When the list was created many years ago it was with the intent to serve as a forum for technical non-vendor-specific discussions. This has not changed. > If the list IS intended for just technical discussion then: > > 1. Why doesn't the list have a more appropriate name (such as ASN1techdisc); It did not cross my mind at the time the list was set up, nor did anyone make such a suggestion. Since there were no ASN.1-specific list at the time, "asn1" seemed a fine name. > 2. What do I find the list for discussion related to ASN.1 that is > non-technical? There is no such list at the moment. Product announcements typically go to the France Telecom web site, where they are listed. I think FT would be a good place to host an "asn1-announce" mailing list. Hmmm ..., or perhaps the ASN.1 Consortium would also be a good place for such a list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bancroft Scott Toll Free :1-888-OSS-ASN1 OSS Nokalva International:1-732-302-0750 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tech Support :1-732-302-9669 x-1 1-732-302-9669 x-200 Fax :1-732-302-0023 http://www.oss.com
