Hello ECOFEMers!
Here's the monthly reminder about general protocol on ECOFEM as well
as directions regarding (un)subscribing. It's a bit later than usual
because I was overseas for a conference on Environmental Justice.
The conference was very good, and I had the great fortune of meeting
a number of ecofeminists & women working in the area of
women/environment, incuding: Janis Birkeland, Christine Cuomo, Karen
Fox, Freya Matthews, Nancy Mellor, Val Plumwood, Vandana Shiva, Karen
Warren & many more. Anyone who attended the conference, please feel
free to provide feedback/comments to the list. I'll be happy to
provide a summary myself, once I get a chance to settle back into
life here.
Back to our regularly sacheduled programme....
The procedures outlined below should help with digesting (bundling)
messages as well as unsubscribing from the list. If other issues
arise, please do not hesitate to contact me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
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 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.
