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.

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.</div><div><div><br><div dir="ltr"><br><div><div dir="auto" class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><b class="" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Edward McNair</b></div><div dir="auto" class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Executive Director</span></div><div dir="auto" class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br class=""><a href="mailto:emcnair@nanog.org" class="">emcnair@nanog.org</a> | <a href="tel:+1%20866-902-1336;102" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="3">+1 866-902-1336 ext. 102</a> | <a href="http://www.nanog.org/" class="">www.nanog.org</a></span></div><div dir="auto" class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">NANOG | <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://5" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="address" x-apple-data-detectors-result="5" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);">305 E.
