Welcome to the PEI Proportional Representation Network forum and email listserve!

This list is moderated by unpaid volunteers who are not working on behalf of any organization.

Post to the group by emailing peiprnetwork@gmail.com

____________________________________________________________________________

The purpose of this forum is to start and respond to discussion topics which:

1 - share important news and updates about Proportional Representation on PEI

2 - share resources, research, and links about Proportional Representation on PEI

3 - announce new initiatives, potential projects and ideas for projects, to solicit feedback.

And please always abide by the Community Agreements. (Follow link or see below.) Please be aware you are posting to all members of the group and moderators can't promise members will keep your information confidential.

If a new initiative gains momentum and new project team forms, the organizers should create a separate means of communication (an email list, a social media group, a face-to-face meeting...) for more detailed planning discussions, and share key announcements and decisions back to this central channel so that the whole network can stay up to date.

COMMUNITY AGREEMENT

When I engage in this community-based network, I agree that:

I am here to help make Proportional Representation become a reality on PEI. I will stay on-topic, and not use this space for promoting other causes.
I will use respectful language. I won't bully, belittle, harass, impersonate, or ridicule others.
I will help to make this a great space for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small.
I will respect diversity of opinion, and bring a sense of curiosity, seeking to understand differences in perspective within the network.
If I disagree with something, I will focus on critiquing the idea, not the person. I will avoid name-calling, ad hominem attacks, responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content, and knee-jerk contradiction. Instead, if I need to disagree, I will provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
I will be conscious of the number of messages (both frequency of messages, and their length) that I send to the full network list/forum - I will not monopolize, spam or take advantage of the space. I will put out calls for collaboration and then send further messages regarding the collaboration to my collaborators rather than to the whole network.
I will make an effort to keep the space tidy. I won't divert discussion topics by changing tracks midstream. I will change subject-lines when I introduce a new topic.
I will respect everyone's right to choose what discussions they will - and won't - engage in.
I recognize that supporters Proportional Representation can be found in all parties. (So, for example, I will be careful to differentiate between 'the Liberal Party' and 'Liberals', many of whom disagree with the stance that their party has taken on this issue.)
I support the Network Moderators group to hold us all accountable to these agreements, and support them updating these agreements from time-to-time, as needed. If I see anti-social behaviour occurring within the group, I will raise it with the moderators to be addressed.
