[ILUG] New Mailing List Motion

[Gareth Eason]

[snipped]

	Hi,

	The motion which was voted on, and accepted, was noted by the outgoing 
chairperson.

	Niall: Could you please provide the exact wording of the motion?

	As I remember it, the motion was purely a statement that the committee 
were allowed, if they saw fit, to take measures and introduce moderation 
of non-subscriber posts only, for the sole purpose of reducing spam.

	It did NOT state that we would moderate anything. It did NOT state that 
we would, in fact, change anything at all. It DID provide a mandate that 
the membership would like less spam on the list and that they would 
accept a committee decision, including moderation, that would result in 
less spam being on the list.

	It's my opinion that it's largely premature to be making the list 
moderated at this point in time, until the committee meet and have a 
discussion on what framework will be put in place, if any, to deal with 
this mandate.

	I hope I have interpreted the wishes of the attending members of the 
AGM correctly - please feel absolutely free to mail me either on list or 
off if I have not done so.

	Best regards,
	-->Gar
