Media Lens Message Board [ Post a Response | Media Lens Message Board ] first draft: allplanetary mediacrit site mission statement Posted by Everyman on December 22, 2015, 12:49 pm Welcome to Allplanetary Mediacrit. Here is our Mission Statement: 1) We discuss our discussion process and constraints and language as part of our mission. Heightened group awareness of the process itself is one of our goals. 2) All fundamental questions of world media is our topic as is everything which arises from the fundamental, including day to day news reports. 3) The question of exclusion is a perennial topic and a central concern of all participants, because the possibility of exclusion means any particular participant can be excluded 4) We may begin with a method of hosting and an exclusion policy which may change according to the self governance we have all agreed upon 5) Should agreement not be 100% we will decide together on a voting system that itself will be mutable depending upon the will of the participants 6) We consciously see ourselves as the seed of a new society experimenting with leaderless ways to participate in non exclusionary discussion groups. 7) We welcome all newcomers with open arms because we realize the spread of our group means also the spread of our system of discussion, whose goal is to experiment with and discover new ways to communally investigate fundamental questions of media without the development of practical exclusionary powers. 8) self governance means also the discussion of the means of self governance, all is open to question. wherever we begin, no matter what system we begin with, it is open to change according to the will of the participants Responses I like the "seed of a new society experimenting with leaderless ways" . Much appreciated. nm - Der Today, 1:03 pm 'heightened group awareness of process', etc, many points to like here [nm] - margo Today, 2:41 pm Posted to the forum for discussion - link - mack Today, 4:14 pm Got to say, sounds (a) messianic, (b) too focused on internal processes (a sin I'm also prone to!). - Twirlip Today, 7:00 pm [His basic point was sound - I often commented to that effect - but I think he overstated it here.] |
