Personally I feel listless about the whole thing!

Also, if they did object, the name could simply be changed, although I am guessing this may affect how people use the list (links to the list, email address etc.) paul Paul Catherall MA(Dist) MCLIP APHEA Web Developer | Datblygwr y We Information & Student Services | Gwasanaethau Myfyrwyr a Gwybodaeth North East Wales Institute of HE | Athrofa Addysg Uwch Gogledd Ddwyrain Cymru Mold Road | Ffordd yr Wyddgrug Wrexham | Wrecsam LL11 2AW Tel | Ffôn : 01978293341 (Internal | Mewnol: 3341) Mobile | Ffôn symudol : 07947561411 Email | E-bost: [log in to unmask] http://www.newi.ac.uk ________________________________ From: Chartered Library and Information Professionals on behalf of C.Oppenheim Sent: Thu 06/07/2006 15:55 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Closure of this list - Feedback from JISCMAIL libprof has a nice ring about it.

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. rgds Paul --------------------------------------------------- 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 Sarah JISCmail Helpline http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk
