In the short run, I think the best thing to do is send a personal email.
That's what I do anyway.  In the long run, we should make some quick
procedure for sending stuff "from IFSO".  I'll bring it up at the next
meeting.

If people do write such emails, please send a copy to the list so we can
build up good responses to issues that might come up again.

The IFSO FAQ is still on my todo list but I'm snowed under this week.

yeh, we need a few @ifso addresses.  I can get them set up, but I was
waiting for the ifso.ie domain name (soon?)
