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

[mary hampton]

 Onw moew word towards consensus.  One list by any name.  OE is most my community. OE/ICA is fine.
Thank you, Tim for your care and service these many years.

 I agree with one list, and please keep OE in the name (that's what it was when I got involved). OE/ICA or something like it.
Thank you Tim for your ongoing service.

Subject: Re: [Oe List ...] [External] Re: [Dialogue] End of hosting of mailing lists, input requested I hate the idea of losing this dialogue altogether.  It does seem like one email thread would be adequate.  As a 2G member, my interest is actually more on the OE side than ICA, so while it's just semantics, I'd vote for a name that includes OE. Maybe OE/ICA Dialogue? I'm certainly not going to stomp off in  huff if you choose to just use ICA.  😄
Thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do, Tim! 
Fond regards, Shelley Hahn

Tim and Richard, thank you for letting us know about the vulnerability of losing mailing lists. Frankly, I know so little about mailing lists that I can offer no helpful response.
 BUT I DO KNOW THIS: contact with members of the Current-Once & Future EI /OE/ICA is of tremendous value.  Dialogue among our colleagues contributes greatly to my physical and mental health. Maybe it also contributes to the world's health. Written access is vital. 
So, for the next weeks, I will seek to correct my ignorance. Learn about our mailing lists. Make an informed recommendation. Thank you for your work. Vincente Scott

Dreamhost, the host of the dialogue, oe, and earthrise mailing lists, just informed me that they are ending support for discussion lists on July 21, 2026. This means that unless we act, these three mailing lists will end on that date.
I want to discuss some options, and I would very much like folks here to weigh in.
1. First option is to do nothing, which means that these mailing lists will cease to exist on July 21. Terry Bergdal  has opted to do this for his Earthrise list. I am open to ending OE and Dialogue as well.
2. The second option is to find another host for one or both lists. If we do this, I suggest one list because the distinction between the two lists (originally OE and ICA) has become very unclear. I think one list will suffice, the only question is what to call it. Maybe dialogue, oe-dialogue, or oe-ica?
The OE and Dialogue lists are not very active, but I see at least on reason to continue: to provide a way to communicate life transitions to the  larger community.
Sooner or later these lists would end anyway (I am turning 80 soon), but I had assumed they would continue for a few more years. I would appreciate input on whether one list should continue past July 21st (and what to call it), or if this is a good time  to end both the lists.
Thanks,
Tim Wegner
