Subject: | Re: [WDDM] Re: WDDM Membership Requirement |
Here we could at first at least try to finalize some basic things that are
long overdue, that determine how WDDM is viewed from the outside world, one
issue at a time (for example, one simple question each week or two - would
that be a reasonable time scale?).
We can start with the character of the WDDM (I do not mean now whether it
should be an organization or association or whatever; let's accept for now
that it is just a group of supposedly DD advocates without any fixed
structure). The question is: should we be a model of society at large (a
future DD society), and accept as members anybody who has some interest in
how the society is organized and governs itself, or should we be a group of
people who share a rather well defined set of ideas about what democracy is,
and concentrate on promoting this vision.
So for the next while I'll be excepting here only contributions concerning
this questions probably until we reach a reasonable consensus.
Mirek,
Thanks for the reminder on the issue of minimum membership
requirements. I agree that we should enforce the presently posted
requirement that new members must affirm postive interest in DD (or at
least democracy improvement). Mark Antell
