[governance] Phase 1 of improvements to the IGC Web site

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I think that the archive had been open to the world for many years.  Just as subscribing to the list is open to everyone, even if they do not wish to be members proper.

As a transparency maximalist, I would be sad to see either restricted.

Besides, closed lists are only security by obscurity anyway, as any member of the list can forward/publish anything anytime they wish.  It is best to remember (not that I always do myself):  before you send a message, be sure you would be ok if you saw it posted on a bulletin board, or IGCleaks, for all to see.

Although I think it is very useful to find our posts to the IGC list  in IGC website and although and I agree that IGC discussions should be transparent, I am worried that some strategic discussions we carry out here on the list would be accessible by anybody. I don´t know, but maybe our members will start to think twice before saying something, and we may lose in some degree the frankness that has characterized the discussions on the list.

Maybe when the blog section is ready our members can choose what they want to post to the world and what is internal conversation.
