Seun,

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.

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.

It's just us mess. With a proper tool, we could have true GLOBAL 
At-Large engagement, not this small group of overworked folks.

-Garth
