Resolution 7.08 Establishment of the Conclave’s Private Domme Chat
Sponsored by Mistress Mary
Official Text of the Resolution
Whereas the FemdomU Conclave provides its members with a formal setting for sponsoring resolutions, conducting discussions, and exercising their voting authority;
Whereas the Dommes of the Conclave would benefit from an additional private space in which they may communicate more openly, strengthen their relationships, and learn from one another;
Therefore, the FemdomU Conclave hereby directs Zeek Strong, Lead Sub of FemdomU Magazine, to create a private chat space accessible exclusively to current members of the Conclave.
Within this space, Conclave members may openly discuss their experiences, exchange ideas and advice, share photographs intended only for fellow members, and address confidential Conclave matters that should not become part of the public record.
Zeek shall complete the technical work required to establish the private chat. Once it is operational, he shall not retain access to its conversations, photographs, or other content unless specifically invited by a Conclave member to perform a limited administrative task.
Participation in the private chat shall be entirely optional. No Conclave member shall be required to join discussions, post content, share photographs, or maintain any minimum level of participation.
This private space shall supplement, but not replace, the official Conclave process. Any resolution, formal debate, nomination, or vote intended to become part of the official record must continue through the established Conclave channels.
Options for Vote
- YES: Establish the private Domme chat and direct Zeek to create it under the terms of this resolution.
- NO: Do not establish an official private chat for Conclave members at this time.
- ABSTAIN: Decline to vote either for or against this resolution.
Passage Threshold
Majority Decision (>50%)
This resolution shall pass when it receives more than 50 percent of the votes cast. Abstentions shall not be included when calculating the required majority.
Note from the Sponsor
The idea behind this is a place where we can communicate freely anything we don’t want the world to see. Maybe there is a question on someone’s post that you have and you don’t want to ask and sound like you are undermining the author. Maybe a sub did something funny that you don’t want the world to see, or you want to show off yourself and not have someone turn it into something sexual. This is a place for us to be free and open and share without judgement or worries.
I loved this idea when it came to me, and then our other new Guest Domme Mistress Deese had a similar idea – great minds ladies!
The important thing here is each member woulde decide how much she participates, if at all. There are no requirements, no expectations, but a way for us to connect with each other.
Beautifully said Geena, and I’m happy someone else had a similar idea.
I can see this having a great deal of value, especially as a place for the Dommes to get to know one another, share experiences, and have more casual conversations. My concern is creating yet another location where FemdomU or Conclave business is conducted. We already have too many places where important discussions can become scattered or overlooked.
I would prefer that, if this space is established, it remain an optional, non-business chat. Official Conclave matters, decisions, assignments, and anything requiring action should remain within our existing channels. With that distinction made clear, I would support giving the ladies a private place to connect more informally.
This is a fun idea. Some initial thoughts:
1. Is this actually visible only to the Dommes? Don’t the boys manage the website?
2. How secure would the content be? I know nothing is guaranteed, but if this is considered private/sensitive, I’m sure nobody would want our stuff to get leaked.
3. I see Heather’s no-business comment, which makes sense. But, I’ve sometimes thought it would be nice to get feedback, or even a quote or two from other Dommes when writing an article. Wouldn’t this be a good place to do that? I don’t have a way to reach out to any of the other guest Dommes otherwise.
Good questions. For 1 and 2, since those fall under tech I’ve decided to have Zeek answer. I’ve sent him details on the proposed room, and asked him to provide us input on those questions.
I think for #3 your use makes sense. I’ll leave it open to discussion though, perhaps others have thoughts?
Ok ladies. We used the conclaveboy to get the following info from Zeek, which answers Amanda’s 1 + 2 questions, as best we can:
============
from Zeek:
“We use some top security products and our site is monitored. We do everything on our end to protect the data. However, one weak point that could occur is what happens on a user’s end. If a domme downloads a photo, for example, our security measures do nothing from that point forward. In short, yes we’re doing all we can but nothing on the internet is ever 100% private.
We do have an option to increase the security even further with the messaging app we’ve deployed. This would come at a substantial monthly cost, but it is an upgrade we have on the roadmap, although not for some time.
As for who has access to the backend – yes, in general I and duckie have admin rights and could access messages. I’d set it up to give only duckie such access on this room, similar to the other Conclave content.”
Hi Mary – wow already coming up with a great idea for conclave! I like this for the most part. I’m horrible with the tech and duckie has to help me get into my chatroom with the boys almost every time, but I’m sure eventually I’d figure this out too.
I will say though, I hope duckie at least has the ability to help me get logged into it because without him I’m pretty much a lost cause.
I think based on Zeek’s response to our questions, it is likely we’d need to give duckie access as our Conclaveboy, thus yes Barb, you could still rely on him 🙂
I see where this might be useful, but honestly something I’d be unlikely to check regularly. I’d be more likely to go through messages maybe a couple times a month – if that’s sufficient I can see participating.
This wouldn’t be an official thing that needs to be checked several times a day, and as Geena pointed out each Lady would dictate her own usage and participation in the chat. It’s an informal way for us all to talk to each other in a more casual setting. Where anything and everything can be shared.
I like the idea. But I agree with Heather that private comms should be about individuals – Dommes and subs – and lifestyle practices, not anything affecting FUM directly. Conversation which begins in private can certainly carry over to things of interest more generally, of course; and we can all be alert for this.
Seems like a good idea Mary – obviously I’m not great at logging in here consistently, but mayb I would more often if we had something like this setup!
