Ideally, there would be no hierarchy among these four kinds of groups, even though some may be more formal than others. Neither should one type of group play a gatekeeping function within a geography or in other ways. Thoughts? What does this mean in practice? [[User:Bishdatta|Bishdatta]] 22:50, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

No hierarchy among groups

Ideally, there would be no hierarchy among these four kinds of groups, even though some may be more formal than others. Neither should one type of group play a gatekeeping function within a geography or in other ways. Thoughts? What does this mean in practice? Bishdatta 22:50, 7 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
