Dear RIPE Community,

Since the Local IR mailing list <local-ir at ripe.net> is a closed list
and only open for contributing registries, it was requested to create
a new mailing list for the Local IR Working Group that is open to
everyone interested.  This new mailing list is called 

                <lir-wg at ripe.net>


Below you find a short summary to clarify the difference between these
two lists:

local-ir at ripe.net
- All issues that only concern contributing Local IR's are send to 
  this list
- is a CLOSED list, only open to contributing Local IR's
- Subscription is not managed by majordomo, but maintained manually 
  by the RIPE NCC
- All contributing LIR's are automatically subscribed

lir-wg at ripe.net:
- All issues related to the LIR Working Group like Meeting Agendas,
  document revisions and such are sent to this list
- All LIR Working Group discussions take place on this list
- is an OPEN list, everyone can subscribe
- Subscription is managed by majordomo
- <local-ir at ripe.net> is automatically subscribed to this list, so
  - contributing registries don't need to be subscribed to both lists
  - mail does not need to be sent to both lists


All 'guests' that were previously subscribed to local-ir have now been
moved to lir-wg. I don't expect this to be much of a problem, but if
it is: flames to me please.

Kind regards,

Roderik Muit
