The Fair Deal

[Rubywand <rubywand@swbell.net>]

The FAQs discussion has been an interesting, fun, and, even, useful 
activity. In fact, a consensus appears to exist regarding some key 
issues:

 1. Access to csa2's FAQs must be unrestricted. The FAQ Keeper has no 
right to restrict FAQ access to anyone.

 2. The FAQs (i.e. the large body of questions & answers referred to as 
"the newsgroups FAQs") entrusted to Nathan's keeping and in which he 
invested considerable work to expand are, at present, Nathan's property.

 3. We should take steps to guarantee that future FAQs shutdowns do not 
occur. Thus, the csa2 FAQs should be maintained on multiple A2 sites; 
and, the csa2 FAQs must, from now on, be considered to be the property of 
csa2.


     Since there seems to be general agreement on the major sticking 
points, why not settle things? By next Sunday midnight CST, Nathan merely 
posts, on csa2, a message declaring that he supports csa2's efforts to 
expand FAQs access as specified above. In return ...

Nathan will be csa2's FAQ Keeper

Nathan's current FAQs and any future revisions produced while he remains 
FAQ Keeper will become csa2 property and placed into the public domain. 
They will be the 'official' csa2 FAQs.

Nathan will be free to descriminate against whomever he wishes regarding 
access to his own website.
