As we begin to merge the User Group Community, the Marketing Community, and the Immigrants Community into the new Advocacy Community Group, I think a good way to start is to merge the three main discuss lists first so we don't have to keep cc'ing three lists while we work on all this. So, we'd be merging immigrants-discuss, opensolaris-mktg, and ug-discuss into advocacy-discuss. The new Advocacy Community Group will be able to open new lists for new purposes over time, of course, but we need one general discuss list for community-wide issues. We could potentially be the largest community on the site, so a central list is needed. After the list merger, we'd probably give a short period of time and then archive the three old lists and move on from there to setting up the community space, moving documents, writing new stuff, doing the re-directs, etc. Everyone ok with merging the lists as a first step?

Assuming that the archives will be preserved, that seems a great move. We can then establish whatever additional lists the new Community Group needs as it becomes obvious they are needed.
