I don’t understand the impact. Those who are comfortable with using the mailing list via email would just keep doing what they are doing now. With the exact same email address. There should be no procedural changes. In theory, we could make the change tomorrow, and you shouldn’t notice a difference.
That said, we are going to do extensive test with the board, staff, NANOG committees, and beta testers. No changes will be made without extensive testing, committee and community feedback, and board approval. We will not make any changes until we are certain that there will be adverse effects for our community.
One thing that I've seen recently, and something for you to test for, is the discorse integrations into mailinglists often end up with the capability for emails to be sent to the mailinglist with no context. That is to say, the discourse user's comments come to the mailinglist without the previous comment/content/quote. So you will get emails to the mailinglists with just "Yes I agree" or "That was amazing to read" without context. -Jim P.
