Speaking as co-Chair of POISSON, before we go too far down this
discussion right now, POISSON will be taking up the topic of
requirements for IETF mailing lists with the goal of producing a
suitable document (or two or three or whatever).
Please be patient for a short while longer and watch for the
announcement on "poised(_at_)lists(_dot_)tislabs(_dot_)com". If you're
interested in
this topic I would suggest you subscribe to that mailing list now, by
sending a message with the single word "subscribe" in the body to
"poised-request(_at_)lists(_dot_)tislabs(_dot_)com".
Thanks,
Jim

quite important forwarded mail of 10 Feb, indicating udlr draft moving
to proposed standard, snipped.
You just can't do members-only on IETF WG lists. See recent discussion
on poisson. I'd suggest moving the list elsewhere...
Antispam measures interfere with the normal business of the IETF, to
its detriment.
