You just described the current system, except they use the Acorn always
and a postcard sometimes. The Acorn is a more reliable way of getting
the message across because many people in a group receive it.

Because they've already ignored email and snail mail. As you can see
the Kingdom Herald already recounted how she sends a postcard in
addition to the Acorn summary, and yet you still see groups with
herald reports 6+ months late.

[ Now I do think that it's stilly that we spent 1/8 of a page in TI
for the Society MoAS to send a message to a couple of Kingdom MoASes... 
What's that, 20,000+ copies to replace a couple of letters? ]
