I would initially purge everyone who wasn't "obviously" in a constituency (e.g. 
those who are registrars, registries, on GNSO council, ICANN staff, ICANN 
board, former ICANN board, etc. would not be purged). Then, I'd reach out to a 
contact from each constituency who could then forward from time to time a list 
of people who wanted to opt-in to the new and improved GA list.

But, it would be better if there was just a brand new list created, and folks 
could opt-in to it via their constituency leaders (i.e. by sending a list of 
new subscribers to Glen or someone else from time to time). This is done all 
the time for task forces, see:

http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/

for a list of all the current (and past) mailing lists kept by the GNSO.

Unsubscribing from the new list could be automated. But, subscribing would be 
manual (or access to activate new subscribers restricted to leaders of 
constituencies). It wouldn't be too hard to create such a new list. Then, folks 
would have a choice, and I suspect a lot of folks given that choice would 
unsubscribe from this one and choose the other list, as a true cross 
constituency mailing list would have a far better signal-to-noise ratio.

Sincerely,
