Whether a dis-incorporatoin of LUV will affect the viability of the list in the future is an unresolved question at the moment. The discussion is about "dis-incorporation" at the moment, not a merger. I think there would be distinctions to be made between the two. A merger would probably imply that there was some "formal" and considered discussions between the parties involved. But that has not taken place.
Firstly, the viability of the list(s) is not in question. SLUG, as a subcommittee of LA, still its mailing lists as a subcommittee. http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/ Secondly, this discussion has been on the formal agenda of the LUV committee since March this year, and has been discussed at most committee meetings on what it would mean for the organisation in terms of finances etc. Whether or not is this is "disincorporation" or a "merger" is moot; because in reality it's both. The motion would be that LUV disincorporates, and under the LA rules our members would automatically merge into their existing membership.
