> MOQ_focus
> Charter, Rules and Programs
>
> MOQ_focus adds an extra dimension to our open discussion group -
MOQ_discuss.
> It is run as a series of monthly workshops during which a single question
(or
> PROGRAM as we like to call them) is discussed.
>
> Charter
> The MOQ_focus group discusses only one question per month because:
> 1. Focusing on one subject at a time allows us to dig more deeply into
it.
> 2. The planning and coordination of debates ensures we all study and
discuss the
> same subject at the same time.
> 3. Our members can participate meaningfully even if they only have an
hour or two a
> week to follow the list.
> 4. The clearly defined topic makes it easier for others to join in and
follow the debate.
>
> Rules
> 1. Members must have read both Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
and
> LILA.
> 2. Members may post only one message every 24 hours (except for PROGRAM
topic
> suggestions and voting in last week of month).
> 3. Members must answer the program question in every post and must not
pursue
> topics that may distract from the program.
> 4. Members must express themselves clearly, concisely and courteously.
They
> should not use html email nor send attachments.
>
> The MOQ_focus Steering Committee reserves the right to block any posts
which
> break these rules.
>
> Programs
> Our voting procedure is as follows, where day 0 is the first day of each
new month:
>
> day -6 (00:00hrs GMT): Call for topics.
> day -3 (00:00hrs GMT): Call for votes.
> day 0 (00:00hrs GMT): New program begins.
>
> Notes
> * Members can vote for one topic only.
> * Suggestion of topic and vote for topic are separate.
> * If members suggest topics or vote before the set days these will be
held back until
> the set days and then posted to the list.
> * In the event of a tie the moderator will decide.
> * The moderator may reword the topic question to make it more conducive
to
> constructive dialog on the MOQ.
> * A different person assumes the role of moderator each month. Anyone who
has
> been an active member of MOQ_focus for three months can apply to be a
moderator.

> Now before we do the call for topics make sure you understand everything
above,
> because if you aren't willing to stick to them you shouldn't be a member
of this list.
> I don't think I can make it clearer than that.
>
> The behaviour of certain members has been nothing short of disgusting this
month.
> I refer in particular to David Buchanan's threats to blackmail me unless I
forward
> his abusive messages to the list.
>
> Nobody forces you to come here folks, if you don't like it you can leave.
But as

them.

> Call for topics will be from now until midnight 27 June. Hold your votes
until I post
