Why not this solution - one list - opened to all - no censorship of any
kind, and then when someone subscribes, a document from the Names Council
can be emailed back to them advising that the list has very heavy traffic
- but here is a list of people you should be filtering - and attach a
list.

So the names council can blackball people they don't like and people
who are new subscribers can then get to decide if they will accept the
filter provided - or not.

I still think the best solution is roberts rules of order - but failing
that for now, the names council can give people options and an education
in filters.
