Hi Martin,
Thank you
spi-board is a list of the board of directors to communicate. It's
also used as a contact address for the board.
OK, but in terms of content, what discussions would be more appropriate
to direct to spi-board than to, I guess, spi-general?
Anything that is confidential. For example, a potential legal issue.
Since the general public cannot subscribe to these lists, I don't
think it makes sense to list them at
http://www.spi-inc.org/contact/mailinglists/
It's just confusing.
Actually I think they should be listed with their defined purpose and
their subscription requirements. It is part of the transparency and it
shows that we are conducting proper business.
spi-private is the only one I am member of. Board elections is one
topic sometimes treated on that list, but a private list should not
be designated as the proper forum for electoral discussions.
Personally, I feel that spi-private has been overused and most of the
conversation should have been on spi-general. spi-private should only
be used for things that should not be public / publicly archived.
I agree with you. From the approximately 100 mails sent to spi-private
which I have read, I do not remember a single one which could not have
been sent to spi-general (instead).
I prefer -private because generally speaking, I am talking to voting
members. The general public is great and there are times where that is
appropriate but we are not an open source project. We are a corporation
led by our members, with oversight by our board and run by our officers.
Sincerely,
JD
