Thanks for this Louie. 
I think you managed to capture the discussion in the meeting we had. This is very helpful indeed. 

And I agree with all your suggestions in this mail. 

Thanks again!

With the goal of setting up a mechanism to collect community comments, these are the goals I'm capturing in our meeting:
  1. A mailbox for collecting community comments
  2. The messages would be publicly displayed so that:
    1. the commenters can confirm that each comment has been received, and
    2. it is easy to collate and publish the comments later in the report
  3. The comments are not meant to be a community discussion list.

While these goals can be accomplished via a mailing list, I think that it would be useful to display the comments in a way that is not in the typical mailing list archive format. I would think that we wouldn't want to set the expectation that there is a mailing list that can be subscribed to for a full email discussion.

And it *might* be useful for the RC members also receive each comment in our mailbox to ease searches with the members individually subscribed to this comment list.

If someone has a better suggestion for receiving, displaying, and collating comments, please speak up. I'm simply recognizing that a mailing list engine is a familiar backend tool to help us with this.
