Mental Mentors Group Charter Version 1.2

Previous versions will be obsolete, when this line is removed

MENTORING is our number one priority, MM provides a place to let off steam for mentors

Mental Mentors is not an open enrollment group, new members are required to be Second Life Mentors** and invited by the group managers or officers.

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.

The following Group Charter has been written, and will work in conjunction with the TOS, Community Standards and Mentor TAO.

  • All Mental Mentors shall have voting rights for any Group proposals.
  • Retired Mentors shall be given the option of remaining in the Mentals group.

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.

  • Apprentice Mentors May be invited to join MM, after having completed their Orientation session**.
  • The Management of the Group will not become involved in any disputes between members. Such disputes out of respect and courtesy to others in group should be handled by individual members in private IM, not in the group chat.
  • Any person, who openly slanders, harassess or victimises any group member, through either a group notice, or group chat, will receive a formal written warning from management.

If the behaviour persists, the offending party will be ejected from the group, with no form of redress.

  • 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.
  • CHAT SPAM is fine, providing it does not get out of hand. If it gets out of hand, the offending members will receive a formal written warning from management.

If the behaviour persists, the offending party will be ejected from the group, with no form of redress. In extreme cases, Managment may elect to eject the person without warning

  • Harrassment is defined as but not limited to the following:

Racial Vilification, Religious Vilification, Sexual Vilification, Harrassment, Slander or any behaviour that a mentor, officer or management finds offensive.

If a member complains of any of the above they need proof to back it up.

  • 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.

Management reserves the right to overturn the recommendations made by the officer stream.

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 should be role models for all group members and be available to offer help to any member in need.
  • Officers have the right to invite new members to MM.
  • Officers have the right to eject memeberfs from MM.
  • Officers have the right to send notices and proposals.

As we all have other committements, a Officer may not be available at all times.

Management reserves the right to overturn the recommendations made by the officer stream.

  • Group Sub positions may be created to facilitate additional Officer Duties.

Current Sub positions include:

  • Press Officer:

The Press Officer will represent Mental Mentors in consultation with the owners of the group, to all media seeking information regarding Mental Mentors.

Management retains the right to move officers or individual members into any additional sub groups within the main group

  • 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.

Management reserves the right to overturn the recommendations made by the officer stream.

  • Should any Group Member breach any of the above conditions, or for reasons not stated here, they will be ejected from the group without warning and at the owners discretion.

*Decisions made under previous Charters are binding and not subject for review under changed or modified new charters.

The management reserve the right to add any new items to the Charter as required
