[line eater food] >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Hi, IFWPers. >> >>This mail will bounce, as I am unable to get the subscription to the IFWP >>list with my new address. >> >>I first asked Richard Sexton to change my address, and he referred me to >>instructions at the Web site http://www.open-rsc.org/ - please note that to Maybe you asked about the ORSC list ? Maybe I gave you the wrong URL ? Who knows, but ant any rate I'm sorry for any cnofusion Robert. For reference: ORSC List subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.open-rsc.org/lists/ IFWP List subscribe/unsubscribe: http://lists.ifwp.org/ As for >>address a mail to Richard is already a non-straightforward task for the 99% >>"minority" who refers to the root system as authoritative ;>) Unless, of course, you read the signature file on the bottom of each message: >-- >[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Let me know if you can't resolve this. Oh, and ^C is "cut" and ^V is "paste" :-) >>I followed instructions at the site (http://www.open-rsc.org/lists/others/), >>and asked people at my former site to unsubscribe my old address, while I >>subscribed my new one. >> >>In fact, after a couple of days ("Gee, isn't the list silent!"), I realized >>that the thing did not work. The postmaster at ETSI told me that my mailbox, >>that is still active for administrative reasons, is flooded with IFWP >>messages, while I did not get any. >>So, we did everything once again. But, surprise!, the system did not do it, >>because it claimed it was already done. Ah yes. That is a problem. That page was set up a long time ago whe Andy was running the IFWP list and apparantly I've forgotten all about it. I'll fix it right now, but please understand I can't fix what I don't know is broken. >>So, last resort, the E-Mail address on the Web site for "problems & >>suggestions", [EMAIL PROTECTED] In fact, it is Andy Sernowitz' E-mail, >>and he kindly answered that he is not managing this since a year ago. Thats correct. >>I think that this, while it is just a minor incident (maybe in my getting >>settled in the new job, city and country I would not have had time anyhow to >>go through my mail), it is interesting in relationship with the proposal >>that comes in waves about the IFWP list as the voting body of the Internet, >>and/or the candidate "unique" list for all Internet issues, and so on. If we >>cannot change a subscriber's address, can we be trusted in checking voting >>rights of participants? That's a but of a stretch, Robest, IMHO. >>The cc: to the dnso list has two purposes: first to ask some DNSOer to >>forward this message to the IFWP, and second to acknowledge that the same >>operation on the DNSO lists worked the first time through. >> >> >>Regards >>Roberto >> >>P.S.: Please note that my new address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], effective >>1999-07-01. This is only temporary, because I will move to a personal >>address soon. Follow the bouncing Bob :-) Roberto, just send me mail and I'll update your subscription immediatley. I'm not quite sure what it should be right now, so drop me a line. Oh, and don't worry, you havn't really missed anything. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] "They were of a mind to govern us and we were of a mind to govern ourselves."
