[chapter-delegates] problem on the server for this mailing list

[James M Galvin]

Irwan,

Thanks for the report.  In the future, it would be best if you would 
send messages like this directly to the staff.  Any staff member will 
do (David McAuley, Nelson Sanchez, Terry Weigler) since they will 
forward it appropriately, although in general IT issues can be sent to 
Anne Shroeder.

Please note that today, Monday, 30 May, is a holiday in the US.  ISOC 
is officially closed in the US.

With respect to your issue, the chapter-delegates mailing list is the 
only ISOC mailing list that has not yet moved to its new primary list 
server.  That will be completed shortly and I suspect the issues you 
are seeing will be resolved at that time.

Jim
