Steve,

I think this is a great idea and I volunteer my services as a NELUG rep.  If

you want more reps from NELUG I am sure I could get a volunteer or two.  Now

GATS doesn't come our way but several groups have done Greenberg shows and I am

sure we could benefit is the same way in terms of honorariums.

Well at Pair Networks where the NELUG site is hosted we have a free Mailing

list option at the moment.  We have our NELUG Mailing list there.  Anyway I

could set it up and add a couple other folks as admins and we would be ready to

go.  I do highly recommend this as it has worked beautifully for NELUG purposes

so far.  Among other things this list can either be open or closed to the

public depending on lots of preferance to choose from.

If there ever comes a time that they start charging for the service we would

either need to find another service or collect some minimal dues in order to

cover it.  I doubt that would be any time in the forseeable future however.

Anyway after there is some more feedback and ideas here I can set this up when

people are ready.
