Perhaps this is good, sort the wheat from the chaff - we are supposed to be a society after all! - but my feeling is that treading should be done carefully. All features should be very much opt-in rather than opt-out.

I can't offer confirmation that Chapter Delegates or any of the current<br>
email lists are here to stay. Or that they will disappear. What we are<br>
most focused on now is that as many conversations as possible occur in<br>
Connect. The benefits to everyone are clear: an opportunity to get a<br>
digest, the organization of a timeline and archive, the opportunity for<br>
supporting documentation easily found and existing one time in one<br>
version.<br>
<br>
We realize there are teething issues to be sure. And more, we know that<br>
there are features, abilities and foundations yet to be fully developed<br>
and rolled out. That is in the near and other future.<br>
<br>
My personal hope is that we do away with as many email lists as possible.<br>
Apologies if you think otherwise.<br>
<br>
Best regards, always,<br>
<br>
Ted<br>
