The Westford Cable Forum (Westford_Cable) discussion group is an online forum sponsored by the Communications Advisory Committee (CAC) - formerly the Cable Advisory Committee. This forum enables residents of the Town of Westford, MA to freely discuss Cable Service issues and helps the CAC deal with related problems and concerns.

The charter of the Westford Cable Forum is as follows:

- To provide a Public Forum for online discussion of Cable matters that do not directly affect public policy

- To serve as an extension of "face-to-face" monthly CAC Meetings by sharing information and working agendas between Meetings

- To enable Cable Subscribers and other Town Residents to share their concerns with their peers, and draw on each other's experience regarding Cable issues and problems

- To provide an online means for the CAC to "announce" Cable-related news developments and information about Public Hearings and other local and regional events that may be of interest to group members

- To facilitate informal online "public polls" related to Cable issues

Because of the open nature of this group, membership will be strictly controlled by the CAC. Nevertheless, all Westford residents and Town Officials are strongly encouraged to request membership and participate as desired.

All members may post freely to the group, but are expected to act responsibly as appropriate in a Public Forum. Group etiquette will be strictly enforced as a condition of membership.

Note that the online Archives will also be kept in hardcopy form for later public reference, and the contents subject to discussion at posted CAC Meetings and incorporated in the associated Minutes.
