|
| ...a three tier, low-tech approach
|
| 1 - Personal recommendations
| 2 - Individual participation
| 3 - Other real-space/Internet presence
|
| Background:
| - All "new" members are "Provisional," until...
| - If "they" really want to spoof, they may find a way, regardless
| - Let it be their responsibility to prove to us who they are
| - Low-Tech can have high results
| - KISS - Keep It Simple Seriously
|
| Tier One:
| They need to be vouched-for by two or three existing members.
|
| Tier Two
| As a "new" member, one has provisional-membership. As a
| provisional-member it is one's responsibility to participate and earn
| full-status if one wants to be a Chair, a Panel member, an Officer - in
| other words, hold any position of responsibility. If not, one can stay a
| provisional member, with all associated rights. Have a problem with
| provisional/full - then call it member/authenticated member, whatever.
|
| Tier Three:
| If you are real and active, you leave "tracks," in both
| virtual and real
| space. Some of these "tracks" are more-better than others - you should
| know what we mean and what they are, we should not have to tell you. So,
| you "show us your tracks," the best ones - and we will let you know.
|
| In Example:
|
| A Provisional Member's petition for Full Membership status:
|
| "J. Doe, M. Smith and T. Brown have vouched for me. I have been active on
| the X committee and in the Y listserve for six months now. I
| would like to
| be considered for the Chair of the X committee. My personal website is at
| URL. I am an officer of the Z group, URL, and committee-chair for the A
| organization, URL, and am mentioned on both their websites. My phone
| number, (123) 456-7890, will resolve to my home/business address when
| submitted to AT&T's reverse-lookup."
|
| Or, "...a Google search, keywords WORDS, will show I have been published
| in..."
|
| Or, "...in addition to J. Doe, M. Smith and T. Brown, F. Jones, who has
| been active here for B years, lives in the same town as I and knows me
| personally."
|
| Then again, if the best they can do is show us a mail-drop...
|
| This would work...
