational matters, there's really no getting around having a separate list, as NPOC does. So in the next few weeks we'll be setting this up, and will be back to you about the details of the transition. Yes, sorry, this will mean one more list for NCUC people to be subscribed to, but that's what filters and folders are for, and it's not clear there will be a particularly noteworthy aggregate increase in mail with two lists. But we do need a space to communicate, and there's no reason for NPOC folks to have to be skipping/deleting our internal messages.</div>
