Without necessarily accepting that (IMHO consensus is required for
substantive things like issuing statements, not for internal
procedural things like creating mailing lists), I agree that there
doesn't seem to be enough support to warrant creating it yet. But
if we don't create it, this shouldn't be on the ground of
transparency. Currently people send sensitive posts to ad-hoc
subsets of IGC members (such as past and present coordinators)
instead of to the list. Having a closed list of self-affirmed
members would be more transparent than this.<br>
