I am not for or against either.. just putting thoughts out there.. NANOG-Legal would be a good thing for the legal eagles, and a more consuming one for those of us already on numerous lists.. all in all, NANOG as a whole single list usually inspires more information sharing when taken whole, IMHO....

Why not a nanog-legal list ?

I agree...Partially Legal issues are important, but those below a management level, mostly don't care.. I would not necessarily want another list to watch.. But, it sometimes get's overly consuming to look at topics I care less about...

anyway, that's my 10 cents worth.. Inflation ya know..

Whats wrong with the nanog-offtopic list ?

The legal issues are technical on-topic and nanog related. However, there are some that want to know what's going on in the legal system, and others that don't. At the same time, those wanting to keep track of legal issues may not want to be subscribed to nanog-offtopic.
