It does have it's own list:

board at lists.squeakfoundation.org

However, this is a private message board for internal discussion by the
board members, although anyone is certainly welcome to send requests and
comments to that address.

The agenda items though deserve public discussion.  Certainly discussion
can appear on this mailing list (squeak-dev) but it is often difficult
for the board then to go through such a discussion and identify the a
clear agenda.  In my opinion, appending a comment to the Squeak People
article

http://people.squeakfoundation.org/article/64.html

provides a compromise.  Discussion is possible there, but tends to be
much more on topic and organized than the spontaneous near-chaos of the
mailing list.
