Yeah, that term is more familiar to me too, whereas the SAA term seems to me like an oddity, both for ietf@ietf and in this case. I'd be happy to see suggested better terms but can also live with the oddity. To be honest, when I agreed to help look after the arch-d list, I didn't actually know the SAA term was how that was described - I only copped onto that a few weeks ago when I actually looked back at the text on the web page;-) And I haven't actually had to do anything acting in an SAA-role at all in the year since, which is good. (I did send less than a handful of mails for list management reasons but zero of a "do this or else" nature.) I'm nonetheless quite happy that Tommy is willing to help out in my inactivity! Other than that, I won't try answer all the mails, but there is no intent to change what's an ok topic for discussion, nor the scope of any list - this is all just bookkeeping, so at least from my POV, not a biggie. But if, as a result, we improve how the various lists are described, and people's understanding of that, that seems like an improvement. Lastly, wrt the other lists we might close, it was me who went over those and I only checked for recent traffic, so Tommy's mail doesn't mean "we want to shut down discussion" but rather "do we still need this?" If the i18n list is still periodically useful, then that's great and it'll not end up closed. (And to be open about it, one of the reasons we wanted to sort all this out was because as soon as we touched anything, we risked creating ambiguity as to whether the IAB might own this role for rfc-interest and rfced-future - and IIRC no IAB member wanted us to own that role for those lists, so we figured these tweaks would settle that.) Hope that helps, S.
