I'd like to help too, that's why I thought implementing the committee/panel
idea would be useful <http://www.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=4547>, but that

This has to come from Todd, we can't self organize this.

I think there are two main issues:
1) Is this a good time to start a LUGNET panel to deal with regulatory issues?
I think that quite a few people think that it is - most importantly though -
does Todd? My interpretation of the various hints was that he thought it was
a good time too - although I admit that it's hard to draw such conclusions over
the net, so my interpretation could be squiffy!

2) If it was a good time, then would it be 'better' to self-organise such a
system? That isn't to say that self-organisation would necessarily create a
better, productive, efficient, fair system! One of the main reasons why I have
assumed that Todd was waiting for us to self-organise, is that it is the surest
way to tell that it comes at the correct time - rather than Todd scouting for
volunteers, asking them to vote etc, at a time when the community isn't mature
enough to handle that.

Todd - I rarely invoke you directly :) - if I am assuming too much then please
let me know and I'll apologise for wasting everyones time!


Further I'm not sure groups are the right way to go, perhaps a mailing list?

Yeah - a mailing list has the advantage that it's easy to set up, whereas if
you want private discussions in a newsgroup, then more development work might
need to be done! A group would have an advantage of acting as a
learning and reference resource though - email will get lost at least in some
cases, as people delete it, or don't save it to the correct folder etc.

(...) Use something like onelist. The mails are available forever. (note, I said something LIKE onelist... actually Todd has the technology to do this, I think, without going outside his own sandbox) (25 years ago, 20-Feb-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I think you said it about right -- it's not wise IMHO to try to push people into thing, but rather to be available to help set things up when the time is right. (...) I tend to think that anything which can't be discussed openly in an open (...) (25 years ago, 20-Feb-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
