[iaoa-bylaws] Membership updates to this mailing list

[Frank Loebe]

Dear all,

since this mailing list has not been actively used since 2010 [1] and I'm
not aware of activities in the Bylaws Committee since late 2012, I'd like to
suggest and directly implement an update to the membership of this list.

This change is related with preparations towards a relocation of IAOA from
Italy to Switzerland. In particular, work on modifications of the IAOA
statute and bylaws in order to ensure coherence with Swiss law has started.
For this context, I'd like to prepare the mailing list with a set of
subscribers that are active in this effort, while I'd like to prevent active
members at former times from receiving email traffic that is possibly
unwanted by or unnecessary for them nowadays.

Accordingly and as my best guess, I'll keep or add only those who have
expressed their interest in the current effort in the last EC meeting (n.107
of Jul 24, 2014 [2]), whereas I'll unsubscribe everyone else. Those
unsubscribed will receive an automated unsubscription message from the
mailing list software.

I pursue this mainly as a matter of housekeeping (and under some time
constraints), whereas I have clearly no intention to exclude anyone who is
interested or willing to contribute. Please let me know if you prefer to
remain a member of this mailing list or issue a subscription request
directly [3]. Likewise please tell me if you find the overall approach (of
more or less direct unsubscription) inappropriate. Notably, the archive of
the list is publically accessible [4], as an alternative way of staying
informed.

Best regards,
Frank
