3. Ipce decides
More balance and new section
The meeting accepts the proposal to have more balance on the web site – this means: to give
more room to overall views other than Ipce’s, as long as these articles have a rational base.
Finkelhor is the best example of this. We do not always agree with him, but he has done much
research and has written thoughtful articles.
To give more room for reactions and opinions of our visitors, we will open a new section
“Feedback”. Here, opinions sent to the web master can have their room, as long as the writer
agrees with their being placed on the web, and as long as the opinion is politely written and
has a rational base. Hate mails will not be placed. There were none, or, by the way, maybe just
one with only one word, “pedos”. The feedback will have its own section, to distinguish
shared Ipce Statements from the feedback of others.
Internal communication
As reported, there were problems: interception of e-mails, and illegal access to the internal
bulletin-board-like web site IMO. Consequently the IMO archive was suspended just before
the meeting, and has now been removed from the web. The meeting has discussed several
solutions and options.
With the help of a majority vote, the meeting decided
1) not to use encryption;
2) to start up a protected web site for “News” & “Background” with a new name and a new
URL, new user names and pass words;
3) to start up a protected web site for “Bar” and “Discussion” with a new name and a new
URL, new user names and pass words;
4) to send the URLs, the user names and pass words by encryption or post mail only; and
5) to ask the members to subscribe again to one or both internal web sites.

For long-term policy and strategy, and for advice in case of conflicts between members, Ted,
Jim, Isabel, Ilja and Gerald were appointed to form a team.
For short-term help and for emergencies, Desire, Peter & Paul from Germany were appointed
