The Document Foundation strives for and pro-actively works towards fostering an environment of collaborative work which is fully open and inclusive. Clear channels of communications between all the varied participants in such a distributed environment is paramount in attaining such a goal.

However in the course of exercising necessary oversight and prudence a small set of mailing lists with limited, non public, access are necessary.

In order to best address the competing needs of openness on the one hand and the requirement, from time to time, of confidentiality on the other such standing limited access (private) mailing lists are publicly disclosed here.

List	Function	Members
SC private	Steering Committee internal use	Steering committee members plus deputies, plus a few people who have been involved in the discussion of setting up a foundation, even before TDF was born. Recipient list should be re-defined by the new board of directors then, it's their decision who should stay on the list and who shouldn't.
AB private	Advisory Board internal use	Contains advisory board representatives, plus all the steering committee members and deputies.
Web infrastructure	internal use of system level admins	everyone who has root access to TDF managed servers
Security	internal use of security team	Selected LibreOffice developers, and representatives of various distributions.
Marketing private	pr drafting and readiness	Selected TDF members
Membership private	Discussion of membership applications	Members and deputies of the Membership Committee

The Document Foundation also creates limited access mailing lists for use for specific, one time, events where confidentiality is again a requirement. For an example: use of a private list in vetting submitter papers to an upcoming conference.
