Government Task Force Charge, 9/24/08

Al Andalus Government Task Force Charge

Background:

Al Andalus was formed as an experiment in government, based on "Authentic Islamic principles." The project anticipated that the sims would be owned and governed by a representative assembly. The sims took much longer to bring online, and much more to build than anyone anticipated. With Michel Manen's withdrawal from Second Life, the burden and expense of running the sims has fallen on Rose Springvale, trying to keep it together as originally planned.

While Rose continues to be very fond of the project and people, she recognizes her limitations. This task force is convened to research what the community wants and expects by way of govrenment. Rose will not be an active participant of the group, so that all particpants are free to express their conerns and expectations.
