I believe this is a good initiative.  My experience with other
organisations has been that specialised mailing lists are usually more
productive than one large general one.

As certain issues become topical, a specialised mailing list dedicated
to them would be useful.  My caveat would be that any recommendations
or summary of discussion should come back to the main GA list for
final discussion and ratification.

The ideal situation to me it seems is that the Names Council delegates
to the GA Chair and Co-Chair authority to request the Secretariat to
set up new mailing lists.  It would need to be made clear that such
mailing lists are GA mailing lists only and not DNSO mailing lists or
working groups.
