Hi

I emailed [log in to unmask] enquiring about the status of lis-link and lis-cilip, and if they could be retained should CILIP wish to close them, the answer I got is below...   It seems as simple as we as list users, requesting that JISCMAIL transfer ownership of the lists to a new moderator, should the existing named owner(s) decide to close the list(s). They also said it is possible to re-name lis-cilip.

So there is a way of retaining the lists should CILIP decide to close them.

Hi Paul

If as you say, the majority of the list users wish to keep these two lists running, then we wouldn't wish to close them, and in fact, CILIP are not registered owners of the lists. It may be a good idea to re-name
lis-cilip in some way, if CILIP object to their name being used, and I can see that this has been suggested by list members.
Please contact both lists' owners at the [log in to unmask] , and then get back to me.  If they are happy to continue as owners, then that is fine, but if not, we will need a new owner from an ac.uk domain to take over.

Best wishes
