This is the summary of NO CROSS POSTING practices implemented on the GNSO server.
A. NO CROSS POSTING Rules - implementation for the DNSO GA lists (Main List and Specific Purposes Lists):
- The no cross posting applies to ALL GA lists as well as several well known other lists.
- The end user (and maths) perspective prevails: if a person subscribes to List-One, but NOT to List-Two, he/she does not wish to get an e-mail from List-Two.
- It was suggested that each list appoints a "rapporteur" to provide periodic updates to the Main List.
B. NO CROSS POSTING Rules - implementation for the NC WGs lists:
- The no cross posting applies to ALL WGs lists.
- The end user (and maths) perspective prevails: if a person subscribes to List-One, but NOT to List-Two, he/she does not wish to get an e-mail from List-Two.
- Each WGs has two Co-Chairs, one from the NC and one elected by the group. The NC Co-Chair acts as liaison with the NC.
C. POSTING Rules for the NC lists (Main List and Specific Purposes Lists):
- Only the NC members, DNSO Secretariat and Scribe, ICANN Board and Staff, and the GA Chair and Alternate Chair are allowed to post to the Names Council lists.
- The NC Working Groups shall communicate with the NC through "liaison co-Chair", who is the NC member.
- The GA shall communicate with the NC through Chair or Alternate Chair.
- The NC may decide to adapt these posting rules at any time.
D. POSTING Rules for the special purpose announce@dnso.org list:
- Only the DNSO Secretariat may write to announce@dnso.org list.
EASY TO REMEMBER:
- In summary: more CC and To, less are the chances it will get to go to any of the lists.
- If somebody is member of many lists and wishes to share some topic with any of them he/she shall write to all of them separately.
