So you have seen SIGN's definition of violence and vandalism?
Some of each is allowed, in very limited circumstances.

I take it you will be the designated representative of Flora.org ;)
I will undertake to approach FAO, LETS and NOWAR/PAIX about this.
What is your timetable for yes/no from each organization on Flora?
