Thanks Joana,<br>

Perhaps it will be more difficult to strategize on an open
list, or it might feel more difficult. Reality is
everything any reasonably large group discusses will leak.
Likely the only people excluded from the conversation will
be other civil society, and at a time when this very small
collection of CS should be looking to outreach.<br>

We survived WSIS and a few years of IGF with open lists<br>

As some may remember, we have had a closed list for some time
already, but have been able to refrain from using it until now.
It's <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:private@lists.bestbits.net">private@lists.bestbits.net</a> and the list webpage at which you
can subscribe is here:<br>

I also would be happy to work in the open, but I also recognise that
others feel differently and that there is some justification for
those feelings.<br>
<br>
Whilst your point is that "discussions will leak anyway", it's also
true that people will strategise in closed cc groups anyway, if we
don't provide them a closed list.<br>
<br>
So In order to accommodate them, the use of the private list (and
potentially other subject-specific closed lists) exists.<br>
