[atlarge-discuss] REPORT on MOTION 2003-11 webmaster



Seeing as untill now 6 panelmembers have voted in favour of this motion.
That my vote as chair is not required (no deciding vote) that with my
non-vote as well as with Hugh's temp chairing on the motion he abstains,
quorum has been reached.
That the vote will remain open for panelmembers who have not yet voted
untill the announced deadline.

The following motion has passed and the panel is looking for volunteers
for the result:

Whereas there is currently no webmaster for the icannatlarge.org 
website, 
Whereas frequent updating and management of the site is a clear
requirement, Whereas the workload likely will need more than 1 person,

It is decided that a Web Committee will be formed of 3 persons. 
The committee members decide amongst themselves who of them will be 
official "webmaster". The webmaster and the committee will be 
governed by rules. These rules at a minimum contain the following:

1. That the webmaster be responsible for the functioning of the 
website in all respects.

2. They will guard the member's privacy. Access to the member's 
database will only be granted to authorized Panel members and 
committees after proper voting.

They will be responsible for mirroring on at least one other server 
outside the icannatlarge.org organization. This should be done with on a
4 or 8 hourly rotation. They will be responsible for creating off-site
(other server) back-ups of the database and content with a minimum
frequency of once per week.

3. The webmaster is responsible for keeping the website up-to-date.

4. Once the organization grows exponentially, the webmaster keeps a
public record of the time they spends on webmaster duties.

The Discretion of the Webmaster

5. The webmaster may update non-controversial text, design or code 
on their own initiative. They will support members and sub-groups 
with their pages, make sure they remain within the site's style, but may
not change the content of those "member-pages". The webmaster shall
provide an empty template for different committees and groups to use.

6. The webmaster may appoint a Forum Administrator to manage all aspects
of the website community Forum. Forum administrators may be removed by
the webmaster or by direct intervention of a Panel majority.

Limitation of Webmaster Discretion

7. The webmaster must refrain from implementing any change or 
update that may be controversial among the membership and must at 
all times, first seek Panel majority approval for such changes.

8. The webmaster will immediately upon being ordered to do so 
by formal majority vote of the Panel, remove or replace any text 
or design elements, as long as they are not on member pages.

9. That direct instructions to the webmaster by the Panel are under
responsibility of Panel Liaison and must be posted on the discuss 
list and in the web Forum with the names of the supporting Panel 
members attached.

10. The first Web Committee will be in place for a 6 month period.
