>Several incidents over time have brought up the discussion at times
>of a "Bill of Rights", most recently by some on the Bylaws
>Committee. Both the Bylaws and Guidelines Committee are addressing
>clarifying and updating some of the requirements, structure and
>procedure that is perhaps part of how we deal with each other
>within the project but may not touch on all areas particularly
>those touching on matters of respect and its opposite, abuse.
>Although what has been most vocalized publicly is *abuse* or
>*unfair treatment* of CC's, it is a two way street and SC's as well
>have been abused as have other volunteers.
>
>I am therefore calling for volunteers and creating a Rights &
>Responsibilities Committee to discuss and investigate these issues,
>and, if they determine it appropriate, drafting a Volunteer Bill of
>Rights and Responsibilities. It does need to be perfectly clear
>that those who volunteer must be open to all sides of the problems,
>CC, SC, et cetera and be willing to discuss and consider the issues
>with an open mind. This is neither a *bashing* committee nor a
>*whitewash* committee.
>
>There are no qualifications regarding project position (except one
>must have some position in the project) but volunteers must make
>some statement as to why they feel they should be on the committee
>and why they feel they can be open minded about it. Those
>interested in the being on the committee should write me with the
>responses mentioned at usgenweb(a)cox.net
