It seems reasonable to have one list (NA Discuss) open for public discussions with everybody contributing and one list for voting purposes with only voting members on it (NA-ALS). Perhaps what we need to discourage is having people post to both when posting to only one is what is needed. Just my two-cents worth.

It's perhaps not the most efficient way of recording votes, but let's keep the "official" voting list until we come up with a better solution. Bret As to the list, as previously stated, my understanding is that this will remain in use for voting delegates - if that's not true, we can get rid of it.
