Re: [gnso-thickwhoispdp-wg] thinking about people who signed up for future-subgroups

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

well, the holiday season is drawing to a close.  so i thought i'd nudge us back 
into action with a followup to this note.

i haven't heard any complaints about this idea so Marika could you kick off the 
list-creation exercise?  and along the way, could you subscribe me to all the 
subgroup lists as well?  i'm just interested in following along -- i promise i 
won't tinker.  :-)

thanks,

mikey
