</div>I like how you have stated things above. Nice.<br>
<br>
To ensure that we all clearly understand who the admin contacts and<br>
list admins are, could we have a mail detailing exactly that much,<br>
please ?<br>
<br>
This would be better than referring to a wiki whose contents are<br>
subject to change (and we may not look at the history all the time).<br>
<br>
Also, having such a mail on the mailing list will also ensure that<br>
such a list of names is archived.<br>
<br>
e.g.<br>
============ sample mail ============<br>
Hello list:<br>
<br>
For the purpose of creating the DNS advisory and technical contacts,<br>
I'm summing up the various names proposed on earlier thread.<br>
1. NameA (email address)<br>
2. NameB (email address)<br>
<br>
In case anyone has any observations to make on this list of names, or<br>
if the people mentioned in this list of names wish to opt out, please<br>
reply to this mail.<br>
<br>

<br>
</div>I request that these discussions to happen on the list. That way, they<br>
are archived. Also, community members can step in with observations,<br>
and perhaps even help steer the discussions back on track.<br>
<br>
This will also serve some more purposes:<br>
- list members will learn from observation how an admin team ought to<br>
discuss amongst themselves.<br>
- the admin team will be aware that this is a good time to set a good<br>
example of discussing a topic with focus.<br>
- those who fear that all discussions are always flame-wars will get a<br>
chance to see positive discussions.<br>
