One I hadn't really anticipated. The affiliation of SCREEN-L with academic organizations is a concept in its formative stages. Suggestions such as these are very helpful. The last thing I want to see is SCREEN-L turning into some kind of bureaucratic quagmire of rules and regs. I think it's possible to maintain its free flow of discussion and further optimize its use in the dissemination of film/TV studies information. But maybe SCS/UFVA cosponsorship isn't the way. WE'll just have to see.
