RE: Mailing list maintenance and change for LLD XG community

I see no reason why the two-list system cannot work effectively, as long as
the list manager keeps on top of matters and I assume he/she will. 

I suggest the following simple rules: 

1. the housekeeping list should be moderated, and all messages approved by
the list manager.
2. No cross posting allowed. No exceptions. 
3. Messages that include any substantive content to the housekeeping list
rejected. (This of course would require the judgement of the list manager.)

With these three rules, this should work fine.

Similar to others, I don't think this is a good idea to have two lists. 
I don't really see the rationale for such a setup except if you would like
to encourage cross-posting which I'm sure you don't want.

Is it for keeping away the interested reader from the (boring) day-to-day
management of the group (telecon agenda, actions tracking,
etc.) and hoping that only core discussions will happen on
public-lld@w3.org? Then you're wrong. People will never know to which list
to post ... they will either cross-post or you will have bit of discussion
on one list and the rest on the other. People are smart enough to filter
down and don't read messages that they don't care (e.g. 
the weekly agenda).

In a nutshell: keep it simple. Use ONE list, public!
