Request for help with article on internet policies

[Deb Wiley]

Hello, We are writing an article on the politics involved within an
organization when it comes to putting up and maintaining a web site, or
multiple web sites.  If you have any interest or experience in this area,
please take a few moments to answer the following questions, We also welcome
separate stories, comments and advice.

1)  How many web sites are there within your organization?  Are there sites
that are ONLY for internal access and use?

2)  Are they linked in any way?  Is there one page that is the very TOP site
for your entire organization?

3)  Do you have a policy for what may be put on your web site?

4)  Do you have a stated "purpose" or mission statement for your web site?

5)  If so, who created it?  And who is in charge of making sure people
adhere to the policy?

6)  Is there a review policy for what is put on your web site?

7)  May anyone within your organization put items onto your web site?  Who
physically loads the page(s)?

8)  Is there one controlling body (person, committee, department, etc) which
oversees the web site content?

9)  Who physically creates and codes the web pages?

10)  Who updates and checks the links on your web site?  How often?

11)  How many people were involved in creating your web site?

12)  In an ideal world, how do you think the issues of web content quality,
style, updating and access can best be handled?


Thank you for help!!
