[pp.int.general] Moderated PPI discussion list

[Muriel]

Hello,

I think is good that we keep this list unmoderated, for those who enjoy the rough style, but that we set up an alternative list open to everyone, but with a minimum set of mutual respect rules, for those who prefer to discuss without being insulted.

This way we can benefit from everyone's contributions, and not only those who are tough enough to discuss in these terms or that have the know-how to set the adequate filters. 

In my experience, just knowing that there are some rules makes people much more respectful, which means that in practice rarely any moderation is needed.

Would the PPI board be willing to adopt the task of maintaining such a moderated discussion list?

Of course, the board would be free to delegate this task, but being an official PPI mailing list would mean that the board could always appoint a different responsible in case of conflict, or if the interest of the appointed responsible faded out with time.  :-) 

Best regards,

             Muriel
