who have finally discovered this blog!
One comment I have read recently concerns the belief that
”Lists, groups and blogs of possible interest to Mensans should have a
central clearing house within Mensa, whether they be official or not.
” I happen to agree. My interpretation of the AMC goal to “make it easier for members to participate in social and intellectual interactions with each other… and capitalize on technologies that build communities” supports creating exactly such a clearing house.
And so, figuring out how to gather and list without needing to bless or supervise all those various Mensa-centric online communities has been a subject of discussion for the Communications Committee for a few months. Recently, we started writing the guidelines for how such unofficial lists, sites, blogs will be selected for inclusion and what sorts of “AML isn’t responsible for the content you may find” disclaimers we need.
Implementation will be soon. Certainly before the end of the year.
And yes, I would imagine Grapevine will be included.

I would certainly hope that Grapevine - and M-Pol as well - are included. Why wouldn't they be?
Thanks for starting this.

Why wouldn't they be included? Hally to answer. Because there are sure to be one or two loud dipshits yelling that listing a Yahoo group in an official Mensa list is a move in some sort of "AMC takeover attempt."
