at the weds ‘changing the world with the power of love’ meet, 10 ppl decided to have a foum for discussion, as opposed the email list. the email list will be reserved for meeting/workshop/actions announcements. it wasnt discussed whether the forum be open or closed. at a meeting last night, i agreed to make a non-descript interim forum open to all for use until the next meeting. i had already setup withlove.55t.co.uk/forum but it was felt that it was excluding ppl with different ideas. |

how do you propose important decisions are made? especially as you can get a completely different group of ppl at each meeting? is a forum really such an important decision? there’s thousands of forums and email lists. are they all competing or complimentary. of course ppl who never attend a meeting or cant attend a particular meeting can have input online. however should any real decisions be made offline? as far as i remember crabgrass was mentioned as a possible forum, which you now have, and are able to invite ppl because you have almost exclusive access to the email list. i will have to check the minutes. |

as it is, i can see the power of this network for cross-fertilising. eg.the facilities to ‘share discussion’/‘notify’ other groups. |
|
where/when was it agreed to have a private/closed ‘non-violence’ forum? |
|
this forum has 12 members including the founder. 2 have posted including the founder and me. at present it seems only a few ppl want to have input into this group. |
|
I’m not going to post on any public pages. Love, Dan |
|
fair enough. however, if others said they wont post on private pages, where would we be then? i can empathise with discussing certain actions in private. however i cant see why this debate would need privacy. |
