[Durham INC] neighborhood definition for INC

[TheOcean1 at aol.com]

I'd expect the same answer, Will - although forming a neighborhood  
association wouldn't be hard given that foundation.
While I think INC is just as capable today, it doesn't seem to assist in  
neighborhood forming as much as it once did. :-( 
 
As I understand it, the size requirement was to prevent larger  
neighborhoods from splitting into four smaller ones to carry four votes instead  of 
one. That doesn't seem like a safeguard that we need these days. 
 
Some neighborhoods are incapable of growing beyond a certain size due to a  
number of reasons. They are still neighborhoods in my eyes, their input 
(via  their rep) can be just as valuable, and INC is stronger with more  
neighborhoods than less.
 
I hope we  modify this small part of our by-laws, and not reject small 
neighborhoods when  they express thier interest.

I brought this up a couple years ago, but in the area I  live in the 
neighborhood, in part, is organized primarily by a listserv  and not a 
board or HMO. Can that qualify as a neighborhood for INC? (I  recall the 
answer was no..)
