Looking for a host to contract for interim startup support a moderately large (est 16,000 Member) non-profit professional science and education society intending to install a mail-based system to eventually cover: 10-20 lists for various governance and admin functions; 20 or so technical division groups (probably multiple lists for various specialty topics); 100 local, international and student chapters; etc. We are looking for a host for a few lists for this academic year as we develop internal experience, capability and future plans (a budget/plan in the spring, evaluating internal vs external hardware and software support. These lists may grow to 40-50 later in the year as various org units may establish lists and possible additional HQ governance and "newsletter" lists, and a possible public list or two. This is the American Nuclear Society, with HQ in LaGrange Park Ill. I am a Member of an Electronic Communications Working Group. We would like to be operational as soon as possible, with an ability to present initial operations to our winter meeting in November. I would appreciate any recommendations for developing an implementation plan and acquiring necessary and appropriate support for this program. Thanks in advance! Regards, Jim Muckerheide
