  It is true that far less of those that registered or voted in the
@large elections are contributing.  However that is not a good
indicator that this list is useless in any way.  Many folks just don't
have anything to contribute or are only interested in following
along so as to be informed when they can vote if they are @large
members and have gotten their PIN #'s.

  ICANN has a mailing list for this already.  Why create another one?

egroups.com ML's are traps for spam IMHO.  Every time I post to
one of them I get at least three advertisements to sell me something.
