What is our charter, this is currently under discussion. What are your Ideas? Here are some links that talking about writing a mission statement. I like the last one best. Some ideas I think are important, please add your own:


HazeHead says:I think the charter should include a reference to the telco industry's (and other "Last mile" providers') tendency to levy large "access" fees, when they are providing little more than the infrastructure. This is a contributing factor to the grassroots push towards wireless access, in my opinion.

For example: why does a DSL line require a $20-50 monthly charge billed to your telephone bill, in addition to your ISP fees? Why does Qwest [or insert your local telco here] get as much or more than the service provider? What are the actual costs of maintaining the copper, and do they warrant these large fees?
