Speaking as a greybeard, longstanding linker and occasional member of
list-admin teams, I like the direction we're going in, know at least
the digital personae who are proposed, and like the mix.
(I guess that's an 'Aye', but with a right of recall in case any
further interesting ideas emerge later).
A question:
Are the statement of scope, and the modus operandi, still good?
If not, is new-broom time an appropriate stage to reconsider them?
I always depict link as being 'a community of Internet
policy-watchers'. (That said, every time I ask a dumb technical
question I get lots of valuable technical advice; so we have a
highly valuable interleave between policy-oriented people and
technical people with policy interests).
What the site actually says is:
http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
"The Link list is an email discussion list for people interested in
the development of the internet in Australia although its strays from
time to time into wider issues of communication.
"Areas of interest vary from time to time but the following topics
have been of interest - ...
" ... open and unmoderated. Only list members may post to the list. ...
"... archived ..."
That still sounds pretty good. Maybe we should leave well alone.
