[ga] NOTICE - List Monitoring

["Patrick Corliss" <patrick@corliss.net>]

Chair, Members GA

Six new mailing lists have been created to provide a forum for discussion by
working groups prior to the Stockholm meeting early next month.  It is
expected there will be a reasonable amount of flexibility allowed within
each group to appoint a list moderator or to set its own policies in
relation to list rules and excess postings.

Until this new environment has been properly established, the List Monitor
Committee has determined that the existing rules will remain in place on the
new lists.  An excess posting limit of five daily postings per person will
therefore apply to each list.

The list monitors have unanimously agreed that persons who have had their
posting rights withdrawn should continue their suspension for the remainder
of the term imposed by the former list monitor.  This continuing suspension
will apply to all of the GA lists.

All members are reminded that one of the new lists has been established
to review the current policies in relation to Internal Processes.  This is
[ga-int].  Until new posting rules are established, any loss of posting
rights will be imposed across the board.

The Chair has confirmed his acceptance of these procedures pending
the formulation of new list rules on the Internal Processes list.  It is, of
course, open to any person with a grievance to submit an appeal to the
Chair, at any time, for his consideration.

All members interested in providing input to the GA's list rules are
encouraged to join [ga-int] and participate in that debate.

Thanking you
Patrick Corliss
Co-Chair, GA
for List Monitor Committee
