I would ask that people turn off the copyright notice signatures unless those sigs specifically grant the contents of the email into the public domain or otherwise allow unrestricted public use. Many of these signatures place restrictions on the use of the email that violate the spirit of an open process, and I believe that in some cases these sigs may even cause the mailing list archive to be in violation of copyright law. If you choose to use a copyright notice sig, please use one tailored specifically for the WHAT WG mailing list, and please ensure that the notice does not impair the use of your emails in a public forum. If you wish to communicate private or confidential information, please email people directly and do not sent emails containing this information to the mailing list.
