HI Tim

Thank you for your work over the years.  I would be in favor of one list continuing.  Dialog sounds fine for me as a name.

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
