The purposes of this group include to alleviate the volume of traffic on the VideoPhone mailing list, to provide a central source of information for Video Conference Information and to minimize questions about Video Conferencing on other groups such as comp.dcom.comp.dcom.isdn and comp.dcom.telecom.tech. This is a Request for Discussion and is not a Call for Votes. The discussion will last 3-4 weeks from this date (Wednesday 1 Mar., 1995). Any comments such as "I vote yes for comp.dcom.videoconf" will be treated only as a positive reaction to the proposed charter and not as a yes vote on the creation of the group. If sufficient interest isdemonstrated during the discussion period, a formal CFV will be issued along with instruction on how to cast your vote. This RFD has been posted in accordance with the Guidelines for Newsgroup Creation. Its language is based on previously submitted RFDs. The RFD is being cross-posted to the following relevant news groups: news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, comp.dcom.telecom.tech, comp.dcom.isdn, alt.dcom.telecom uk.telecom Followups to this RFD are to be posted only to news.groups, where the actual discussion is to take place. PROPOSED CHARTER The comp.dcom.videoconf newsgroup will be open to discussion on Video Conference Technology and it's applications. Specific topics may include, but are not necessarily limited to: Vendor Experiences Desktop Video Dialup VS Dedicated Circuit Room Design PROCEDURE Please post any response to this message to NEWS.GROUPS. Ifyou use the followup feature on your newsreader this should happen automatically. It is important to understand that all discussions about the merits of this proposal should occur on news.groups. FUTURE CALL FOR VOTES After a discussion period of 21-30 days, unless the discussion indicates a need to resubmit a new RFD, there will be a Call For Votes (CFV) posted to the same groups as this RFD. The voting period will be at least 21 days. If the group passes by receiving 100 more YES votesthan NO votes and (at least) twice as many YES votes as NO votes, it will be created.
