Hi Christer,

Thanks for kicking off the discussion and asking the question.

Personally, I think there is rarely a need for a private mailing list.
Other than the handful of ones we already have (board, board-mentor,
legal and marketing-private) I don't see a real need - we should be as
transparent as we can as a free software organization.

I think in the rare case of having to create a list, we need to ask a
couple of questions first:

1.  Why do we need a private mailing list
2.  Who is the moderator - they are going to need to ask the questions
you asked above and maintain the list, especially if it's moderated
subscriptions.
3. Discuss with the moderator whether it's private archives, moderated
subscriptions and advertising the list name.

Paul
