I am going to speak up on this issue one more time.  The so-called
"sublists" are nothing more than a place to carry out informal
discussions, similar to "hallway conferences".  Unless and until there
is a formal vote on the matter, they have no formal standing in the GA
arena.  WXW is completely right and the "chair" is completely wrong.
There is no reason to participate in the informal discussion list if you
do not wish to participate.  They are in the process of tabling their
informal proposals in an attempt to formalize them.  These proposals are
nothing more than proposals, no matter how many adjectives the proposers
choose to label them with (there is nothing "best" about these
proposals; they are simply someone's idea of one way to proceed and are
not the best or worst of anything.)

It is very helpful to continue to carry the discussion on the main ga
list, now that the proposers are ready to move forward.  The main list
is the only official forum for the ga and thus, it is the only place to
formally debate the pros and cons of the proposal.
