This is up to the discussion leaders.  To date the autoseqs group by
itself has been *very* low volume and I am not that convinced that it
would fly on its own yet.

Subscriptions are not accepted until after the group passes a vote and
has been set up.  This would be in the latter part of May if all goes
well.  Subscriptions requests would then be sent to one of the
following addresses depending upon your location.
