The discussion around the IBSA proposal is a crucial one, and the
contributions being made are all excellent and useful, but I would
like to remind everyone (without pointing fingers) about the
following paragraphs of our charter:<br>
<br>
<p>The messages must observe a minimum of decorum, including:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>refrain from personal attacks, insults or slander</li>
<li>refrain from offensive or discriminating language</li>
<li>refrain from threats , including threats of legal action, on
list or off list</li>
<li>refrain from excessive and repetitive posting</li>
</ul>
<p>Inappropriate postings to the IGC list include<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Unsolicited bulk e-mail</li>
<li>Discussion of subjects unrelated to the IGC mission and
objectives</li>
<li>Unprofessional or discourteous commentary, regardless of the
general subject</li>
<li>Sequences of messages by one or more participants that cause
an IGC list to become a hostile environment</li>
</ul>
Thank you! :-)<br>
