Re: [nafex] Go with University

[Horticulture Ventures <hortventures@cox.net>]

I vote to associate the list with a university, especially since someone 
has offered to establish the list.

The list's maintenance can be controlled by a committee to insure its 
continuance if someone is ill, dies, or is otherwise unable to perform 
the tasks required.
