  hi everyone

  Thanks anriette for responding.. nothing to add from me.. 

  adam and i continue to check legitimate subscriptions when we can - but we provide no moderation (and to be honest - the list has never been moderated in the sense of moderating content - the list has always been self-moderated by the community of subscribed users). 

  However, in this instance, we have removed the offending address.

  I am going to ask our technical support people to look into the possible hacking of subscribed addresses

    Hello all

    Just to confirm what has been said:

    - APC is still donating server time and space towards hosting this list

    - Subscription is public, so anyone can subscribe, but the request for
    subscription is held for approval by the volunteer moderators who are,
    currently, Adam Peake and Karen Banks

    - However, the spirit of this list has been one of open and free
    participation, and it is in no way linked to WSIS accreditation;
    therefore the moderators are not under any obligation to spend too much
    time on checking who new subscribers are.. as long as they appear to
    have some interest in information society issues potential subscribers
    are likely to be approved

    - The purpose of the list has evolved, and while it is has been less
    active, it could still play a role in sharing information, and, as
    Charles Geiger has pointed out, to communicate specifically around the
    WSIS follow-up process which for many of us is still important

    APC is happy to continue to support this list, but we are not in a
    position to monitor it closely. That we leave to the participants.. and
    based on the discussion in this thread, you are doing a very good job at
    dealing with inappropriate content.

    Best

    Anriette
