OpenWetWare:Accounts policy/June Meeting


 * Jason R. Kelly:The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss/better clarify the new account policy on OpenWetWare. There are a number of applications back-logged that are on the fence and I'd like to get them cleared up.  Additionally, the policy has been relatively informal to date (maybe a good thing), and might be worth clarifying.

Todo

 * 1) Approve-industry email in UMS
 * 2) Reject-view soruce email in UMS
 * 3) Flag users for watch list? technically feasible?
 * 4) Update the Join page
 * 5) Process for blocking users / evaluating pseudoscience / advertising / etc; bring up at SC meeting.

Done

 * 1) Policy page thats linked to from block page should be filled out. (just linked to etiquette)
 * 2) Update move guidlines onto accounts page

Agenda

 * Institutional Affiliation?
 * What about people from companies who want to advertise their product (or their conferences)?
 * What about people with no current academic affiliation?
 * People who just want access to OWW tools? (e.g. "want to learn how the biblo extension works?")
 * Teachers/students from high schools?
 * Procedure for blocking people who spam?
