"This" being, that we will let you know when someone's being a pain. We will
require you to know when someones being a pain so that you can slap their
wrist :)

A list of rules I was asking about. I guess what I'm really asking is, what
are the lugnet.com/org/ pages meant to be used for? Can we use it as a
homepage for the organisation (with details such as events, members, photos
etc) or are we to use it as a page for people who want to use the .org.au
newsgroup only? (with only rules for example)

Perhaps not a member of a newsgroup, but a member of an organisation.
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but my view of the org classification was, that it
was to be the focal point for discussion of various organisations' members.
Non-members can participate of course, but the dealings within the .org groups
must be about organisational affairs. This would include such details as
events, meetings, administration,.. and in out case of .org.au we'd also like
to be able to conduct auctions.
However I can see that by asking for auctions is complicating issues a bit,
who gets to auction within the organisation? We can solve who gets to bid (see
below).

Yes I think thats what we're after. But I'll put a little twist into the
wording as I wouldn't want this to start setting a bad precedent for others.
What the wording should inidicate is that auctions in .org.au must be
exclusively for members of that organisation. Now as this particular
organisation is for Australian residents, it is in effect saying that auctions
must be for Australians only (although we may have some honourary non-
Australian members also).
Perhaps can Todd can tell me if this actually is setting a bad precedent.
