<p class="Default"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As a social scientist and someone with 15 years of experience among Internet developers, I am extremely wary of appeals to "the community," especially
when there is a definite article in front of it. First, you have to specify what "community" you are referring to, and if that doesn't mean absolute unanimity among everyone involved (which of course never happens) how does one get included or excluded from
such a "community" voice. One must also be aware of the inherent ambiguities - and potential for manipulation and abuse - that can come from claims to speak for or to divine the "will" or "needs" of something called "the community." Lots of people who are
leaders in this space think that they can call up a few friends, ask for comments on an email list and then decide for themselves what "the community" wants. Too often, the concept of a homogeneous community serves as a way to suppress or paper over dissent
and the need for deliberation. Further, the concept of "responsibilities and service to the community" can be and often is used as a way to override individual rights. So in its current form I couldn't accept this principle.
