receiving community comments

With the goal of setting up a mechanism to collect community comments, these are the goals I'm capturing in our meeting:
1. A mailbox for collecting community comments 2. The messages would be publicly displayed so that: 1. the commenters can confirm that each comment has been received, and 2. it is easy to collate and publish the comments later in the report 3. The comments are not meant to be a community discussion list.
While these goals can be accomplished via a mailing list, I think that it would be useful to display the comments in a way that is not in the typical mailing list archive format. I would think that we wouldn't want to set the expectation that there is a mailing list that can be subscribed to for a full email discussion.
And it **might** be useful for the RC members also receive each comment in our mailbox to ease searches with the members individually subscribed to this comment list.
If someone has a better suggestion for receiving, displaying, and collating comments, please speak up. I'm simply recognizing that a mailing list engine is a familiar backend tool to help us with this.

I agree that it should not be a discussion list. Also let's think if there is any better solution for gathering and later search thorough all comments than a mail list.

Thank you, Nicolas. And our tool "decision" might be simplified in that we don't even need to address the comments directly.
I had put "decision" in quotes because it may be easy enough to just agree on the goals and requirements, and then let our Secretariat make some suggestions prior to implementation. Trying to think light-weight..... :)

Hi,
Is it possible to use the 'commenting system', for ASO/AC BoT selection?

May I suggest to move this question to the right list (AC-COORD) Otherwise we’ll be having non related topics discussion in the IANA RC list, it can bring only confusion.

Could you clarify if your comment was related to the ASO AC board election, at least I understood it that way.
Sorry, the just mention of the ASO AC in the RC list raised my attention.
Indeed the commenting system discussion it’s part of this list.

Yes, sure. Comments from the community should be open to public, should be easy to access. I think mailing list archives have some issues for that purpose.
I do not think it is best solution, but it might be one potion for collecting and listing community comments.

Ok, that’s clear now.
We, as secretariat, can work in the best solution for the specification of the RC for the commenting system.
The one mentioned by Tomohiro works well for the supporting records for nominations to the ICANN Board.
