trAce exists to
connect writers and readers around the world in real and virtual space.
As a professional and social online community for writers, readers and
other artists, and in support of its purpose, the trAce community has
adopted three general governing principles: 1. Principle
of Tolerance We are people of
many nationalities, ages, cultures and artistic persuasions. We ask
that everyone act with respect for others and recognize that effort
may be necessary to avoid misunderstandings rising out of our differences.
2.
Principle of Artistic and Intellectual Freedom We are committed
to
a) supporting
artistic practice across its entire range;
b) recognising such practice as a basic means of expression; and
c) regarding as fundamental our protection and promotion of the artistic
and intellectual freedom of the artists with whom we work. 3. Principle
of Responsible Behaviour We share not only
a common sector of cyberspace but also resources, which are provided
through real-life support, effort and funding and which are finite.
Responsible behaviour is defined as that which conforms to netiquette
standards and which does not interfere in the access and use of trAce
resources. The above principles
were drafted by a representative group of trAce users in May 2000 and
are supported by the organisation as a whole. Enter Community |
