Decision: Call for Consensus (CfC): Set up moderated public subscription to ARIA working list,

Colleagues:

The following decision is being copied to the PFWG because not all of us who
participate in ARIA work are yet joined to the new ARIA Working Group,
and consequently not all of us are subscribed to the new ARIA list.
