[Box-Admins] passing the baton

1.  Regarding having my blessing for Casey becoming the list manager for
the Squeak-dev mailing list: you have it.

2.  Regarding receiving the list administrator rights and passwords: If
the password Steve is using came from Cees I expect that means it has
been the same for a very long time now and it's probably a very good
time to change it.  So I think to simplify matters (at least simplify
them for Steve) I will take the responsibility for changing the list
settings including setting a new password and getting it to Casey.

Casey: Do you have a public pgp/gpg key?  I searched the MIT key server
for your current email address and couldn't find one.  Or is
http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xED25607DBDAF1986
you?

So as far as passing the baton from Steve to Casey, regarding the
technical details, I will take care of it.  Do you mind Steve if we do
this sooner than 3 weeks from now if Casey is ready?

3.  Regarding the SOB:  I agree that the squeak-dev mailing list
administrator is within the purview of the box-admins team.  That said,
I think it's worth at least notifying the SOB that a change has
occurred.  Again, I will take care of that.
