This is really one list, and it is and should be counted that way.

This is not a mailing list of the GA, this is a convenience list for
the monitors.  Email is the simplest way to handle this.

This "list" is not counted as a GA list.

It is used.  It is a one way only list.  This also should not be
counted, as it is ENTIRELY for administrative announcements from the
secretariat to those who elect to receive those announcements.

Agreed.

Disagree completely.  This list has served no purpose,and it shows no
potential for developing into any purposeful list.

It's also unproductive.  It CANNOT be productive, because the only
ones it is at all of interest to are the polar opposites.

It serves no useful purpose whatsoever.  And it won't. Kill it.

If there was interest in having a separate list for this issue, the
list would be in use.

This is a VITAL and mainstream issue.  The issue MUST be before the
entire GA for the best possible exposure and most input.

But it isn't being used for that, is it?  Scrap it.
