From sugarman@world.std.com Mon Oct 10 13:03:47 1994 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: sugarman@world.std.com (Steven Garman) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,misc.entrepreneurs,alt.business.misc,biz.general Subject: 2nd RFD: misc.entrepreneurs.moderated moderated Followup-To: news.groups Date: 10 Oct 1994 11:08:17 -0400 Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA Lines: 155 Sender: tale@uunet.uu.net Approved: tale@uunet.uu.net Message-ID: <37bld1$320@rodan.UU.NET> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:5752 misc.entrepreneurs:24009 alt.business.misc:6866 biz.general:272 This Request For Discussion (RFD) is being publicly posted, in accordance with the process of creating a USENET newsgroup, as given in the document "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" (found on news.announce.newgroups; maintained by David Lawrence ). The proposed moderated newsgroup is to be made to allow business/ entrepreneurial discussions to take place in an atmosphere that is not like the current advertisement-heavy one of misc.entrepreneurs, which detracts from the discussions greatly. The ability to advertise in that newsgroup is constantly overreached. Thus, to avoid an abundance of advertisement postings, all ability to advertise in the new group must be removed; this can only be done by moderation. The proposed moderation will not detract from the sufficiency of alternatives that exist for ad posting spaces (misc.entrepreneurs, biz.general, the proposed biz.vendors.announce, and whatever newsgroup the advertisers create themselves), whereas it will provide a sufficient alternative for discussions of entrepreneurial interest, which currently *does not exist*. There will be one moderator, and one or more assistant moderators (AMs). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- begin charter--------------------------------------------begin charter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARTER, misc.entrepreneurs.moderated _____________________________________ The newsgroup is for the purposes of moderated discussion of entrepreneurial and small-business topics, like: starting a business, finding capital, running operations, controlling costs, obtaining appropriate products and services, handling employees, filing patents, handling tax laws, obtaining credit-card and check processing, etc. _____________________________________ The following will be allowed: Entrepreneurial discussions. Discussions on operating a small business. MLM discussions. Business methodologies and philosophies. Business conferences/seminars from gov agencies or universities. Business conferences/seminars from some NPOs. Informational postings of news articles. Sigs (which may contain ads) that do not exceed 6 lines. Sigs that exceed 6 lines, but will be clipped by the moderator. Limited discussions on the group's moderation policies. The following will not be allowed: Cross-posting to misc.entrepreneurs. Spams of any sort. MAKE.MONEY.FAST and other such illegal postings. Blatant advertisements for products or services. China Business Journal and things like it. Business conferences/seminars from private organizations. MLM discussions that advertise or promote an MLM. Investor/capitalist proposals and contacts. Excessive discussions on the group's moderation policies. Anti- or Pro-MLM diatribes. Flames (will be referred to email). The following will be allowed, but discouraged by the moderator: Posts that were intended to be private responses. _____________________________________ Posts will be judged strictly by the above criteria, and by whichever moderator that is doing the work. Rejected posts will not be returned; instead, a form letter might be returned, which will have a checklist denoting the problem(s) that caused the rejection. Changes to the moderation policies are the duty and responsibility of the moderator. Before changes are done, the moderator will do two things: 1) Run any proposed changes by the AM(s), to gain AM advice. 2) Post proposed policy changes to the newsgroup, to obtain reader advice. Transfers of moderation workload will take place by the moderator's arrangement with one of the AMs. Once arranged, the moderator will place the target AM Internet address(es) in his ".forward" file. This will be done for as long as the arrangement called for. New assistant moderators may be added, in a voting procedure that mimics the CFV procedure. The proposed, added, assistant moderator will be presented to the newsgroup in an pseudo-CFV, by the moderator; yea/nay votes will be collected by the moderator via email for 2 weeks (votes which are only posted will be ignored); the outcome must be 2/3rds in favor, in order to accept the new assistant moderator. Once there are 3 AMs, no new nominations will be accepted until such time as the moderation group (primary and assistants) agrees that there is a need for additional AMs. The moderator and AMs will exchange phone numbers and keep in touch, to minimize newsgroup downtime if a transferral of moderation needs to take place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- end charter------------------------------------------------end charter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The proposed moderator will be Mr. Steven Garman (sugarman@world.std.com). "Mr. Garman has been active on the Internet since June 1992. He started out as sugarman@cs.umb.edu, with no major problems with his sysadmin (Elisabeth Schwartz (betsys@cs.umb.edu)), and went to world.std.com in August 1994. He is 27; single; by trade, an electronic/computer technician of 8 years experience. He has worked in the military and in civilian organizations. He dropped out of college to join a friend, who began a high-tech startup company that sought to develop an invention (an aerospace and otherwise structural material process). He is a Shareware author. He was an associate producer of a nationally-distributed, instructional baseball video. He has invested in, and advised, an instructional airbrushing video company. He has coauthored three technical grants to US Federal government agencies. He has consulted for other small business, using his technical expertise, and advised many users on Internet usage. He has been a long-time reader/poster in misc.entrepreneurs, and has been the active Archivist for the newsgroup since June 1994. He is self- taught in programming, business and history." The proposed assistant moderator will be Mr. David Harrison (harris99@futures.wharton.upenn.edu). "David is an entrepreneurial management major in the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He has had experience in initiating several small business ventures, and is currently pursuing an opportunity to serve the University Community in all their recreational needs. He has been an active follower of groups in the biz.* hierarchy and of misc.entrepreneurs for over a year." In accordance to the above documents, this RFD must result in a final version of the Charter for misc.entrepreneurs.moderated within 30 days after being posted, or the public discussion will be stopped, and the problems must be worked out in private email; this rule will be enforced by the proposed moderator and/or the moderator of news.announce.newgroups (in accordance with the newsgroup-creation document listed above). If this occurs, and the problems are resolved, then the RFD will be publicly resubmitted for another possible 30-day period. And so on, until the proposer gives up, or the final RFD is achieved to the satisfaction of the proposer. At the end of the successful period of discussing the proposed group, the Call For Votes (CFV) will take place. Then the period of voting will begin, and votes will officially be taken. Do not alter the cross-postings or Follow-Up line in this post when replies are made. Do not reply privately via email; the RFD is a public affair. -- sugarman@world.std.com | Let them eat narrow bandwidth! | Standard Disclaimer Boston MA USA | Physics is the universe's operating system | UWSA Mem. 168404 From rdippold@qualcomm.com (RonDippold) Mon Nov 21 12:51:44 1994 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: rdippold@qualcomm.com (Ron "Asbestos" Dippold) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,misc.entrepreneurs,alt.business.misc,biz.general,alt.inventors Subject: CFV: misc.entrepreneurs.moderated moderated Followup-To: poster Date: 21 Nov 1994 11:49:10 -0500 Organization: Usenet Volunteer Votetakers Lines: 115 Sender: tale@uunet.uu.net Approved: tale@uunet.uu.net Expires: 13 Dec 1994 00:00:00 GMT Message-ID: References: Reply-To: voting@qualcomm.com (Ron Dippold Voting Alias) NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:5965 news.groups:124051 misc.entrepreneurs:26897 alt.business.misc:9624 biz.general:676 alt.inventors:226 FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2a) moderated group misc.entrepreneurs.moderated Newsgroups line: misc.entrepreneurs.moderated Entrepreneur/business topics.
