Dear RIPE Community, Since the Local IR mailing list <local-ir@ripe.net> is a closed list and only open for contributing registries, it was requested to create a new mailing list for the Local IR Working Group that is open to everyone interested. This new mailing list is called <lir-wg@ripe.net> Below you find a short summary to clarify the difference between these two lists: local-ir@ripe.net - All issues that only concern contributing Local IR's are send to this list - is a CLOSED list, only open to contributing Local IR's - Subscription is not managed by majordomo, but maintained manually by the RIPE NCC - All contributing LIR's are automatically subscribed lir-wg@ripe.net: - All issues related to the LIR Working Group like Meeting Agendas, document revisions and such are sent to this list - All LIR Working Group discussions take place on this list - is an OPEN list, everyone can subscribe - Subscription is managed by majordomo - <local-ir@ripe.net> is automatically subscribed to this list, so - contributing registries don't need to be subscribed to both lists - mail does not need to be sent to both lists All 'guests' that were previously subscribed to local-ir have now been moved to lir-wg. I don't expect this to be much of a problem, but if it is: flames to me please. Kind regards, Roderik Muit RIPE NCC
