This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to create a new USENET group:

GROUP NAME

sci.creativity

STATUS

Un-moderated.


CHARTER

sci.creativity (unmoderated) will be a newsgroup:

a) to discuss techniques and strategies useful in enhancing
creativity

b) to permit world-wide electronic brainstorming.  (For example
one might post a request for ideas on solving a design problem like:
_In what ways might I make office equipment out of used
tires_ and readers would then contribute ideas.  Ideas on
distributing the royalties from patents  are welcomed  :))

c) to publish notions, hypotheses, theories and ideas on the nature
of creative behavior

d) to promote creativity in the performing arts, music, visual arts and
literature

e) to share personal and organizational experiences about creative acts

f) to announce conferences, seminars, new publications, programs and 
courses that focus on creativity

g) to expand the discussion of creativity to a wide audience of
both professionals and lay people

h) to encourage research in the creative process

i) to promote support new inventions , both social and material

j) to provide nourishment for "creative" individuals 
who find themselves isolated and in un-supporting environments


RATIONALE

Creativity and creative problem solving is a focus of study at 
many collegesand university throughout the world.  
Thousands of books and articles have been written on 
creativity and many workshops, seminars and conferences 
have creativity as a major theme.  Business and industry 
spend millions of dollars each year in an attempt to increase 
the creative potential of their employees.  Most important,  
given the pressing problems plaguing humanity, the time has come 
to get serious about encouraging creativity behavior in all people.

I am aware of one discussion list, 
CREA-CPS (CREA-CPS@HEARN.BITNET) that focuses 
exclusively on creativity and creative problem solving.  
This service has a limited audience.  
Another group PSYCHE-D (LISTSERV@NKI.BITNET) 
was announced on April 17.  
PSYCHE-D is a refereed electronic journal dedicated to 
supporting the interdisciplinary exploration of the nature 
of consciousness and its relation  to the brain. PSYCHE 
publishes material relevant to that exploration from 
the perspectives afforded by the disciplines of 
Cognitive Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Neuroscience, 
Artificial Intelligence and Anthropology.  The focus of 
PSYCHE-D supports the study of creativity.  

While there may be other lists that discuss creativity and 
its related topics, there does not appear to be enough to 
provide adequate attention to this subjects. There is need 
to expand the opportunity to discuss creativity on a 
world-wide basis.  News groups like sci.psychology and 
sci.cognitive are too broad to capture the special nature 
of creative behavior.  News groups like rec.arts.(fine, dance, 
disney and so on) narrowly focus on creative production 
and not as much on the creative process.

In summary, a new news group called _sci.creativity_ is being 
proposed.Its focus will be on the creative process, 
creative problem solving, research in creativity, inventions, 
innovations and electronic brainstorming..  In addition, 
it will  support the creative efforts of both professionals 
and lay persons by sharing ideas, experiences, techniques, 
strategies, and research.

Discussion to be held on "news.groups"

CHARTER

misc.creativity (unmoderated) is a newsgroup aimed at promoting
creativity in all human endeavors.  Towards that end, participants
will be encouraged to suggest and discuss techniques and strategies
useful in enhancing creativity.  Worldwide electronic brainstorming
will be encouraged as a means of assisting individuals generate new
ideas and solutions to problems.  Information about resources (books,
electronic lists, conferences, courses and seminars, audio-visual
resources and software) will be distributed.

This newsgroup will provide an opportunity for "netizens" (Internet
Users) to share creative experiences in their personal and
professional lives. They will also have an opportunity to test new
ideas, innovations, inventions with others as a way to further develop
these thoughts.

Finally, this newsgroup will make available an additional source of
emotional, intellectual and social support often lacking in the lives
of creative people.  It will also enable creative individuals to
connect with other creative people all over the world, generating a
synergy that will generate innovative ideas urgently needed to solve
the vast problems facing all of humanity.


RATIONALE

Creativity and creative problem solving is a focus of study at many
colleges and university throughout the world.  Thousands of books and
articles have been written on creativity and many workshops, seminars
and conferences have creativity as a major theme.  Business and
industry spend millions of dollars each year in an attempt to increase
the creative potential of their employees.  Most important, given the
pressing problems plaguing humanity, the time has come to get serious
about encouraging creativity behavior in all people.

There is only one discussion list, CREA-CPS (listserv@HEARN.BITNET or
listserv@HEARN.nic.SURFnet.nl ) that focuses exclusively on creativity
and creative problem solving. There are only a few hundred people on
this list. While there may be other lists that discuss creativity and
its related topics,creativity does not have a focus on usenet news.
News groups like sci.psychology and sci.cognitive are too broad to
capture the special nature of creative behavior.  News groups like
rec.arts.(fine, dance, disney and so on) narrowly focus on creative
production and not as much on the creative process.  Moreover, there
are likely many people who might not want to join a list on creativity
but would like to monitor the subject on usenet news.

SUMMARY

Overall, there is need to expand the opportunity to deliberate on
creativity on a world-wide basis.  The newsgroup misc.creativity
is a major opportunity to discuss and promote creativity on the Internet.
