Perhaps it's time to think about enhancements to the NANOG list...?

I don’t understand the impact. Those who are comfortable with using the mailing list via email would just keep doing what they are doing now. With the exact same email address. There should be no procedural changes. In theory, we could make the change tomorrow, and you shouldn’t notice a difference.

That said, we are going to do extensive test with the board, staff, NANOG committees, and beta testers. No changes will be made without extensive testing, committee and community feedback, and  board approval.  We will not make any changes until we are certain that there will be adverse effects for our community.
