The list is used to help judges organize themselves, finalize policy, and set procedures to enforce rules. It is primarily directed to those who issue cancels. Secondarily, to those who survey cancels issued, in order to ensure that the cancel facility is not being abused. General policy discussion is conducted in the UseNet newsgroup news.admin.policy.
