Again the statement to drop communication for a relevant minority. Sorry, 1) is not a first class solution, it is just a way to make the problem disppear. You are council member (representing all community members, since AFAIK we have no politic parties here) , how can you so lightheartly do this? For me 2) is the better and IMHO only option and I like to hear from you as a council member where the problem is with this approach? Syncing TMO and mailing lists is long discussed (and even long before current council if I remember correctly), but it never came. Why? Are there technical reason? If yes, they should at least be mentioned in this thread to make us start looking for alternative solutions? We now have several statements that TMO and mailing list may split the community and do harm and that people likely not move to the other side that easily that you wish they do.
