[NA-Discuss] ICANN Discussion Lists are For ICANN Discussion

[Alan Greenberg]

Evan, I think you have it pretty well covered.

If this were a really active list, perhaps it would be ok to add a 
side-list on non-ICANN topics. But without such activity, I worry 
that it would become *the* list, overshadowing things-ICANN, or 
simply be another dead list.

Note that there ARE topics related to spam and phishing that can be 
viewed as within ICANN's purview, specifically those related to the 
misuses of domain registrations, but even in that narrow topic, there 
are questionably issues that are outside of ICANN's range.
