RE: [ga] Cross Posting

Roberto,

I do no think the problem can be that easily brushed away. There are
situations when cross posting is very useful despite some people
inextricably linked to anything. I mentioned an illustrative example in
one of my previous mails. On the other hand, I can also understand that
there may be situations when some mails should perhaps not be being
spread out easily into more mailing lists, for instance, those critical
to the staff or the board members.

First of all, my T-shirts have always been clean, at least in the
beginning of the day. As the day proceeds, they get durty as much as a
shirt and tie would.

But more seriously, the dress code is not an absolute value, but is
relative to the community you operate in. The community gives itself
rules (and unless it is a Mickey Mouse group, it enforces them), and in
order to operate in the community you must obey the rules.
The ICANN meetings have a dress code that is different from a reception
given by an ambassador, for instance. A T-shirt, whatever your opinion
on the T-shirts is, is accepted in the former and not in the latter. On
the other hand, to go to an ICANN meeting dressed as you would go to a
nudist beach, would not be accepted, even if you had a shower just
before and are perfectly clean.

So, at the end of the day, the question is what is the "dress code" for
posting in the GA? This is inextricably linked to the type of people
that you would end up in hanging around.

Cheers,
Roberto

                Roberto,
         
        Your use of the concept of censorship is spot on.
         
        The illimination of people who express thoughts in a way that is
distasteful to some.
         
        I remember you showing up to Chair the GA physical meeting in
Melbourne. Most were in suits and nice dresses some in traditonal
national outfits as is fitting an international conference. You wore a
rather ratty ill fitting T-shirt, not even clean. I thought it totally
disrespectful. Elizabeth told me "we all have a right to express
ourselves the way we chose". It should be so on a list.
