I too question the need for a private mailing list. We should require more
than a just a "consistent request" before we reduce transparency and create
yet another walled garden away from the community.

Got it. Thanks Varnent.
Regarding the privacy question: I'm sort of thinking that if we really want
to keep the new list private for legal or other reasons, it should be run
outside of WMF servers like the chapters list is. On the other hand, if the
purpose of the new list is to facilitate discussion among affiliates in a
smaller and less public group while still being open to WMF employees to a
limited degree, then the hosting proposed here makes sense. Personally, I
get the sense that the affiliate and WMF relationships have generally
(there are exceptions) warmed a bit over the past couple of years as
affiliate governance and leadership have evolved and as WMF's evaluation
capacity has improved, so I'm fine with the new design. Thanks for working
on this.

Hey Pine,
As you know, AffCom started looking into this list after some discussions
with affiliates in Berlin, Wikimania, and at that page you referred to.
We
did talk with that list’s moderators about
potentially reusing that list
(largely why the creation of this list took awhile). However, ultimately,
we decided to proceed with the creation of this list.
The old list is not on Wikimedia servers or officially connected to
AffCom, so I cannot speak to its future. However, it has becoming
increasingly inactive, is limited to chapters (so excludes a majority of
our affiliates), and not something we have promoted recently. My personal
hope is that this new broader list replaces that one over time, but that
is
not something we can “force” as it’s not a
resource we officially help
manage.

Hi Carlos,
Can you clarify how this list relates to the existing chapters mailing
list? (Also, please see the discussion at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Affiliates_Network#Mailing_l…
).
Thanks,
Pine
