> applied accross lists. The procedures for posting rights
> handling, the synchronization between Lists Monitors decision
> and Secretariat, the timely technical implementation.

> There is more than 1300 subscribers to all active DNSO lists

> subscribers to the DNSO Voting Registry.
> The DNSO lists maintenance duties includes watching technical
> problems as well as bounces handling and providing answers to those
> who get lost and ask for help in unsubscribing or modifying
> addresses. Depending on traffic (either induced by e-mail addresses
> belonging to lists, and which may have temporary or permanent
> problems, or by cross posting, or by spaming, by chain-mails,
> by some automated answers, etc.), the usual load at listadmin
> is more than two hundred delivery-reports two times a day.

> 
> As for my opinion for ga and ga-full lists, they are both
> associated and in equilibrum, adopted by the GA members
> after several months of work by former Chairs, Roberto Gaetano
> and Harald Alvestrand.
> Closing the ga-full list is not an independent decision, and may
> destabilize the compromise achieved one year ago.
> 
> I am asking the NC Colleagues to reconsider this.
