From memsvcs at arin.net Thu Nov 7 09:07:59 2002 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2002 09:07:59 -0500 (EST) Subject: [clew] Final Post Message-ID: On October 31, 2002 at the ARIN X meetings in Eugene, Oregon, CLEW Chairman Bill Darte proposed that the working group and its mailing list be disbanded. There was unanimous consent from the meeting attendees to take this action. Bill cited inactivity on the mailing list and limited audience participation during CLEW sessions at the last several ARIN meetings. Past contributions from CLEW should be recognized. CLEW provided valuable input over the years and served as a catalyst for many actions including: -- creation of documentation and faqs -- introduction of tutorials at ARIN meetings -- creation of quarterly ARIN Today newsletter -- guidance on website redesign -- training initiatives such as the cbt Bill emphasized that many avenues currently exist for community and member input to ARIN on training and education initiatives. Feedback through the arin-discuss and member services mailing lists is encouraged. The topic will be raised at future ARIN meetings. On behalf of the ARIN staff and ARIN community I thank Bill Darte for his years of service as the CLEW Working Group Chairman. He brought insight, enthusiasm, and persistence to his charge. This is the last post to the CLEW mailing list. The mailing list archive will remain available on the ARIN website at the following URL: http://www.arin.net/mailing_lists/index.html Raymond A.
