Now that we have an online membership database, it is possible -
trivial, in fact - for me to create a parallel mailing list consisting
of those who voted in the last election and self-affirmed their
membership of the IGC.  Members would not have to separately subscribe
or unsubscribe; subscription to the parallel list would be automatic for
members of the main list who voted, and unsubscription from the main
list would propagate to the parallel list.  The archives of the parallel
list could be restricted to its members.  However for privacy reasons I
would like to ask whether anyone objects to being included on such a
list?  Also, are there any concerns that this would breach our charter
(I don't think so, myself)?
