Group submission address: cpsr-announce@cpsr.org Moderator contact address: cpsr-announce-owner@cpsr.org For your newsgroups file: comp.org.cpsr.announce Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. (Moderated) The charter, culled from the call for votes: comp.org.cpsr.announce will be used for announcements from the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility and affiliated groups, as well as other announcements deemed appropriate by the moderators. Postings to the comp.org.cpsr.announce newsgroup will be gatewayed from the existing list cpsr-announce@cpsr.org and will consist of announcements and news items relevant to social issues and computing. These postings will originate with CPSR or one of a selected set of collaborating organizations. Items from the general public will be posted when they appear relevant and consistent with the announcement purpose of the newsgroup. This will not be a moderated discussion group, but rather a moderated informational broadcast. Since this newsgroup will be an extension of the existing moderated email list, the moderation policy is well understood, and may be reviewed in detail by examining the archives of the existing list. The comp.org.cpsr.talk list will be unmoderated and is intended for free form discussion on the same subjects. The existing email list to be gatewayed to the moderated newsgroup carries information of key importance to the entire computing profession and to those interested in the social impact of computing. The existing email list has passed 5600 subscribers and is growing fairly rapidly, yet some people have complained that the list was hard to discover and know about. Since CPSR is a national organization with 22 chapters, and is involved in issues of wide interest, a new newsgroup is an appropriate vehicle of communication. The moderators are reachable at cpsr-announce-owner@cpsr.org and will consist of a mix of some CPSR board personnel and some volunteers. Articles may be submitted to cpsr-announce@cpsr.org.
