Membership Rights and Obligations

Membership in the Web is mostly a state of mind to be claimed. Members have obligations to the Web (each other), and the Web exists by their voluntary efforts. Through these, the Web and its members create and claim rights, especially the right to ritual and magic in safe space. The obligations and rights are:

• None shall obligate the Web to perform any deed, unless such deed has the consensus of the Web at an announced Web event.
• None shall strike another, nor otherwise do violence, nor cause another to act against their own free will.
• None shall publish, distribute, or network in any manner, if the Web's name or activities are involved or mentioned, tending to reduce credit, respect and Tolerance of Earth Religions, or Causing greater public knowledge of any other than is their will.
• None shall be barred from gatherings announced in the Newsletter, save for a Decision of Misbehavior by consensus of the Web at an announced Web event.
• All have the right to ritual which addresses their needs and beliefs, an it harm none. It is the member's responsibility to make these needs and beliefs known in a planning meeting.
• Groups within or networking with the Web make their own rules, and are not obliged to accept anyone based on mutual Web membership.
• If you volunteer to do something, make sure it gets done somehow.

Other facts pertaining to Web membership and decision making are:

To come to a Web event, one must be sponsored, or have attended at least two events, one of which must be a ritual. Sponsorship is defined in Amazing Graces' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior in Ritual.

There is no quorum. Decisions are possible at all announced Web events.

No one under 18 can be unsponsored at any Web event. Children are welcome when sponsored.
