Terms Of Service Update for the Archive of our Own

The OTW's Content Policy is pleased to put the following updates to the Archive's Terms of Service forward for two weeks of public discussion. The full Terms of Service can be found linked on the archive page, but for clarity, all emendations and new policy items are listed below the cut.

Summary of Changes: aka: the Bottom Line!

The TOS updates include the addition of section V, which covers new features not covered in the initial ToS--namely: A. Collections, Challenges, and Exchanges, B. Fannish next-of-kin, C. Orphaning Works, D. Open Doors--and updates to our tag wrangling and icon policies (sections I.G.1 and IV.J). Please note that the new features are experimental or in some cases, like collections, not active yet.

These changes are not yet final: we are currently offering them for a comment period of at least two weeks before the board votes on them, as per section I.A.2 of the ToS. We are soliciting feedback during this time: please leave all comments at the OTW Blog. Comments must be received by July 28, 2009.

Specific TOS updates below the cut!
