Not a huge burden but a huge change...

Just off the top of my head:

- where do you host the files?
- do you send out (push) the files to email addresses or host them (pull)
for download?
- how does this affect the cost of publishing the newsletter for those that
get a hard copy?
- does this affect the cost of membership for those that elect for
electronic format?
- is there a way to allow electronic versions still provide proof of
membership?

There are lots of implications with such changes.  And not everyone is
created equal in the electronic access arena.  

It's a frequently discussed topic at the Society level with no clear answers
at the moment.
