+[[!meta title="Principles and process for a network of collectives"]]
+
+Originally [Network intentions and process letter](https://rectech.sarava.org/publico/processo).
+
+About
+-----
+
+The `$network` network is a forum of anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-sexists,
+anti-homophobic and anti-racists tech collectives that rejects any form of
+social domination and prejudice.
+
+The goal of the forum is to allow interchange, mutual aid and cooperation among
+collective members and also to be a public interface for debates.
+
+Then, `$network` is not a collective but a network.
+
+How it works
+------------
+
+The network by default is in a dormant state until be activated, when for example
+some collective(s) suggest an activity, meeting or cooperation.
+
+Membership process
+------------------
+
+Membership in the `$network` network is restrictet to collectives that comply with
+afinity, trust and commitment to the network. New collectives can join the network
+after positive decision making process and if they agree with this letter.
+
+Once inside the network, collectives can determine which of its members has to
+be subscribed or unsubscribed from the `$network` network communication platforms.
+
+When joining on the `$network` network communication platforms, each individual has
+to present her or himself and state that will act in a constructive way,
+otherwise will be subjected to unsubscription.
+
+Decision making process
+-----------------------
+
+No person or group can take decisions that affect the network autonomy before
+consulting the network and getting a positive consensus.
+
+Decisions in the network are based on proposals that have to be sent to the
+network's closed discussion list.
+
+The minimum deadline for decisions is two weeks up to postponing and the
+decisions are taken by consensus. If a collective doesn't manifests about a
+proposal it will be considered that the collective agrees with the proposal.
+
+Privacy
+-------
+
+The `$network` network is semi-public, i.e, part of it's communication and
+organization is restricted to the member collectives while other part is public
+and open to any group or person.
+
+Informations that flows in private communication instances needs authorization
+to be shared in public media (declassification).
+
+It's a choice of each member to stay or not as a private member.
+
+Communication interfaces
+------------------------
+
+The `$network` network has the following communication instances:
+
+  - Closed list with archives restricted to its members.
+  - Moderated announcement list with open subscription and open archives.
+  - Collaborative web platform.
+
+Such interfaces are hosted by member or trusted collectives and it's access and
+existence are crucial to the maintenance of the network memory.  Then, it's
+imprescindibile to the network to have backups of these platform when needed.
