It's fine with me, but this request itself raises ethics issues. What
constitutes informed consent? There are many people who read this list
and rarely if ever post. But they probably read the exchange. Do you
need everybody's permission, or just those who replied and joined the
conversation. I can see arguments on both sides, although I would guess
a committee would be satisfied with permission only from the participants.
