I would like to call together a discussion for the creation of
a new newgroup, tentatively called "soc.culture.malaysia"

The proposed group is unmoderated. That is, all who wish to join
may freely do so.

Proposed CHARTER for the proposed group "soc.culture.malaysia" -

   The proposed group, soc.culture.malaysia, is intended for
   the discussion of all topics pertaining to Malaysia, including
   but not limited to: culture, national politics, foreign diplomacy,
   economy, peoples, and land.


Why I feel this newsgroup should be created -

1) The current newsgroup in which most discussion of Malaysia
   occurs is "soc.culture.asean". It seems that most of the
   discussion in this group as a whole pertains to either
   Malaysia or Singapore (which perhaps should have a group) 
   rather than pertaining to ASEAN. This strongly hints that
   a separate group should be created for discussion of Malaysia.

2) Most of the larger countries in Southeast Asia are already represented
   by newsgroups, including:

   soc.culture.filipino
   soc.culture.thai
   soc.culture.vietnamese
   alt.culture.indonesia

   as well as others nearby -

   soc.culture.australia
   soc.culture.bangladesh
   soc.culture.china
   soc.culture.hongkong
   soc.culture.new-zealand 

3) soc.culture.asean, as mentioned in #1 above, no longer has much
   talk about ASEAN as a whole, suggesting the group is no longer
   fulfilling its intended purpose. Perhaps it should be dissolved
   or renamed with a new charter. Anyhow, it now seems an apropriate
   time for soc.culture.malaysia to be created.

This is the beginning of the second week of RFD - Request for Discussion
for the creation of ** soc.culture.malaysia **. THIS IS NOT A VOTE. I
included an explanation at the end of this message of the process for
creating a new newsgoup. We have 3 weeks left before we can begin
voting. What we need to do now is to keep talking about it so that most
people agree on the name of the group, its charter, and whether or not
it will be moderated (Censored ;-)

Also, please note that discussion for this group is redirected to the
newsgroup "news.groups" so when anyone replies to this message their
reply will go to that group. This is necessary as part of the rules
for creating new newsgroups. So please check out the discussions there.

I would like to thank all so far who have supported this idea. If all
remains like this, we will almost certainly have a new newsgroup! 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is an official RFD - Request for Discussion for the creating of
a new newsgroup.

The proposed group is to be called "soc.culture.malaysia"

The proposed group is unmoderated. That is, all who wish to join
may freely do so.

Proposed CHARTER for the proposed group "soc.culture.malaysia" -

   The proposed group, soc.culture.malaysia, is intended for
   the discussion of all topics pertaining to Malaysia, including
   but not limited to: culture, national politics, foreign diplomacy,
   economy, peoples, and land.


Why I feel this newsgroup should be created -

1) The current newsgroup in which most discussion of Malaysia
   occurs is "soc.culture.asean". It seems that most of the
   discussion in this group as a whole pertains to either
   Malaysia or Singapore (which perhaps should have a group) 
   rather than pertaining to ASEAN. This strongly hints that
   a separate group should be created for discussion of Malaysia.

2) Most of the larger countries in Southeast Asia are already represented
   by newsgroups, including:

   soc.culture.filipino
   soc.culture.thai
   soc.culture.vietnamese
   alt.culture.indonesia

   as well as others nearby -

   soc.culture.australia
   soc.culture.bangladesh
   soc.culture.china
   soc.culture.hongkong
   soc.culture.new-zealand 

3) soc.culture.asean, as mentioned in #1 above, no longer has much

   fulfilling its intended purpose. Perhaps it should be dissolved
   or renamed with a new charter. Anyhow, it now seems an apropriate
   time for soc.culture.malaysia to be created.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules for creating new newsgroups :

Many people have asked how to create this group, I apologize for
not explaining it right away.           

I have already volunteered to manage this process, which was
started when I made my first post.

The first step is to make an official "RFD soc.culture.malaysia"
posting to news.announce.newgroups and also cross-posted to any
other relevant newsgroups. Then what must happen is that for 30
days people on USENET must discuss, talk, argue, about if they 
think it is a good idea to have this group. They also must generally
agree on the purpose of the group and whether it should be moderated
or free for everyone.

This first step I already started with my original post. I will send
that post again after 1 week and every week (with changes that people
agree on) until the discussion period ends after 30 days.

Then the next step is the formal call for vote "CFV soc.culture.malaysia"
in which everyone who reads usenet may mail a vote "yes" or "no" if
they like the current proposal. The voting lasts for 3-4 weeks. If at
least 2/3 of the votes are "yes" and 100 more "yes" votes than "no" votes
exist, then the soc.culture.malaysia will be officially created (if there
are no problems with the voting process). Otherwise we must wait another
6 months if there are not enough votes before we can try again.

With good luck and everything goes well, we can have a soc.culture.malaysia
in 2 months. It will not come sooner.

Wish us luck!!  :)
