I'm with those who don't favour a closed list. Mainly because I subscribe to the FOI list, and the HE people very kindly let us use it. Records Management list should be about records management issues, and there are few of us around to make the list closed to outsiders.
Anyway, in order to reduce the amount of mail coming in to our local government server, which is of interest to me alone, I subscribe via my personal email address. If you close the list I'd have to subscribe via my work address and have to handle large quantities of mail which I would normally delete after reading anyway.
Isn't records management about selection?
