Group submission address: mnia-sub@cybernothing.org Moderator contact address: mnia-req@cybernothing.org (J.D. Falk) For your newsgroups file: misc.news.internet.announce News bulletins from the Internet. (Moderated) The charter, culled from the vote result announcement: This newsgroup is a moderated Usenet newsgroup for media coverage of the latest happenings on the Internet. The Internet is growing at an unbelievable pace, and as a result it is experiencing growing pains. The Net has caught the interest of the general public, and the media has taken an interest in the Net. But because the Net is so big, it can be very difficult for the media to keep track of the various news stories appearing on the Net these days. Thus, misc.news.internet.announce is a way for the users of the Internet to bring their own news to the media. This newsgroup will serve as a place for members of Usenet to post Internet-related news stories, press releases, announcements of events taking place on the Internet, and reports of events happening in "the real world" that have an effect on the Internet. This newsgroup will be read and reviewed by members of the media. They will have the opportunity to follow up on news stories posted to this newsgroup, by participating in the companion newsgroup called misc.news.internet.discuss. (See the charter of misc.news.internet.discuss for additional details about that newsgroup.) In this manner, the media will be able to interact with the users of the Internet, and the two organizations will form a close relationship. It is hoped that the media will gain a new, greater understanding on the workings, politics, and philosophies of the users of the Internet, while in turn the members of the Internet will be able to point out important stories taking place that may not be noticed merely by scanning several popular newsgroups. This is a moderated newsgroup. The purpose of the moderator is to filter through the messages posted to this newsgroup, and to approve only those messages that contain Internet-related news. "Internet- related news" is defined as: 1) events taking place on the Internet that have a noticeable effect on the Internet; 2) events taking place in the "real world" that have a noticeable effect on the Internet; or 3) events taking place on the Internet that have a noticeable effect on the "real world." Samples of stories that would be considered "Internet-related news" would include: - A bill filed in Congress aimed at regulating the Internet or placing restrictions on Internet service providers. - A person being arrested for posting a sexually explicit story on the Internet that involves a real-life person. - A major online service attempting to shut down a World Wide Web page that criticizes that online service. - Someone attempting to censor the postings made to a newsgroup because that person or organization disagrees with the opinions of the users of that newsgroup. - A person being sued because of postings he made to the Internet of allegedly "copyrighted trade secret materials." - A reply to the members of the Internet from a business that has been affected by revelations spread on the Internet that their popular computer chip contains a flaw. Press releases and news stories not acceptable in this newsgroup are stories that do not have a noticeable effect on the Internet. In particular, political announcements do not automatically become "Internet-related news" merely because they are posted to the Internet. If a political announcement concerns the Internet specifically, then it would be acceptable on this newsgroup. Postings to this newsgroup will be judged solely on the basis of their focus on the Internet. Bulletins will not be rejected because of any sort of political bias, nor will they be refused because they criticize any person or organization (including the Internet itself, and including the participants and moderator(s) of this or any other Usenet newsgroup). The single criterion for acceptance in this newsgroup is this: if the story meets the definition of "Internet- related news" as mentioned above, it will be accepted. If the author of a message that has been rejected from this newsgroup feels that he or she has been unfairly censored, that person is of course free to state his or her case in news.admin.net-abuse.announce and news.admin.net-abuse.misc. The free speech of Usenet will allow the users of those newsgroups to fairly determine if the rejected message is in fact appropriate for this newsgroup.
