For those not familiar with this list's history, it was started in the
mid-1990s and was the location where the seminal discussion on .AU
happened. The discussion involved key members of the nascent Internet
community in Australia, and was the hub of activity that lead to the
creation of auDA to manage the the .AU space.

Today the list if effectively dormant. auDA does not use it to disseminate
or discuss issues relating to .AU, and there are little in the way of
community discussion here on .AU. For example, auDA saw fit to report to
the AusNOG mailing list about DNSSEC initiatives in .AU, but not here
(http://lists.ausnog.net/pipermail/ausnog/2014-March/023181.html)

I'd like to pose the question whether this forum should be retired.
There is certainly no problem sustaining its existence if it continues
to fulfil a purpose. However, it may be its time has come after 20 years
and is no longer a needed part of the community.

I'd appreciate members' thoughts.
