I'm curious as to what was the process by which the executive committee sought input from AoIR members. Please will someone clarify how this (and other decisions) are taken (hopefully as democratically as possible). I'm fairly new to AoIR.

It's strange to see that people, studying Computer Mediated Communications don't understand how crucial such changes in settings may be to the communication and community in general. Please, change your mind and revert this setting back. Best wishes, Alexander. 2009/5/11 jeremy hunsinger <jhuns@vt.edu>
gotta say, that... I think this is very detrimental to the community. This change fundamentally destroys the conversation construed as a group, and forces it to be between individuals, unless they consciously choose otherwise. This is a change I've always been against and I am against it now. Air-l should be about collegiality and sharing, not about replying to individuals. I think this setting should be reverted asap.

Up until now on air-l, replies to messages posted to the list went, by
default, to air-l. The default reply setting for air-l has been changed. As of now, replies to list posts will go privately to the message poster and not to air-l. If you would like people on the list to see your reply, you will need to manually insert the air-l address into the To: field of your reply.
Thanks for your attention to this change,
