- The results of two RFD's provided a pretty clear direction of what groups we
- should have. The one unresolved issue is how the info-iris mailing list will
- be handled. Although no one objected to my proposal, I have NEVER been able
- to get in touch with the administrator of the info-iris list to see if the
- proposal is okay with him and if he would be willing to implement it. This
- doesn't really suprise me given the fact that people always have a real
- difficult time getting on and off this mailing list.
-
- I can think of a couple of possible solutions:
-
- - Proceed to a vote and do nothing about the info-iris mailing list and let
- the administrator of the mailing list worry about how to handle things.
- This probably won't be acceptable to the many people who read this newsgroup
- that way.
- - Someone else volunteer to handle the info-iris mailing lists and force
- people to re-subscribe.
- - Chuck Kennedy actually contacts me and works out a way to handle the group
- split up.
