List as a starting point fine!!...but need to bear in mind that discusssion lists have the habit of dying a sudden death or degerating intosomething else...if not well planned or roadmapped. We will need have a clear "agenda" for the list...the "what to do" part need to be addressed (not neccessary in details)... Also in the case of Africa..there is that added problem of having five different language zones...each of which will eventually require its own lists....and across- language-list discussion will be impossible..

Or perhaps let things be split up when the ALS of a region create a RALO. Managing a region's view of comments or a region-specific discuss and email list could be the responsibility of the RALO and supported by ALAC .. and an incentive for the ALSs in a region to take the step of creating a RALO kenOn 2003-11-04 14:59:50 +0100, Vittorio Bertola wrote:Thomas Roessler <roessler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 11/04/03 06:04AM >>>My quick proposal, as a first measure, would be to create a mailing list for each region, put one (or a few) person from each ALS on it, plus our regional members, and try to propagate there our discussion on the hot issues. (For example, these mailing lists should receive a copy of the alac@xxxxxxxxx list.) Also, these lists should start the discussion on regional organization, and could use the regional members to send back common opinions to the ALAC.I'd keep it cross-region in the beginning.
