I run several mail lists. An important issue to consider is the
the time it will require to keep the list running. The list should
not take a step backwards because of this--the new list should offer
all of the functionality of eGroups. Otherwise, the membership will
see this move as having personal motivations rather than the good
of the group at heart.

Surely the natural progression of any large organization is to bring
mail list management in-house for better control and flexibility.
Are we now of that size? Is there enough volunteer time to handle this
without decreasing activity in other areas? These are the questions
that should be addressed when attempting to achieve a mutually agreeable
decision that will serve the entire membership.
