Hi there!<P>I've been following this thread for some time now, but I avoided posting until I had sufficient time sit "sit and think" about the issue.<P>Rei, I think you've hit the nail on the head here. It's an excellent idea, and the model you've come up with is very good.<P>A couple of suggestions/additions:
----------------------------------------
In regards to having a record keeper, if possible this should be a Knight if there is one it that cell. Simply for the practical reason that it's one of the Knights that will have to stand up in Conclave and report on it.<P>That's not to say that there must be a Knight in each cell. Far from it. But, if there is one, from a practical perspective they should be the recordkeeper.<P>Another option would be to have an Administrative cell, to co-ordinate the creation of new cells, collect and collate reports, and manage the web site. This cell would then post reports to the message baords, and report to the Conclave.
---------------------------<P>In regards to an index of cells, that's an excellent idea and we should be able to run it on the web page.<P>Likewise, we could work the "lines of communication" issue with some mailing/distribution lists from the web server. e.g.
cell_Australia@ivbalis.org;
cell_WebHatred@ivbalis.org<P>--------------------------<P>However, there is also an issue of security we need to face and it would be best to discuss it now.<P>The Keenspot boards are a fairly public forum, but private e-mail is not secure either. It is conceivable that there would be associations (and possible governments) who do not agree with what the Order may be doing.<P>For own own safety and security, it would be best to use something like PGP to permit digitally signed and encrypted e-mail.<P>It is available (free) for non-commercial use at <A HREF="http://www.pgpi.org" TARGET=_blank>http://www.pgpi.org</A> <P>It's very easy to install and use, but if anyone wants it, I'll write up some easy-to-use documentation.<P>Ironically, PGP works on a cell-based "web of trust" too, mostly for the same reasons we are.
---------------------------------<P>Aside from that, good work Rei! If you need any help with logistics, drop me a line.<P>PIQE,
