This is an excellent suggestion, especially since we do
come from varied institutions in widely-spread places.
I was the first to be negligent. I'm Bill Thurston, Director of the
Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California = MSRI,
pronounced "Emissary", and the physical locus of the domain msri.org. I'm
also a professor at UC Davis, about 70 miles away, which is where I've entered
my subscription to the list, since that is where I'll be involved in
undergraduate/graduate education. David Epstein arranged to establish
this list during a conference last month (Dec 5-6) at MSRI on the
Future of Mathematics Education at Research Universities.
Web references with considerable information are

and
