From [email protected] Sun Mar 14 22:14:54 1999 Path: news.isc.org!bounce-back From: [email protected] (David Kinny) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.ai Subject: RFD: moderate comp.ai Followup-To: news.groups Message-ID: <[email protected]> Approved: [email protected] Archive-Name: comp.ai Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 06:09:04 GMT Lines: 90 Xref: news.isc.org news.announce.newgroups:10926 news.groups:307759 comp.ai:55357                       REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)           moderated group comp.ai (moderates existing group)  This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the moderation of the world-wide Usenet newsgroup comp.ai.  This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time.  Procedural details are below.  Newsgroup line: comp.ai			Artificial Intelligence. (Moderated)  RATIONALE: comp.ai  Comp.ai is a Usenet group which has existed for over 10 years whose subject is Artificial Intelligence.  The group has several specialized subgroups including .alife, .fuzzy, .games, .genetic, .neural-nets and .philosophy.  With the growth of Usenet in recent years comp.ai has suffered from an excess of off-topic posting and inappropriate cross-posting.  The technical content is now very low, with few experienced researchers or practitioners contributing to the group. FAQ's have not been posted or maintained for some time.  Recent discussion in the group and responses to a survey have shown that there is substantial support among the current readership for moderating the group to eliminate off-topic and inflammatory posts and provide a more attractive forum for informed and thoughtful posting, so increasing the usefulness of the group to all of its audience.  CHARTER: comp.ai  Comp.ai is a moderated forum for announcements, reports, enquiries and discussions about the theory, practice, history and state-of-the-art of Artificial Intelligence.  Its scope is AI in general, but it is not intended to be a forum for postings concerning areas of AI for which specialized subgroups exist, unless they have a clear wider relevance. Announcements of conferences, books, other publications, researches, applications, educational programs, and other happenings are relevant, as are those of AI positions available and non-commercial AI software.  Moderation policies:  Postings consistent with this charter are welcomed.  Binary postings, personal attacks, vulgarity, and postings of a purely commercial nature will not be accepted, nor will those with an excessive ratio of quoted to new material or misleading headings.  Posters of frequently asked questions may instead be directed to relevant resources.  The purpose of moderation is to improve the quality, relevance and readability of content, and the value of the group to its current and future readership.  The moderators will work to achieve this purpose, and undertake to apply the moderation policies fairly and impartially.  END CHARTER.  MODERATOR INFO: comp.ai  Moderator:  David Kinny <[email protected]>  As is usual, a single moderator has been nominated, but moderation is expected to be largely automated, based on a whitelist, with human vetting of posts from unknown sources carried out collaboratively by a world-wide group.  Anyone who wants to contribute to that effort or in other ways should email the proposed moderator.  END MODERATOR INFO.  PROCEDURE:  This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes.  In this phase of the process, any potential problems with the proposed newsgroups should be raised and resolved.  The discussion period will continue for a minimum of 21 days (starting from when the first RFD for this proposal is posted to news.announce.newgroups), after which a Call For Votes (CFV) may be posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion warrants it.  Please do not attempt to vote until this happens.  All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups.  This RFD attempts to comply fully with the Usenet newsgroup creation guidelines outlined in "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" and "How to Format and Submit a New Group Proposal".  Please refer to these documents (available in news.announce.newgroups) if you have any questions about the process.  DISTRIBUTION:  This RFD has been posted to the following newsgroups:    news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, comp.ai  Proponent: David Kinny <[email protected]>  From [email protected] Thu Apr  8 05:45:07 1999 Path: news.isc.org!bounce-back From: Neil Crellin <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.ai Subject: CFV: moderate comp.ai Followup-To: poster Message-ID: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> Organization: Usenet Volunteer Votetakers Approved: [email protected] Expires: 30 Apr 1999 00:00:00 GMT Archive-Name: comp.ai Date: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 12:33:18 GMT Lines: 157 Xref: news.isc.org news.announce.newgroups:10983 news.groups:311537 comp.ai:55704                       FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)           moderated group comp.ai (moderates existing group)  This CFV is to be distributed only by the votetaker.

MODERATOR INFO: comp.ai  Moderator: David Kinny <[email protected]> Administrative contact address: [email protected] Article submission address: [email protected]  END MODERATOR INFO.  IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES: READ THIS BEFORE VOTING  The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest in reading the proposed newsgroup, and soliciting votes from uninterested parties defeats this purpose.  Do *not* distribute this CFV;  instead, direct people to the official CFV as posted to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing specific voting instructions or pre-marked copies of this CFV is considered vote fraud.  This is a public vote:  All email addresses, names and votes will be listed in the final RESULT post.  The name used may be either a real name or an established Usenet handle.  At most one vote is allowed per person or per account.  Duplicate votes will be resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote.  Voters must mail their ballots directly to the votetaker.  Anonymous, forwarded, or proxy votes are not valid, nor are votes mailed from WWW/HTML/CGI forms (which should not exist).  Votes from nonexistent accounts are also invalid, and the votetaker will reject any "munged" address he cannot decipher immediately.  Please direct any questions to the votetaker at <[email protected]>  HOW TO VOTE:  Extract the ballot from the CFV by deleting everything before and after the "BEGINNING OF BALLOT" and "END OF BALLOT" lines.  Don't worry about the spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your reply inserts.  Please, DO NOT send the entire CFV back to me!  Fill in the ballot as shown below.  Please provide your REAL NAME and indicate your desired vote in the appropriate locations inside the ballot.  Examples of how to properly indicate your vote:    [ YES     ]  example.yes.vote   [ NO      ]  example.no.vote   [ ABSTAIN ]  example.abstention   [ CANCEL  ]  example.cancellation  DO NOT modify, alter or delete any information in this ballot! If you do, the voting software will probably reject your ballot.  When finished, MAIL the ballot to: < [email protected] > Just "replying" to this message should work, but check the "To:" line.  If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker about the problem.  You are responsible for reading your ack and making sure your vote is registered correctly.  If these instructions are unclear, please consult the Introduction to Usenet Voting or the Usenet Voting FAQ at http://www.stanford.edu/~neilc/uvv.  ======== BEGINNING OF BALLOT: Delete everything before this line ======= .----------------------------------------------------------------------- | 1ST CALL FOR VOTES: comp.ai | Official Usenet Voting Ballot  (Do not remove this line!) |----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Please provide your real name, or your vote may be rejected.
