Implementing this would require a lot of manual work on the part of list 
administrators, who are already overworked.  I also think that the 
reflectors should be open to use by persons who are not members of T11 or 
other standards bodies.

I would suggest the following changes to the configuration of standards 
reflectors:
 
1. Messages may only be posted by persons that have subscribed to the 
reflector.

2. Use the available feature in Majordomo that sends a message to the 
subscribers email address.  This message must be returned before a 
subscription is activated.

3. Turn off the Majordomo feature that allows a user to examine the 
subscriber list.
