      Agree, I'm on many kinds of lists I love and use, but there is no
      purpose here as far as At-Large tasks go. Too many lists, need
      web-based workflow that any At-Large user can subscribe in an out
      of, manage what discussions they participate in, see the entire
      history of an issue, vote, draft documents and proposals, etc,
      etc, etc. <br>
      <br>
      People unsubscribe because they have too much email in general and
      they joined At-Large to address some issue that is important to
      them, but when they get here they're confronted with too much
      noise. They can't get their issue heard, and the messaging they
      get is not relevant to the concern that brought them here. <br>
      <br>
      It's just us mess. With a proper tool, we could have true GLOBAL
      At-Large engagement, not this small group of overworked folks.<br>

        <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>
