themembers?
Well, Access India has been the most important platform for visually
challenged in India to come together and enhance our understanding
about enabling technology and questions of accessibility. As such, I
don't think putting in too many restrictions would be a good idea. The
moderator is already having lots of responsibilities, saddling him
with further responsibilities of verification and so on may have
serious practical limitations. I don't think it would be prudent to
convert this platform into an invite only list, there are many people
from different parts of the country joining the platform, they may not
always find people to invite and refer.
If there are members who violate list guidelines, they can always be
removed. Anyone who abuses the list for nefarious purposes such as
duping people, again, the moderator can always take action.
So in my view, things should be considered on a case by case basis,
rather than bringing in too many restrictions that could deny access
to such an important platform for people who would need it.

Dear Prashant/ Harish,
This is a tricky issue. My considered view is that it would be too
premature to put conditions of references/ invitations to join the list.
There are several people on the list who just want to be updated on the
new
development in the VI Sector, family members, friends, relatives,
journalists, students, govt. officials, and the list is too wide.
Email verifications and brief information about the person joining the
list
would serve the purpose of the list. The moderator may consider having
more
personal information, if required, about each member admitted to the
list.
Idea is not to restrict the members on the list but to promote and
enourage healthy and constructive discussions and information sharing on
the subjects that affect the VI and allowed under the list guidelines.
This
being a public forum, the archive of the mails/discussions is available
thorugh search engines.
Therefore, conduct of the person on the list over a period of time should
be the deciding criteria and Moderator should be the best judge on this.
Any content that is abusive or comes with in the restricted parameters
can
also be removed from the archive and thread closed for traffic and the
person /email id can be banned from the list after due diligence.

There is a limit to the maximum number of members a discussion list like
AI
can serve. So, should new members be approved only on referrals or
invitation?
And is it also time to set up a mechanism to verify the identity of
members?
It is reported that there are few people with multiple and fake IDs
here.
I think members and the moderator should reflect on these questions.
