| == What is May First/People Link ==
| |
| | |
| MF/PL is an organization that redefines the concept of "Internet Hosting Service" in a collective, progressive and collaborative way.
| |
| | |
| May First/People Link is like a coop: as members, we pay dues, buy equipment and then we all use that equipment as we need to for websites, email, email lists, and just about everything else we do on the Internet.
| |
| | |
| At MF/PL members are encourage to use all the resources necessary to be successful - whether that's additional email addresses, web sites or other services: there are no pre-defined limits to what you can use. All you do is pay your dues. Dues are on a sliding scale, starting with $200 for an organization and $100 for an individual (90% of our members pay this level of dues). A small number of organizations pay more based on the cost of their additional resource usage.
| |
| | |
| MF/PL is comprised of both individuals and organizations and is directed by a Leadership Committee comprised of 15 MF/PL members who named a director to oversee operations day to day. The MF/PL "staff" is a group of members, most of whom donate their time to the organization.
| |
| | |
| At this point, MF/PL is one of the few organizations of its type in the world and one of the world's oldest and largest politically progressive Internet providers. <br>

As an activist, mission-based project, our primary concern is not profit, but instead the stability, security, reliability and future of our movement's Internet infrastructure.
