Re: World Aroid Club?

From: Jonathan Ertelt jonathan.ertelt at vanderbilt.edu> on 2001.07.17 at 15:26:42(7057) I also agree with Neil here - if the IAS is not doing something that you'd like to see done (you referring to any member) then bring it up and see if the consensus is to add it to the many things that IAS already does. Essentially IAS _IS_ the "World Aroid Club," only with a little bit different name. I think that the idea of exchanging plants, for example, is a great one. But I have found that this give and take is already present, to a large extent thanks to this list. If we want to make it a bit more formal and have a place for posting plant species/cvs. that you're interested in, that could certainly be done as far as I'm concerned, perhaps within the context of the newsletter. It doesn't take forming another group to do this. Let's stick with the strong society we already have, and simply make it stronger.
