Hello ECOFEMers!
Here's a reminder about general protocol on ECOFEM as well as
directions regarding (un)subscribing. I'll be sending this reminder
on a monthly basis, so new members of ECOFEM know the protocol.
(It's 30 June in New Zealand, so the end of the month has arrived
in my "real" time!) I've also added info for any subscribers who
may wish to "digest" their mail or unsubscribe during absences. The
procedures outlined below should facilitate this process. If other
issues arise, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Hope these help you negotiate within ECOFEM. Thanks to everyone for
participating!
Peace,
Stefanie S. Rixecker

Participatory Protocol:
1. ACTIVE LISTENING/READING: Conscious attention to and respect
for a speaker's/writer's words =and= potential meanings is
important. If there's an interpretive problem, please
seek clarification before "flaming." Lively discussions and
exchanges are welcome and encouraged, using the following
protocol.
2. RESPECT: Show consideration for alternative viewpoints in a
manner which continues dialogue without denigrating the
dignity of other participants.
3. DIGNITY: Remember and acknowledge the personal integrity
(physical, intellectual, emotional, psychological, and
spiritual) of EACH participant.
4. REFLEXIVITY: Be willing to employ self-critique and consider
collegial constructive criticism.
Technical Protocol:
1. SIGNATURE: Remember to "sign" your e-mail address at the end
of messages. This allows participants to contact you
directly, especially when your address isn't automatically
added to the e-mail header.
2. LENGTH: Please be considerate about the length of your
postings. Messages should fit within a 3 screens. Some
participants pay to attend ECOFEM, and concise messages
enhance the value of their service.
3. ON TOPIC: While ECOFEM covers a range of topics within the
"Studies on Women and Environment" banner, this does not mean
"anything goes." Please be sure to relate postings back to
this general label.
