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 
<tale@uunet.uu.net>).

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).

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.

WHY THIS CFV SHOULD PASS:

The newsgroup misc.entrepreneurs has been overrun by advertising for
some time, but moderating that newsgroup raises issues of censorship.
It seems accomodating to many users that a new newsgroup be created,
side by side with misc.entrepreneurs, that will offer moderated
discussion free from advertising of the nature that has made
misc.entrepreneurs nearly unreadable.
