In the same sense that citizens can't fix the way an elected government is constituted? This simply isn't true - Members have several options: 1. Appeal to the OGB if they believe there is a conflict with another Group, or if they believe their Group is not following the rules. 2. Propose a Constitutional amendment, which must be approved by a majority of Members. 3. Run for a seat on the OGB. Each of these offers somewhat different scope for change, but the only real limits in place are those imposed by the Charter, which is (by intent) fairly weak. If a Community Group of which you are a Core Contributor feels that something outside its authority is broken and interfering with its ability to accomplish useful work, why have we not seen an appeal or a proposed amendment yet? > http://blogs.sun.com/avalon/entry/manufacturing_a_community I'm going to read this a few more times before responding. You seem very angry, and some of what you've written appears at first blush to consist of non sequitors. But I'll keep trying. In the meantime, is there some concrete problem you're facing that we should be looking into, or at least know about to have some context? -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
