The BAJR Federation - moving the forum

if there was a donation to a fund, which is then used to pay for the service... then it would help... I will investigate - I don't want any suggestion that this is a profit making group.

I don't think anybody is suggesting that the 'Fed' will be a commercial profit generating concern, but a subscription to cover costs with anything left over being ploughed back into the 'Fed' shouldn't cause any problems?

What about the possibility of charity status for the 'Fed'?

'the idea of something for nothing stinks of anarchist principles and MUST NOT BE ALLOWED'

Actually the fact that the Federation has been suggested and constructed based not on a core of set ideals of the few elites but from an open discussion by its potential membership which is still ongoing stinks of anarchist principles far more than the idea of getting something for nothing.

hi there,

In relation to invitation/ application only membership to groups i think it would be adventageous to have a 'floating' lottery monitors for the basis of membership decisions.

just so the notion of a too self indulegent interest group expells for any untoward reasoning.

not to say it does but it could if there is serious utilization of this as an industry resource.


something worth thinking about may be something along the lines of how trusts have staff and members but staff are not allowed to be members due to a conflict of interest develops.


A jargon busting thesurus of potential ideas and organisations would be helpful, without necessarily interupting dicussion flow.


i think in relation to the what kind of member are you i think it would be good to have a filling in fields info sheet on each member in their own definitions. maybe even with a query system if possible but thats getting a bit heavy.


If we want accrediation i think this will fall short of the whole principle of working alongside other organisations. dififferent aspects and relative freedoms.

if you want accreditation then there is an automatic filter placed on anything said due to liability and validity assurance.


if we wish to pursue a free flow of relevant discussion whilst also maintaining transparency, i think a christmas amnesty of access to the membership forum groups so the dialogues open up annually and are visally archive visible to last month. kind of like seeing where the discussion is going AND THEN YOU GET THE AGM.

that way the specialist groups don't become too exclusive or unassailable, whilst maintaining a validity to such an idea.


In terms of transparency hows about a time sheet idex list for the moderators and active managers.

visble on the home pages of each group or the general site one. I guess that depends on the level of work people work on each of the groups.

i saw this one site called mind gym where your activity status determines how active you are at any given point, but for group and general monitoring this would have to have another form of id for the type of activity (posting, modrating, and data management)


about funding, hows about charity statusand a group for fund raising like sponsored runs and such within external interested groups, organisations and networks.

we are all too oftn ready to run our mouths off.......


are the group links also going to be closed to the relevant groups/ indiviuduals or open on a specialsit dialogue?


hope this is helping

i would very much be in favour of ensuring that although the work we do is based upon the freely given time and experienc of people, that the ethos remains as a non exploitative resource, where some individuals will not loose too much of their free time, whilst others are protective of their own in relation to how the industry will develop whilst unaware of the active partisipants imputus to this new move.

we need recognition from the silent of ongoing indexed time, labour and efforts.
although principally within the groups.

a notion of disregard = loss of active partispation.

if this is going to be a serious facility within the broader heritage community then we need to be active or just aware partisipants.

but again amesties for re-engagement and reintegration on a regular (quaterly) basis.
