<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Friends,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The mailing lists operate
through the kind financial support of subject associations, the VCAA and a
number of other sponsors.These sponsors have a financial model they operate
within and this has to be kept in mind by edulists. These sponsors have only 1
aim and that is the best educational outcomes for their members and the
education community. Obviously without a financial model they cannot
exist. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is no censoring of posts as long as they meet
the netiquette guidelines of Edulists as found at <A
href="http://www.edulists.com.au/">www.edulists.com.au</A> . The only
modification to these guidelines is :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>10. "Infomercials", announcements regarding Professional Development,
courses, conferences, and any other "advertising" needs to be approved by the
moderator of Edulists <A href="mailto:kevork@edulists.com.au">Kevork Krozian</A>
( mobile: 0419 356 034 ) prior to posting to any list.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The reason for this is to
avoid any impression of "conflict" between activities or events. It is for that
reason that I have asked for these announcements to be cleared by the moderator
- moi - before posting. I can't imagine that there would be any reason to say no
except if there is an overlap with a sponsors' activities.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It would be naive, and
ignorant of the moderator to expect that a sponsor of edulists does not mind if
there are announcements on edulists by associations and others eg publishers,
commercial organisations or any other entity that may overlap with the sponsors'
activities. Sorry if that is stating a commercial
reality. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In a global sense, it is not ok for
organisations that I have not met nor have any communication with to simply
splash announcements of their events to recruit business without any
communication with the moderator. My door is always open and my mailbox always
ready as is my phone to talk to any organisation that wishes to further
education especially in any area not just ICT or Digital Learning or elearning
or open source software. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I hope everyone is ok with that.
Feel free to call me or email me off list if you have a counter opinion please
as I would prefer to discuss this in private in the first instance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> As this will be posted to all the
lists please excuse the repetition if it is received more than
once.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best Wishes</FONT></DIV>
