Mental Mentors does not discriminate. We don't care what kind of avatar you elect to wear.
Mental Mentors is a secondary source of vital information for the SL Mentor Channel.
As responsible individuals Mentors, provide a voluntary service to the SL community at large, its only fair then, that as individuals, we treat each other with the respect we all deserve.
To ensure that this happens and to maintain the integrity of the group, the following Group Charter has been written.
# All Mental Mentors shall have voting rights for any Group proposals.
# Retired Mentors shall be given the option of remaining in the Mentals group. Becoming a mentor is a  voluntary act, we receive no pay for it, or recognition. This clause, is recognition of the valuable service that Retired mentors have given the SL community, and the means to provide that all important link between a wealth of mentoring experience and new mentors coming through the ranks..
# The Management of the Group will not become involved in any disputes between members.  Such disputes must be handled by individual members in private IM, not in the group chat.
# Any person, who openly slanders, harasses or victimizes any group member, through either a group notice, or group chat, will be evicted from the group.
# Group Chat is the place for asking for help from fellow group members, or a place to let off steam, providing courteous boundaries are observed.
# SPAM is fine, providing it does not get out of hand. If it gets out of hand, the offending members may be ejected from the group.
# Harassment is defined as but not limited to the following:
#* Racial Vilification
#* Religious vilification
#* sexual harassment
#* any behavior that a mentor or management finds offensive.
#* There will only be a maximum of 25 officers at any given time.
#  Should Officer positions become vacant, for any reason, Management will issue an open invitation  application to all of MM members. Received invitations will be voted on by the then current officer stream. A period of 48 hours will be the allowed time to cast votes.
The Officer role will be defined in the following manner:
* Officers will meet on a regular basis to discuss matters pertaining to the group, vote on issues that arise, and generally advise the owners.  A minimum of one owner shall be present at all Officers            meetings.
* Officers will act as group chat moderators.
* Officers should be role models for all group members and be available to offer help to any member in need.  As we all have other commitments, a Officer may not be available at all times.
Management reserves the right to overturn the recommendations made by the officer stream.
* Officers have the right to invite new members to MM.
* Officers have the right to eject members from MM.
* Officers have the right to send notices and proposals.

Management retains the right to move officers or individual members  into any additional sub groups within the main group
Management reserves the right to overturn the recommendations made by the officer stream.
# A Member who has been ejected from MM will be allowed to petition for reinstatement after a  cooling off period, providing they agree in writing to abide by the Group charter and are approved by a majority of the current officers.
# Decisions made under previous Charters are binding and not subject for review under changed or modified new charters.
