There are also some specific mailing lists such as newdom, where Draft 
Postel was hashed out. Due to various circumstances, the list moved a 
couple of times. There is an archive here (zip, gz, & mbx format):

http://www.iahc.org/mail-lists.html

Also there's the iahc-discuss mailing list, which unfortunately has been 
censored (between Jan 28, 1997 and May 14, 1997) because of the highly 
negative response to the IAHC's final report - i.e. the formation of eDNS 
on the IAHC mailing list:

http://www.gtld-mou.org/gtld-discuss/mail-archive/

One of these days I'll get the shared-tld list archive online.

Best Regards,
