[OldNorthBoard] Fwd: Re: [OldNorth] Planning for 435 G

[Andrew P. Wallace]

On the website....

Only members of the mailing list can post to the mailing list (anyone can
automatically become a member of the mailing list).  If a request is
rejected, then the person who received the notice of a rejected posting
receives a message with information on the problem.  This all happens
automatically without any personal intervention.

Also, to get posted on the website, the request generally needs to be
specific (i.e. "Please post to the website" or "Please post to members",
etc)

At this point, if there are any meeting minutes on the meeting, then we can
post those.

Regards,
Andy Wallace
