A Proposal !!!!!!

I am planning to create an international network for the associates of the MA/MFA (past, present and the future). The network could centre around a web site where the members are professionally introduced, this could include details of work, practice and publications.....Forums can be linked to the network ( there can be more than one blog ) where different groups can discuss different issues. The network can provide a framework for publicity of its members, a place to get to know one another, to discuss different ideas, to organize international exhibition/events, and for publications. It would be based on participatory events and very much in the hand of its members. I think the net work should be independent but it can maintain an association with the University.
Ok you may say all very well but how can it be done? Simple. All a network needs is strong and creative members and I believe we have this and some. We do not need a very complicated web site at least to begin with if we use the blog system for communication and link it for convenience to the site. I am familiar with required level of programming and I could put something together hopefully by the end of the Summer. We would need financial support at some stage but I think the idea is too exciting to be halted by various found raising scheme. I suggest that we get the ball rolling and then seek financial help. What do I need from you at this stage? As the present students you will have to play a key role but first I need to know whether you like the idea or not. And if you do then I can start putting the plan into action. We need a title, a logo, perhaps a look and any other ideas concerning the design which may also be linked to the way you may want to run the network.

Thanks Laury and Sarah for your interest. I expected a bit more action from the rest but your approval was enough to open up the blog to everyone else. If you do not talk you do not have a voice.
