We can send a first email, saying if they don't want to be in the ML
they can remove themselves. Unclear to me, however, how one could
participate to an assosiation refusing to use its decision tools.

I propose to use the ML as central repo for the list. I find it easier
to manage than a GDoc.

This could be an issue, but it IMHO less important than the risk of
forgetting to send an email to one of the members. Having public
archives is a biig advantage for transparency IMHO.

Thanks.
