However, I agree that having a phpBB for discussions is a good idea. We are already using a mailing list for most discussion, but it is proving to be clumsy for compiling evidence and drafting rulings. In addition, we are having problems on the mailing list, first in that there is no central archive of the list, and second it is misconfigured so that reply-to is set to the message sender so a lot of messages accidentally get sent to a single member instead of the list. Please do go ahead and set up a BB that is read/write limited to arbitrators. Finally, are the polls on phpBB non-secret? That is, does it specify who voted for what? If it doesn't I don't think it will be much use to the arbitrators, as we need to know who is voting and how. As our group is small, we haven't yet identified a need for secret ballots. - David
