Well, this really *is* what you're asking for :-)

Technical solution: You could simply say "Send=Public" and
"Subscription=By_Owner" (and of course, make notebooks private). That
would result in anyone being able to post. Or if you wanted to limit
the second group as well, you could make a second list, say PRO-FOLKS,
and say "Send=Private,(PRO-FOLKS)". That way they could join PRO-FOLKS
and thus be allowed to post, without being members of your discussion
list.
But ... all of this sounds sort of impractical on a deeper level. How
are these people supposed to make a reasonable contribution to the list
if they don't know what the context is that they're dropping their
contributions into? It would make more sense for them to mail a
contribution to you (say, after you'd sent them a focused question), and
allow you to re-post it to the list with some context added.
