Have you a suggestion for where you would like to see them?

Also regardless of what is formally set up, anyone can ask questions via 
the mailing list, that option has been used every election that I have 
witnessed, I don't see that changing. I don't think it is reasonable to 
ask officials to curate mailing list posts. I think what we are 
discussing is something in addition to mailing list discussions. I don't 
think anything ever would (or should) replace what comes up on the 
mailing list.

Thanks,
Anita.
