This is how it works, a surface look at the features, tools and
possibilities, which are many.

NAFEX G+ page

A NAFEX Google+ page would have  a community of owner(s) and manager(s),
each with different levels of access.
They create an array of circles. Circles are forums, analogous to mailing
lists but work as webforums and use email in completely different ways such
as notification of new posts submitted
to circles that have been added to.

The NAFEX managers or owners can then add each and every NAFEX member, with
Gmail and appropriately named and used G+ page, to their NAFEX Members
General Discussion Circle, i.e. populating the Circle with them just as you
would subscribe users to a mailing list. This is accomplished by the NAFEX
manager "Following" the member's G+ NAFEX Member page that he created for
himself. The NAFEX member then can post to his own G+ NAFEX page and it
will automatically become visible in the NAFEX Members General Discussion
Circle.

Owners and managers can always create new posts to any circle. They can
also create new Circles on various topics.
One of the Circles they can create is, for example, NAFEX Members General
Discussion. NAFEX members interested in using this G+ page and all its
resources
would get a Gmail account, then get a Google+ page named something like
John Plumpit NAFEX member. He would then create Circles on topics for posts
he would want to appear in the
NAFEX G+ page. NAFEX would have one Circle for general discussion,
populated by all the NAFEX members with G+ pages, i.e "following" the G+
posts of those members. Each NAFEX members would have to populate his nafex
general discussion circle and any other appropriate circles he creates with
the NAFEX page, i.e. add Nafex as a member of his circle(s). If he creates
a Grapes circle and adds nafex to it then all the posts he makes there will
appear in the general discussion circle at the NAFEX page. NAFEX can then
create an array of topical Circles and add NAFEX members to it, thus
populating it with readers or "subscribers" who receive new posts in their
feed. I _think_ this can be done one-way, i.e. NAFEX alone can submit posts
to any of their Circles, while members they have added to the page can read
those posts in their feed, or directly in that circle at the NAFEX page,
and comment on them but not create new posts to that  particular circle.
The members can also create topical Circles in their G+ page and make them
read-only, adding NAFEX and other members to their populations. Posts to
those circles will exist in their own G+ page and also appear in the NAFEX
general discussion circle. Needless to say NAFEX should be added only to
circles of interest to Nafex members, reading them in the NAFEX G+ general
discussion page or in their own G+ feed. For example a member could create
a Plum circle and populate it with NAFEX and a dozen other members.

I need to learn a lot more about how this works, especially how to keep
circles on topic, who can post and who can read and receive in their feed
in an organized way, but this is a quick overview.

If you have more questions let me know and I will try to answer them. In
the meantime I will research Circle management and associated permissions.
Hope there are not too many typos in this post.
