governs the Issues Forums we host on our shared network.
The general idea is that a common set of basic rules (like real names,
no name calling, etc.) works well if coupled with a local charter with
some flexibility (like defining local scope) and a volunteer forum
manager guiding the forum/enforcing the rules. Based on our democratic
mission - http://e-democracy.org/mission -, our rules are actually are
designed to ensure participant rights and responsibilities.
We'd like your input on rule specific changes you'd like to see.
If you'd like to have you say, please review with letter from Mick
Souder, the chair of our rules committee:

Thank you for being a member of this forum. E-Democracy.org
appreciates having you as part of our network.

P.S. Since our rules don't allow debate over forum rules/management on
the forums themselves, this is your chance to tell us in as specific a
way possible how you would like the rules framework updated. Before
the final updated rules are adopted there will be a second chance to
provide input before the Board -
