[MLB-WIRELESS] Clearing up a few issues. (aka what melbwirele ss is all about)

[Anderson, Steven]

I don't believe we are the first to try to set up something like this.
What have others done in other locations in Australia or in other countries?
What examples are there of this sort of thing from places like the US?
I am sure there are wireless networks like the one we are trying to create
there.
What sort of thing have they set up?
After all, being a far more litigious society than our own (for now) I would
have thought they would be a good place to look for such paranoia.

NOOOOOOoooooo! Can of worms if you ask me.

If someone's distributing warez, dob them into the BSAA and claim your 2000
pieces of silver. If someone hacks you, call the police. Objectional
content? Phone the ACA and get a take-down notice. There are already ways
and means in place externally to melbwireless without having to try and
police it internally.

Setting rules raises some interesting issues:
(a) What form of due process will determine who is disconnected and/or
barred? Will there be an inquiry before a disconnection notice is issued?
Who has the authority to determine this? Can it be overruled or retracted?
Does responsibility rest with one person or a collective?
(b) Appeals process for those who feel they've been wrongly disconnected?
(c) What information are we legally required to provide to authorities? Do
we provide it as individuals or as a collective? If another member agrees to
provide information to authorities, am I by proxy granting consent to also
give information by being a member of melbwireless? What details will
melbwireless collect from members that it will pass on to authorities?

Best to leave the network open.
