Hi Mike -- What we all need is to have one list designated as the discussion list of record. Perhaps there shoudl be more than one, given the need to discuss separate topics (DNSO, PSO, ASO, MAC, etc) on different lists, but without any designation we are essentially being dealt with in what feels like a divide and conquer mode, where you talk to some lists and not others, adn we do not know where to subscribe or comment. The end result is that we are all scrambling to figure out how to deal with the mess that ICANN is allowing to develop. Also, many of the lists you mention do nt appear to be interactive, in that they are comment collection addresses, but not disuccsion lists. Having not persoanlly investigatged every one of the list you mention, I cannot say for certain. But, it is also a huge chore for all interested parties to research this question for themselves, so I think it woudl be bery much appropriate tof ICANN to announce all those lists and indicate their purpose and their operational character (open for discussion, one way collectors, etc). So, this is a plea for help. Please do somethign to improve your ICANN facilitites for interaction with the stakeholders. For instance, your message included here did not include a single mailing list, so apparently you do not want thsi information to be widely distributed;-)...
