I certainly hope not!  That would simply lend support to your tyrranical
disposition vis a vis the web site. I think Marc has more sense than that.
Sotiris,

I have asked the Panel to ratify a short webmaster Charter. Its text has been published here and in the Forum. It can do with some further refinement, but it is better than nothing.

The Panel and the members need this to keep democratic control over the content of the website.

Whoever is webmaster also needs the protection of ratified rules so that honest efforts cannot be constantly attacked as "tyranny".

Tyranny is not the simple refusal to hand over control to every bully that comes along and demands the keys. Anyway, the keys to the website are already in Bret Fausett's responsible hands.

Interestingly, when I write to the Panel that Webmaster Rules must be laid down *before* a new webmaster is appointed, the immediate reaction is a motion from Jamie Love to appoint Sotiris Sotiropoulos as webmaster with immediate effect...(and without democratic Rules to live by).

It also appears that Sotiris Sotiropoulos wants to be in control of the *hosting* of the site instead of favouring checks and balances and distribution of the controls.

Let the Panel and the members draw their own conclusions .
