After my post about the debate in my inbox, there were also a lot of private discussions about appropriate use of the delegate email contact lists and methods of permitting the delegates to discuss issues and candidates using modern technology. I was involved with working on a solution proposal, but before I could get feedback and approval from the leg chairs and individuals I had been in contact with, I was unexpectedly invited to join a Yahoo! Group for Republican Delegates in Utah County. We had discussed Yahoo! groups as one possible solution, but I had been a proponent of a Forum as a more organized alternative.

I was immediately curious as to who was sponsoring this email group. So I quickly posted to the group asking if it was sponsored by the party or if it was a private solution.
