Here are a few off the top of my head: (I'm sure there are others)
How will the transition take place? Subscribe from one, unsubscribe from
another? A true merger?
How is conflict resolution handled E.G. duplicate sign-ups? What about folks
who are already subscribed to both lists with the same
address, or maybe with different addresses?
What about rules? What are the significant rule changes between this list and
program. Does that in any way change in the new list,
etc.?
What happens with traffic? Is the list traffic going to double? Note: this is
an exponential number scaled by percentages. In
another words, you could claim that 15% of members post 10% of the time, but
once you grow those members, then this number scales up
quickly. The practical concern here is the fallout of that percentage math. For
example, will 20 posts a day shoot up to 50, 60?
Stay at 20? What?
Why wasn't this discussed on the list before the decision was just made. Jamal
had some input, and apparently a few others, but only
now, after some folks are threatening to leave, or are leaving, is it only
getting discussed?
What is the reason for merging the lists? You said so that there is only one
list for programming for the blind. I take it to be
consolidation, then?
Thanks much
Take care,
Sina

Hello Everyone,
A couple of people have expressed concern about merging the two lists. I will
review input from all list members sent from now until
next Monday.
Send your feedback now and I will give everyone an update next Tuesday morning.
