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. + +About this text +--------------- + +This process was based on the "Template for Network Intentions and process letter v1.0". +License for the document: GNU Free Documentation License: +http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html |
