Anyone may post to AISDiscuss, and anyone may read the AISDiscuss 
messages in the archives at
http://www.aisboard.org/lists/aisdiscuss

Additionally this list is distributed to a broader group of people than 
are typically at either of the AIS Board meetings. Except for people 
who have opted off the list, the distribution includes Board members, 
Committee Chairs, RVPs, Section presidents, and others that the board 
has requested be on the list (I don't recall those)

Yes, it sort of begs the question of how people not on the list would 
find out about a particular discussion, but anyone interested in AIS 
business could check the archives occasionally and post to the list if 
they wish.

A notification about an issue could be sent by anyone on the list to 
any other group of people that might be interested (e.g., 
iris@hort,net, iris-photos@yahoogroups.com, 
spaceagerobin@yahoogroups.com, iris-species@yahoogroups.com, 
sibrob@yahoogroups.com, garden forum etc)
