The concept of this platform is as open as it can get. Any member can invite anybody. An outsider though has to be invited by someone from inside to prevent spammers from taking over. It is the same as how mail-art works. You discover a person who is doing mail-art. Send him mail, and he opens the mail-art network bu sending you more details of the mail-art community. So this concept is simple and good. Open communities without memberships dont even last a week because all kind of spammers take over and a moderator can't control that. You know that Hans....

when I look at google: http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=iuoma+network&btnG=Goog... I just find the IUOMA network, so I CAN find them and they are public. So who is talking about a private place is wrong!

I am reffering me that non members cannot visiting these pages.
I am with you the same opinion that to participate a membership is requiered to avoid spam.
You write me "The main pages are public though." Where?
I cannot fond thes pages of this network. I think, Mail Art in first place is a public revolution and not a private meeting of a fan club.
