Hi Mark, The scope of the new mail list is much more restricted than the one of the clouds list. I acknowledge that there is a balance we all need to keep within reasonable limits between many too focused lists and lesser more general lists. My opinion is that it's better to discuss on lists that are focused on manageable and smaller lists of items. Hopefully not too many of them. BTW - was not clouds@ shut down? In any case I do not see it listed at http://www.ietf.org/list/nonwg.html.
