>I move that we allow open subscription to BOARD-L on a read-only basis, >based on the suggestion of John Schunk. I like John's suggestion. As a supplement, if the new Board secretary has the time, I think it would also be a good idea to have a subscription list for a hand-compiled "Digest" version of the BOARD-L traffic. This would differ from simply subscribing to BOARD-L in digest form in that it would be minimally edited to remove such things as inclusions of entire messages being responded to (computer generated digests can be hard to read because you often have to separate out the new text from the half-dozen copies nested inside of replies), collate all votes on the same motion together instead of interspersing them with other mail, and truncate the individual message headers to just Date, Subject and From. (The BOARD-L message headers I get are 14 or more lines long, and all that X-Mailing-List, X-Loop, Precedence, Resent-Sender, X-Sender, Mime-Version, Old-To, X-Priority, X-MimeOLE, etc. stuff would make a digest hard to read.)
