Another approach, however, may be for those not directly interested to simply change their subscription options to the once a day digest version. That too would reduce the frequency of messages. Just a thought...

<br>in geneva - not because they are not interested in following the process,<br>but because the volume of the list is simply too high.<br><br>This always happens during prepcom as we use the list intensively for<br>discussions, planning, drafting, reporting - some of which is very
<br>important to those of us present, but which has a very short 'shelf-life'<br>and is not very useful to those following remotely.<br><br>I was wondering if it would be useful to create a new list which would<br>simply be for reports, drafts of statements and final statements.
<br><br>For example, anyone who is monitoring sub-committee, reports from the CS<br>bureau meetings, reports from meetings with government delegatations etc.<br><br>I think people participating remotely would miss the 'sense' or 'feel' of
<br>the process, but if this was important, they would need to stay subscribed<br>to the plenary.<br><br>I would be happy to put some time into this, for example, by liaising with<br>monitors of sub-committee, our working group focal points etc, and posting
<br>reports to this new list with clear subject lines - and - to post copies of<br>reports that have been written to date.<br><br>the list could be called plenary-reports (or something similar)<br><br>karen<br><br><br>_______________________________________________
