Christian, Since Ignacio has not volunteered, I don't think it is fair to single him out. If the man wishes to volunteer, let him tell us directly. ... > I vote for this option and would like to see Andrew's list charter applied. The applicability of my proposed List Charter remains unknown. It remains to be seen whether: 1) enough people feel that we need something like that 2) enough people will migrate to a mailing list based on that 3) five willing and able bodies will volunteer to fill the positions As I said, we still have [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the meantime. When enough of us feel sufficiently "moved" to take concrete action, then we shall have a new list. > (Thanks to Denny for his offer, but I think it is not a good idea to > again leave administration of the new list to a commercial company.) In my humble opinion, we need not discriminate against commercial entities as long as we have a strong Charter and enforceable contracts with the volunteers. Without such agreements in place, I fear that even the most up-standing members of our community are human and thus vulnerable to corruption. This is not an issue of trust, but immunizing well-intentioned people so that they may do good with maximal efficiency. Present company included :-). According to my proposed charter, the list managers will be responsible for choosing a Host and a Domain Name Manager. After a few more days of deliberation and discussion, maybe people will begin self-nominating for the list manager positions. We just have to wait and see. Best regards, Andrew --- Andrew P.
