My first thought: what do we need another list for? Isn't
icann-europe@fitug.de enough? In which respect would
icann-debate@lists.ccc.de differ from icann-europe@fitug.de?  
One discussion list is IMHO better than two unless there are clear 
distictions as to what is discussed in either list.

But then: icann-europe@fitug.de has been largely a european affair -
but as I see it there is only one topic that is (was) really
euro-specific: the European @Large director.
Now that the election is over, most questions will concern all regions
alike. 
Wouldn't it therefore be better to have some global forum in which all
the discussions that are not specific to a region are held?  There is
no need to feel ourselves bound to the artificial separation
introduced by ICANN. Is the not-region-specific traffic here willing
to move to some global list?

Could/Should icann-debate@lists.ccc.de try to become this global list?

any comments?
