Hi,


Starting with closed archives as default will make it more feasible for
Tapani to perform the heroic task he has volunteered for; that decision can
be reversed later, which does not hold for the opposite direction. The task
is herculean; it would be unfriendly to have it bogged in an internal
policy discussion in which the most affected parties are not guaranteed to
be able to participate.


SO: +1 Well said

Regards


Alejandro Pisanty

Hi

I do not oppose keeping the past archives open.

I'd also think the steps outlined seem quite reasonable.
