I think participation in the list should be limited to .edu addresses and that access to the archives be limited to those with Educause login credentials.
And you enforce that access on the *other* sites archiving the list, how, exactly? Your answer should be both (a) technically feasible and (b) if not fully automatic and 100% accurate, should explain who is going to pay for the manpower to actually do it. Similar issues for "only allow .edu subscribers" - that doesn't cover non-US Educause members. And although Listserv *does* support making a list "Subscribe = by-owner" to force owner vetting of subscriptions, it also means an added workload for the list owner and additional headache (guess who once got dragged into a major small-arms skirmish that got sparked by a "by-owner" list where the owner went on maternity leave? ;) Quick check - what percent of subscribers even have educause login credentials? How many would end up having to get said credentials *only* for accessing the archives? And is it a good idea to encourage people to get credentials that can access multiple things in order to access one thing (how many *other* sites accept educause login credentials for various purposes)?
