Yeah, we could link items as needed. But, I think it could be fun.
It shouldn't be too much trouble.

I would like to see a conference added named 'grexohio' because I am starting
an Association of Ohio Grex Users. :)

You can find the fw in a conference by joining that conference and
typing "disp fw".

After talking with selena, I'd like to step down as fair-witness
of the Sexuality conference and let her take over. I'd like
to see more f-w's this time around, so if anyone else wants to
share the duties with her, please mail me.

I'm not sure I want to co-FW it, rob.. I'd really rather not, actually!

Let me rephrase that: I'd LOVE to FW sexuality, but not with a co-FW.
I'll be here often enough that you won't need anyone else, and it would
make me feel much more comfortable.

Rob asked me about this earlier, but I think selena would be fine on
her own. I wish that Rob felt that he could continue, but having
selena at the helm is probably better all around.

I'm puzzled. A few months ago, a 'cyberflirting' conference
was formed, the intent being that it could be used for
flirting so that the sexuality conference could return to
its original focus on serious discussion of sex roles.
Carson proposed this.
Part of the proposal was that eventually the 'sexuality'
name would be attached to the cyberflirting conference and
the current sexuality conference would go by a less
ambiguous name--I forget if a definite name was decided--
that would make it clearer that the conference was primarily
for serious discussions. As far as I know this name changed
hasn't happened yet, but as I understand it, it was agreed
to.
So when people talk about a new fw for 'sexuality', are
they talking about the 'serious discussions' conference or
the 'sexual banter' conference? And do the volunteers for
fairwitnessing understand and support the intended focus of
the conference they're volunteering for?

Well, Rob is FW of the serious-discussion one, so that must be the one in
question.

One afterthought to the above: Grex doesn't have a
cast-in-stone policy on how new fw's to existing conferences
are chosen; the past practice has been to ask for volunteers
in the conference and in coop (although not in the 'new
conference proposals' item, which this is) and install
whoever emerges. My unofficial thinking is that in
general fairwitness replacement should be an internal
conference matter rather than a coop issue, if the
conference has an active group of participants and isn't
simply dead. That would keep conference governance at the
level of the affected users, which is where I think it
belongs.
So could I suggest that the fairwitness issue be discussed
in whatever the affected conference is, if it isn't being
talked about there already? There might be participants in the
conference who would be interested in fw'ing it but who don't
read coop.

Hm. I think this might be a special case, because the sexuality
conference lost a bunch of users when it turned into a cyberflirting
conf, and many of the people interested in serious discussions haven't
yet returned. Maybe in this case it would make sense to discuss the
fw change in both the conference and in co-op?
(Re 316: It was the name "sex" that was eventually going to move over
to the afterdark conference. The full name "sexuality", if I remember
right, was going to stay attached to the original sexuality conference.)

Why not broaden the scope, rename and restart "sexuality" as the
"Adult-Oriented Issues Conference" I think the problem with the current
conf is that its title limits the subject matter to sex, when the
idea should be to have a conf where social and cultural adult mores can
be discussed.
I suggest linking every old sexuality item to cflirting, and deleting the
entire conf and starting this as a new one. As it is presently
constituted, a new FW by itself is not going to make "Sexuality" viable
again. Point the "sex" arrow to the flirting conf and call the new
conf "adult" and perhaps put a disclaimer on the title page pointing out
that this new conf is for mature audiences and serious discussions only.

That makes good sense. (Except for the name. "Adult" conjures up images
of "adult bookstores" in my mind.) Hm.

Which is hardly any worse than a "sex" conference or a "flirting"
conference.
That does sound like a good idea, kerouac.
I'll go post something elucidary in the Sex(uality) conference
right away.
