Thanks for this Nicky
Bad move by Cilip I think, depressing and ill judged, and I must say I
am surprised to an extent.

Subject: Closure of this list
Just a heads up as I haven't heard anything here about this for a while.
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.
Please don't shoot me, I'm just a messenger!
