[Air-l] AoIR in Latin-America - a new mailing list (subset of AoIR's main list)

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

It hasn't happened that way yet...   the large network effects occur  
on the main list still.  smaller, tighter networks have always  
existed off the main air-l list.  i don't see this as a change of any  
sort in that regard, but i do see it as a great opportunity for those  
people who want to develop the LA-AIR lists.   keep in mind, we  
already have several other lists, mostly topical, but some to do work.
