I think Ric has access to both Majordomo and MajorCool, its webadmin
tool which can be used as an alternate to the emal management.

I have done reading at the GreatCircle website [and also at the I-P
admin website] but I've never handled any listserv or specifically
Majordomo.

As an outsider with zero experience managing lists as a listserv or
majordomo admin or as a remote email admin of majordomo, the first
solution that jumps into my mind, considering the difficulty of the IP
mail admin 'writeup' or volunteer instruction pages, would be to
implement the current version majordomo, because majordomo is what
Michael knows, and also to implement the MajorCool web management
administration tool for the volunteers.

That assumes that by doing so, that everything which is currently
operational would remain so, including the role of the volunteers and
the profile management process of human oversight, plus the email optin
confirmation step.

If the webmanagement system were satisfactory or even preferred by the
cadre of volunteers as well as the majordomo admins, then there would be
no need for even a partial rewrite of the email admin instructions -- 
let it all be done by webadmin MajorCool.  Otherwise, if the current
email admin was required or preferred or necessary, there would need to
be some perhaps little rewrite of the old 1999 email admin instructions.
Maybe just a few sentences.
