In
the
last
decade
the
organization
has been devastated
by
reform
and
privatization
policies
that resulted
in confused
procedures,
errors
and
a degraded
price/quality
relationship.
The
ultra-quick
rotation
of
the

office staff

Beyond
the
use
of
an
insulting
terminology,
this
organization,
which
officially
aims
at
promoting
transparency,
hides
the
identity
of
their
members.
Contrary
to
the obligations
it
would
like
to
impose
to
bulk-email
senders,
it
does
not
offer
any
removal
facility.
Procedures
are
arbitrary,
do
not
respect
the legal
definitions
of
spam,
and may harm
the
reputation
of senders
without
any guarantee
of transparency
or fairness. |

The
attempt
to
create
an
online
encyclopedia
based
on cooperation
and
trust
was
commendable
Unfortunately,
in
time,
the
organization
developed
its
own
bureaucracy
stamped
with
conflicts
of
interest,
entrenched
positions,
arbitrary
and
unfairness
in
the
choice
and
treatment
of
the
subjects
The
nebulous
concept
of
notability
drives
to
an aberrant
and
conservative
overrepresentation
of
persons
or
institutions
that
do
not
deserve
it, on
the
simple
basis
that
they
are
known
in
the
medias;
but
an encyclopedia
is
not
the
whos
who;
it
is meant
to
take
stock
and reflect
the
state-of-the-art
in
knowledge
and
science. |

The
organization
offers
possibilities
to
persons
or organizations
that
have a
limited
budget
to
have
their
IT development
done
at
low
cost.
However,
it
developed
heavy
procedures
and
multiple
control
freaks
that
may
limit
its
interest
as
a market
place.
The
organization
instituted
a whole
bureaucracy
online,
but
the
efficacy
of
this approach
is
not
demonstrated.
Arbitration
behavior
may
not
be
reliable,
while forced escrow makes the site almighty.
The
organization
does not
know
the
profiles
of
their
users and
may
be
very
third-party
dependent,
notably
on
local
law. |
