Stephen,

Barry has introduced a small amount of hierarchy into the grouping of lists. 
(E.g. The domain)
Within that hierarchy, he at least alludes to the delegation of authority to 
list owners.

It is not necessary to have more than a flat collection of lists. In fact, that 
approach has the advantage that each list can be allowed to have individual 
configuration parameters. At the present, he has attached the "base web URL" to 
the email_domain. Instead, I would like to have the ability to set that on a 
per-list basis. There is no structural constraint that requires lists to share  
such common values, but I do acknowledge that it is expedient for the system to 
be able to generate the list specific value by some algorithm that is applied 
to a class of lists.

Rather than defining a specific structure, I would substitute a more generic 
structure defining collections of lists. This tree could be configured to 
represent any organizational hierarchy that the installation desires. Various 
persons could then be granted administrative rights over particular subtrees. 
Algorithmic constraints can be assigned to a collection insuring that each list 
therein complies with the enterprise schema.
