Hi Trisha Thanks - for a board 'general business list' I reckon the ideal is 'anyone can subscribe, but only specific people can post without moderation - and all archives are open'. Mailman has plenty of power to vary a subscribers posting power as needed. We can get all these switches flicked on oceania-board easily, there's only a small task to audit the archives for anything which meets in-camera requirements.
A few OSGeo lists operate this way, including giving and taking power for unmoderated posting to individuals as required for specific discussions. I think clear identification of the circumstances for in-camera discussion is great, thanks! We still need to add this list as means of communication - I've added suggestions to the linked doc.
