Would this be workable with a Digest version? If Project members were subbed in digest would it cut down on the number of bounces?

The Board members would be added to the accept list - meaning that only they could post. CCs would not be able to post to Board-L but could be subscribed to the list to receive all posts to the list directly without receiving a daily recap with a twist from elsewhere. Board members who felt that they had to send list mail immediately to other lists would lose some of their punch as interested CCs could get the information directly sans other list(s). I would receive bounce messages including those who have trouble subbing, those who can't remember how to unsub, those who forget to notify a change of address and those that have ISP or account problems.

It would mean that Tim would get a lot of "not a subscriber" mail from folks who can't resist hitting the reply button, but that would be HIS problem <grinning at Tim>. The CC's would need to check to whom the e-mail is being sent before hitting the send button.

This one was buried under the subjectline: Sweeping Out the Corners and I quote: Motion 99-34 - announced as open for discussion on 12/16: 'Now that Joy's motion "to open subscription to BOARD-L on a read-only basis" has received a second from Shari - the Motion numbered 99-34 is now open for discussion.' I would like to hear something about the technical pros and/or cons of this.

If this is technically not a difficulty, I am all for it as it would also enable subscribers to reply dircetoly to a board member's email, thus facilitating hearing from our constituency.

After being asked by a couple of Board members, last night in IRC, I'm delaying the vote on Motion 99-34 to see if anyone has further discussion on the Motion. Thanks, Tim

Recess is declared as being over. Now back to the grindstone! Tim

Fellow board members: Now that we have survived the Y2K media hype, it is time to begin thinking about the elections this summer. We need to begin thinking about where to hold the election -- rootsweb or an independent site. If an independent site, what is the definition of an independent site? I can probably arrange to host the election on a server at a Catholic University, run by a Bangla Deshi with no American genealogy. But since I make the arrangements, does that make it suspect?? The only way to truly take the suspicions out of the election would be to hire an outside accounting firm, such as Price-Waterhouse to conduct the elections. (They do the elections for the Academy Awards every year, and I have never heard a runner-up asking for a re-count) This will cost $$$$. Since we have a whopping $0 in our treasury and no budget or income, we would have to consider some kind of fund-raising to cover the cost. I am open to other suggestions from the board members and from the CC's as well, but we need to begin a dialogue on this matter so that elections can take place on schedule according to the By-Laws.
