So what I've done is to create an LDAP database on a third server (igf-online.net) which the other two servers (lists.cprs.org and www.igcaucus.org) use to access the list of IGC members.  Ideally, we would have our own dedicated server which would host all these facilities... but we have no funding, so we are reliant on the generosity of sponsors.


i was wondering what happens when someone send subscribe message to list.cpsr.org?

so i tried:

I do not think this is a good thing.

people should just be able to subscribe.
they should not be told they are not allowed to subscribe.

i think this needs to be undone.
perhaps we need a subgroup to work with the co-ordinators, and then get list approval, before they make fundamental changes like this to the IGC list.
