This posting certainly seems to represent the consensus to this point.
What are your reactions to the following questions?  These are issues the
electronic services task force will need to address.

Would you see this "division list" as being separate from AECT-L, or
could AECT-L serve this function once its Vision 2000 mission is
complete?  If two separate lists, how would their purposes differ?

What if RTD should ask to set up a list to focus on a discussion of
current research in instructional technology?  Or to address an immediate
issue, what if the new CHANGE division should ask to establish a list
specifically to discuss systemic change in education?  Should we expect
these divisions to be satisfied with the response, "Sorry, but for now all
AECT divisions have to share the same list until the number of postings
justifies a mitosis"?  Or do we make exceptions for requests from
divisions that deal with specific categories of information?  What should
the task force recommend in its report?  I'd really like to hear from
division leaders on this one.
