[afrinic-announce] Renaming of some afrinic.net mailing lists.

[Antony Cooper]

Dear Ayitey

If you look at the Subject line of the headers to these messages, you
will see that it does not include the "@afrinic.net" part.  Hence,
without an "afrinic" prefix to the mailing list's name, there is nothing
to identify it as an AFRINIC message.  As has been pointed out by
others, some of us subscribe to many mailing lists.  Getting emails from
[announce] or [service] is ambiguous.  Getting emails from
[spam-discuss] is an invitation to have them added to a kill file!

Regards
Antony

Hi,

I disagree, I think the "afrinic" prefix is unnecessary. All the lists

are '@afrinic.net' so we already know the organization we are dealing
with.

So I suggest

announce
resource-policy-discuss
service
spam-discuss

regards
Ayitey
