Motivation: As resolved by the Board of Trustees (see: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Funds_Dissemination_Committee/2012_FDC_members), the Funds Dissemination Committee has been created and needs some communications tools, such as a mailing list. Suggested name of the list: fdc-l Initial administrators email: patricio.lorente@gmail.com Thanks, [[meta:user:Patricio.lorente]]

Hi Patricio, Per the list standardisation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Standardization#Naming_scheme we are dropping the -l so the list name would just be "FDC". Will this be an open mailing list, with public archives and to allow anyone to join? Please could you also provide the email address for a secondary list administrator? Thanks!

Let's start with a private one, and then will see if that changes. > > Please could you also provide the email address for a secondary list > administrator? Yes, jdevreede@wikimedia.org

This is something we are strongly avoiding for all lists to prevent any potential breakage of Mailman.
I'm creating this. We have a valid request from the Board of Trustees for a mailing list, for a group that will undoubtably have some confidential things to discuss. Whether they decide to have a public mailing list or not, there is need for this one. pb
