Markus proposed to use the Google Mailing Group to replace the current CDISC Mailinglist. Background, there were several cases where mails have not been forwarded to the team. Reasons are unknown as the administration is with the CDISC admins and only vague feedback was provided. Google Groups provides much more functionality as the current mailing list and provides full administration capabilities, including role assignement for users with Google accounts. However, the most important topic is a that a Google account is NOT required to be a member of the mailing list. This allows us to easily switch all curretnly currently registered CDISC DEUN mailing mailgroup members to the new listgoogle mailgroup.
Decision: It was agreed to switch and test the new mailing list. After 6 months we will rediscuss whether we stay with the new Google Mailgroup list or switch back to the CDISC aministered administrated mailing list.
Next steps: Markus will hide the registration possibility on the CDISC wiki for the current mailing list and will ask the CDISC admins for a current mailgroup member list. Then he will add all members to the new mailing list and send out an announcement to the usergroup members when all is done.
