Re: [atlarge-discuss] WG-OUTREACH 004 - E-mail group and administrivia *with PROPOSAL

["Richard Henderson" <richardhenderson@ntlworld.com>]

To get some clarity in order to press on, I'd like to ask a "stupid"
question to the panel and everyone else.

I think there is a view that the WG-OUTREACH would do well to transfer its
correspondence 'off' our overcrowded discuss and panel lists, to address
some of the outreach-specific issues and tasks, while obviously wanting to
archive any correspondence on any alternative list for the purposes of
transparency, and while also retaining a responsibility to report back
clearly and regularly to the panel and membership as a whole.

This might just be a simple do-today matter of subscribing to a list.

My "stupid" question is this : Have we, as participants, got the right and
sanction of the whole organisation to just go ahead and start a list for
outreach (in the absence of anyone producing anything else) or do we have to
wait for a general policy decision to be taken on what lists and where, for
ALL the working groups?

OK - that's my question.

Could anyone who thinks we should not/ must not go ahead and just start a
list, please express your views (which are, of course, welcome).

Otherwise, I guess the answer to my "stupid" question is: people are happy
for us as a WG-OUTREACH to just get on and mobilise and get on with things
on a list (albeit we are mostly agreed that we should act intelligently and
cautiously until we have a more clearly-defined product to 'sell'). There is
so much we *could* be getting on and doing in preparation that I think it
would be a pity if we drifted on for another 2 months and *then* had to
start from scratch.

Can we / should we set up an Outreach list now? And if we should have the
Panel's sanction first:

"I PROPOSE the motion that the Outreach WG can proceed to set up a list to
better carry out its duties."

Maybe this Motion isn't even necessary. Tell me what you think.

Richard

Thanks, Ron! I thought perhaps we could get list-traffic down to bearable
while ensuring that the right ideas were sent to the right groups.

Here (thanks to Richard who came through with Gabriel's address) is the
official WG-OUTREACH membership list, in alphabetical order by surname.

Joey Borda <starwalker@gay.com>,
Satyajit Gupta <icheckemail@indiatimes.com>,
Richard Henderson [Chair] <richardhenderson@ntlworld.com>,
Erick Iriarte Ahon <faia@amauta.rcp.net.pe>,
Judyth Mermelstein <espresso@e-scape.net>
Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@mail.club-internet.fr>,
YJ Park <yjpark@myepark.com>,
Gabriel Pineiro <gpineiro@derecho.org.ar>,
Roberto Roggiero <roberto@roggiero.net>,
Sotiris Sotiropoulos <sotiris@hermesnetwork.com>,
Ron Sherwood <sherwood@islands.vi>,
Jeff Williams  <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>,
Bruce Young <bruce@barelyadequate.info>

In the absence of any other offers, I volunteer my services as "recording
secretary" so as to make sure this list is updated when necessary and
there's some admonistrative backup to the discussions.

However, my equipment setup is not lavish so I cannot promise to archive the
WG-O's discussions indefinitely on it. Perhaps somebody with more hard disk
space could take that on, or perhaps the Webmaster and WG-WEB could arrange
to have to messages archived on the existing site if we send them along?
Just another little idea...

Regards,

Judyth
