Thanks George.  This is excellent advice.  Our list is indeed on the
migration schedule (or so I am told by the ICORS people), and it will be
migrated Wednesday some time.  Shortly after that, the new list will go
live, but the old list will still be active until February 1 I believe.
Thanks for everyone's encouragement!
