 The Toronto Freenet is on the
 brink of collapse. With a mass
 exodus of it's Board of Directors
 and ongoing elections for a new
 set of Directors very important 
 decisions are being made by TFN
 members for the future of Community
 Networks both regionally and 
 internationally.

 The most critical elements to
 the survival of the TFN are fund
 raising, volunteers and integrity.

 TFN has 200 phone lines. It is
 essential that sponsors be found
 to support each of these lines.
 That would bring in about two
 hundred thousand dollars per year.
 In combination with member's
 generous donations and other
 support this would ensure 
 that the Freenet remains FREE.

 TFN is not a business though
 it demands serious and accountable
 management. TFN is a non-profit
 hopefully soon to become charitable
 organization run by VOLUNTEERS.
 This fact requires a friendly and
 experienced staff well versed in
 the dynamics of volunteerism and
 non-profit groups.

 Finally TFN require integrity
 that will not fail or flinch when
 comes to tough decisions, admission
 of past errors and determinations
 of future course. Perhaps this last
 element is the most important.

 I encourage all persons interested
 in the Freenet movement and community
 networking to support the Toronto
 Freenet with donations and your
 active interest. TFN has suffered
 great damage... let us all work
 towards it's rising from the ashes.
