[governance] Our strategy, work plan and outreach

Tue Nov 2 10:51:55 EDT 2010

Hi,

I also agree that it is a good idea.

I think separate email list are an ok idea as long as they all have open archives and they should allow sending even by IGC subscribers members who aren't subscribers, though those need to be moderated to prevent spam etc...  I can probably also help somewhat in setting up environments for work or email lists.

I would be interested in participating in a strategy group, but am _not_ volunteering for a facilitator role.
