The dichotomy of "restricted" vs. "open" might be interpreted in a misleading 
way. As far as I am concerned (and I would be very surprised if Antony sees 
this differently), any interested IAOA member is welcome to join the education 
committee and its subcommittees. Thus, no IAOA member is restricted from 
participating in the lexicon project.     (03)

Thus, the only choice is whether the discussion within the subcommittee should 
take place on the general IAOA member list or on some other list. One reason 
for having specialized committees and associated mailing list is that not 
everybody in the IAOA is interested in everything that is going on. Thus, it 
seems obvious to me that we don't want to have a terminology discussion on the 
IAOA member list, but on a mailing list whose audience is restricted to people 
who are likely interested in the subject. So either the discussion should 
happen on a designated mailing list for the subcommittee or it should happen on 
the education committee list.     (04)

I recommend to continue to use the education committee list, because you will 
get the benefit of contributions from people  who are interested but do not 
have the time to commit to regular contributions. Frank's email is a good case 
in point. By the way, all EC council members are on the education mailing list; 
thus, this is also a way to keep the EC in the loop.     (05)
