<div dir="auto">Hi Garth,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">You will agree with me that there are several mailing list for different issues (working groups), and I personally think they are even too many of them already and may be one of the reason people loose touch on what is happening within ICANN. Perhaps what can be done in other to address the point you've raised is to have the several lists placed somewhere central with relevant description on purpose. There is usually list info page on mailman by default and AtLarge has one too [1] but its needs to be updated and perhaps should go as part of the footer URLs as well.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">That said, It usually baffles me when a list that has been relatively silent starts getting unsubscribe request immediately it's becoming active. Isn't the essence of the list in the first place for us all to interact? Why then get off if once the opportunity to interact shows itself. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Ofcourse I am fine with people flagging possibility of unsubscribing if the list no longer discusses issues of relevance to the purpose of setting up the list. However, I think what has been discussed so far is indeed of relevance hence I wonder whether those subscriber really wanted to participate in the first place.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">On the same note and perhaps as a suggestion, it may be good to find a way to always keep the list active so subscriber don't see inactivity as the norm and activity as a strange thing. :-)</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I personally am a fan of mailing list as I don't think any web facing page would engage and provide information to ones door step as much as a mailing list.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards</div><div dir="auto">1. <a href="https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo">https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo</a><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">Sent from my LG G4<br>Kindly excuse brevity and typos</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 19, 2017 17:13, "<a href="mailto:gbruen@knujon.com">gbruen@knujon.com</a>" <<a href="mailto:gbruen@knujon.com">gbruen@knujon.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

none channeled to specific interests or needs. This decades-old
"system" of collaboration and information flow is one of the great
failures of ICANN to engage with the community. Why would anyone
want to stay engaged? <br>
