[Peace-discuss] Using peace-action for AWARE etc. action-related discussions?

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Stuart,
I don't what to say re "Peace-Action." It seems that "Peace" does list events and actions in a satisfactory way. And posts sent by many on this list keep me gratefully checking "Peace-discuss."
 
As I said, it's not only nasty, etc posts on "Peace-discuss" that bother me -- I have a delete/pre-delete key for those. But there's also the dissention at meetings that's driven good long-time AWARE members away... And there's also the behavior (not acceptable to many of us) that has hurt/continues to hurt AWARE's image in the larger community. The latter two are the most serious -- no delete keys for those, and no effect on those from creating "Peace-Action."

Hey all,

Though I think that peace-action at anti-war.net used to have
a different purpose, it's been dormant for quite a while.

With the heavy traffic and low signal-to-noise ratio on
peace-discuss, it's tempting to set up a more focused mailing list --
I'm proposing that it be focused on discussing actions that 
AWARE and related people might take, and information that might lead to action.

So it'll be busier than the peace list's 400+ members expect,
but with luck will be less busy and probably less divisive
than peace-discuss.  And I hope that setting up a forum
aimed at discussing action may lead us to think more about
what we as activists might undertake.

So I'm opening up the floor.  peace-discuss people, how does this
sound for a charter?


Looking at the existing peace-action list membership, I see quite
a few familiar names on it.  

Is there anyone currently on peace-action who would rather not be,
under some charter like this?  (If so, you can either use the web page 
to unsubscribe yourself, or write back to me...)
