Please don't shoot me, either, even if I am a simpleton. Can't we just keep the list but re-name it? No pain to anybody already on it, removes poor Cilip of the burden of people thinking they own it. Go on, tell me it's not that easy, I expect it won't be.

My Group Councillor has emailed me to say that the proposal to close this list was agreed in Council last week. Now, I know there has been discussion on the list about who the list owner is and who has the power to close the list, so there is no need to rehash all that unless someone has a definitive answer, but I thought others would like to know. It seems clear from the feedback I received that CILIP Council felt the name of this list implied that they owned it and that this was undesirable. It was also felt that the Communities of Practice would be viable as an alternative and that they would have the ability to "push" messages once a member has elected to receive them. Reassurance was given that the list would not be closed until such time as the Communities of Practice had proved themselves viable and that the list membership would be merged with another suitable list from the LIS stable, such as LIS-LINK.
