Colleagues & Judy:
This will remain an unresolved, reoccuring problem, until it is
addressed. Here are some ideas:
1. Creation of a law-lib Advisory Group. This group's purpose is to
provide the list owner with comments and suggestions as necessary
regarding all list activities. Deletion of membership is determined by
the Advisory Group, the chair being the list owner. Any member of the
5-person Advisory Group can ask for a meeting to discuss an issue.
Issues will be handled quickly in order to resolve the issue, and
prevent lingering posts from many on the list.
2. A law-lib Posting Guidelines document will be sent to each member
after a member signs up. A yearly announcement from the list owner of
these guidelines will be posted once a year to the list for all
members. Members who do not follow the guidelines shall be candidates
for removal if the member violates a one-warning-message sent to the
violator from the Advisory Group. In a situation where two or more
parties are involved with a violation, the Advisory Group makes the
decisions as to the best course of action.
3. Each approved member to the law-lib list must be, at some point,
verified as a person having an "actual" real name who can be
identified and contacted. Posters having no positive identity will not
be permitted to post. The list owner has the privilege to contact a
suspected alias, and if no contact can be made to verify the person,
they shall be deleted from the list.
"Friday-lite" topics, occasional humor, and some professional
musings, would not fall into this arena.
