[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] End of hosting of mailing lists, input requested

[Paula Philbrook]

Thank you Tim for nurturing us all these years with connection!

Merge into one list send responsible.

Names are symbolic.  The wedge blade was a common symbol of both
organizationally but it doesn’t resonate with me right now.

I am in favor of OE~ICA holding the space for now until we have a different
plan.
