Hi, all,

Regarding a few points that were raised, some context below might be useful.

Joe (TCCC Chair)

- posting discussion threads on the mailing list

Most mail browsers, as well as the archive interface, provide a way to 
view list email by thread, which already provides an easy way to 
organize posts by topic, and to discard messages by such groups if not 
of interest.

FWIW, the goal of the list *is* such discussions, not (e.g.) CFP posts; 
the current model ls "opt out" (easy to delete threads of less 
interest), which encourages people to jump in later in the thread (which 
has happened, e.g., on conference management discussions). An opt-in 
model (where info is pushed elsewhere) could make monitoring such 
discussions more difficult, and harder to track (requiring a separate 
RSS feed, e.g., and a wiki which we currently lack).

- the officers have previously discussed the issue of standards 
involvement by TCs

At this time, we feel it is appropriate to monitor those activities, but 
have not seen sufficient interest on the mailing list in these 
activities to warrant an official TC position on particular standards 
group events.

If there are any members who are tracking standards who would be 
interested in such a process, please contact our standards board rep 
(Venkatesha Prasad) so we can gauge active interest.
