Currently in the Unofficial Guild of Writers Membership discussion there are a couple issues which have divided the community. So, I'd like to take this discussion into the cavern for a live debate.
Please join me on Saturday 15 September 2007 at 8 pm Mountain Time (GMT - 6) in the Writer's Pub. Click here for a time converter.
Here's the format for the debate:
- For each topic, I need someone to represent each side.
- Each side has 2 minutes to present their case without interruption.
- Next, I will pose a question to each representative, and each will have 2 minutes to respond.
- For a period of 10 minutes, the community will be invited to ask either side a question regarding the topic of discussion.
- We move on to the next topic.
And below are the topics of discussion, along with the people who have expressed an opinion on that topic; it is the hope that at least one of these people will be able to attend the debate.
Topic 1: Who is eligible for membership in the UGoW?
a. Anyone that agrees to uphold the mission statement and follow the code of conduct
