Assuming it is feasible, what would be a sensible address? My first thought is [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] An alternative would be to go with the plan that messages are sent to the team list (which already exists), and that we (I) post a formalised message to LaTeX-L before adding to the master list, in a similar way to how CTAN 'new package' announcements are made. Something like *Subject* Module prefix registration: X The LaTeX3 module prefix X was registered on <date> with the following details. Module name: ... ... The downside here is that the team (or at least some of us) get the messages twice. I think that's probably survivable :-) -- Joseph Wright
