[Lnc-business] IMPLEMENTATION CHANGE - Email Ballot 2014-05: LNC-Discuss Email List

[Wes Benedict]

We experienced a few minor challenges upon trying to implement this.

SHORT STORY
To make a long story short, at the direction of the Chair, we plan to 
discontinue using  [LNC-Discuss], and start using [Lnc-business] for 
all  purposes, instead of having two lists: [Lnc-business] for voting, 
and [LNC-Discuss] for discussion.

LONG STORY
The solutions that were implemented at first:
http://hq.lp.org/pipermail/lnc-reflector_hq.lp.org/2014/date.html
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/lnc-discuss-reflector


were found to be not user-friendly enough because you can't see who the 
author of the emails are as easily as you can the way this was done:

http://hq.lp.org/pipermail/lnc-business_hq.lp.org/2014/date.html


We can't simply make the existing LNC-Discuss archives visible from June 
30, 2014 forward, without either showing all the earlier archives going 
back many years, or deleting them.

Other reasonable suggestions have been made and thought about, but have 
all been found to be somewhat of a costly effort to implement.

Secretary Mattson has stated that using LNC-Business will not interfere 
with her vote tracking method.

I'm not sure the start time for this. I'm going to start writing to both 
groups for now.
Perhaps our Chair could issue a notice to both lists saying "FREEZE 
LNC-DISCUSS!!", at which point staff could freeze that list thus causing 
LNC-Business to be used.
