As one who has been raising this specific issue, I appreciate and
understand the answer.

It still will be helpful to know which of you "owns" each specific
initiative -- you're not clones of each other and I'm sure not
everything you do is by committee. It's important for the people you
talk to, to know the main point of contact in any specific initiative,
together with the understanding that any of you can fill in for the
other as needed.

Personally, I would still prefer to work with individuals -- especially
on small details -- leaving the group address to issues that really do
involve multiple people. I still don't believe that the impersonal
character of the group email suits a part of ICANN designed to address
the concerns of the public. It's like my telephone company's "automated
phone attendant" -- superbly efficient, I'm sure, from the POV of
service delivery but intensely irritating nonetheless. Still, it's not
something I'll lose sleep over if you don't agree.
