Could we get mailing lists set up for FOSS4G NA 2013. We need two lists
right now:
FOSS4GNA2013-LOC Local Organizing Committee List
FOSS4GNA2013-Program Program Committee
Thanks!

I'd prefer not to make a new list every single year. Can we make a generic
non-year specific list and keep reusing?

Comment(by bitner):
The rationale for a new list each year is that the organizing group is
completely different from one year to the next. There is no previous list
for the North America event as that list was hosted outside of OSGeo.
Additionally planning a conference often takes more than a year and as
such subsequent years may overlap each other.

Comment(by wildintellect):
The rational makes sense, I'm just concerned with clutter. Do we have or
can we make a policy to retire certain lists at various dates, to keep the
mail list management cleaner? With such a plan in place I have no
objections to the list creation.
If we retire lists, we should of course ensure archives exist in
appropriate places before removing them from the list server.

I think getting rid of the clutter makes a lot of sense. To me, one year
should be sufficient for any wrap up communication about a conference (ie
finances, getting presentations posted etc.). I think this policy would
need to be something pushed through SAC and forwarded to the Board with a
limited scope to deal with event planning lists. As to these specific
lists, I am happy to recommend removal of the lists one year after close
of the conference.

Is there anything holding up getting this list for now with regard to
getting a policy in place?
