BOOK CLUB: Final? version of our administrative guidelines for comment.

[crispini]

Ok, this thread is basically a collected and distilled version of what we said in the other thread, as far as our mission statement and how we're going to run it. Now is the time for feedback and thoughts! :)

MISSION: The DU nonfiction book club will discuss political and/or various nonfiction books. The aims of the group are to encourage reading of a variety of interesting books and to faciliiate friendly discussion.

GUIDELINES: We will discuss 1 book per month, more or less, with adjustments to the schedule for long or short books as requested by the membership.

We will maintain a running list of books which are nominated (and seconded) for consideration, and we will choose these books on a rolling basis. Right now at the beginning we will choose two for December and January. Then in December we will start the voting for the Febuary book. In January we will start the voting for the March book. And so on.

OPEN ISSUE: We may or may not do this in a Group, depending on the Admins and everyone here (and feedback is welcome). Right now several members prefer to have a Group for ease of organization (keep all threads together). However since non-star members can't post in Groups that would be a negative.

Thoughts, whines, bitches, etc? Do you like or do you not like? Yea or nay? :D
