2004) What are the guidelines for using GVD?
There's none. We, the organizers of GVD, hope to give the highest
degree of flexibility to the volunteers and those who use the service.
Therefore, we leave it to them to decide what they what to make of GVD.
We also do not wish to put a restriction on who can use GVD. In
theory, everyone who has access to this compiled list can make use of
the service. At this point in time, we have chosen an electronic-medium
(namely Internet) to distribute GVD. Should there be a demand for
other means of distribution, we will glad extend the service.
Although we do not wish to put too much control over GVD, we
believe it is essential to set some guidelines. The following list
of guidelines should be understood and respected by those who use and
take part in this project:
1) No one should use GVD as a means to advocate personal/
political propaganda of any kind;
2) Use of GVD for any commercial purpose would require
seeking a prior approval from the volunteers;
3) Each volunteer (and those who use the service) should
show mutual respect, regardless of one's background.
Humiliation, discrimination, and person-attacks of
any kind shall not be accepted.
4) People who volunteer to submit their information/
addresses, though have the right to withdraw their
support at any time, should realize that their
information will be distributed through many
different channels all over the world. Hence, it
will be almost impossible to wipe out one's information
entirely once they are submitted.
