Moderator:          Bob Curtis <[email protected]> Advisory Committee: (available collectively as [email protected])                     Bob Treumann <[email protected]>                     Rich Weland <[email protected]>                     Randy Coulman <[email protected]>                     Dave Crowson <[email protected]>                     John Hopkins <[email protected]>                     L. Hillman <[email protected]>                     Bill Codding <[email protected]> Proposed by:        Bob Curtis <[email protected]>  -------- Purpose  This group is meant to provide an organized forum for the discussion and dissemination of information specifically relating to the business of consulting, and proposed for the reasons stated below.   1) Subscribers of alt.computer.consultants have become concerned with the recent flood of off-topic postings. Many network "newbies"  have posted in the group, asking for advise on how to "fix"  their broken computers. Frequent off-topic posts have also included solicitations for employment, and job offers. (which are more appropriate to the alt.jobs hierarchies).  This new moderated group is intended to open the discussions to  consultants of all fields, and discourage off-topic posts (a problem which will continue to plague alt.computer.consultants)  2) The misc hierarchy is carried by more feeds than is the alt hierarchy. By moving to this hierarchy, we hope to increase the number and scope of appropriate posts which our newsgroup receives.   3) As group traffic increases, other subgroups may be considered, including (but not limited to) sub-groups for other classifications of consulting such as:     misc.business.consulting.marketplace (job seekers and brokers)   misc.business.consulting.computers (field specific)   misc.business.consulting.management (field specific)   etc....  -------- Charter   As stated earlier, this group will specifically be a forum for those discussions concerning the business of consulting. More specifically, this refers to matters such as tax rulings, clarification of accounting treatments, techniques for client management, discussions of ethics, advice for beginning consultants, contract provisions, etc. This should not be taken to totally exclude technical issues from being raised, when they are framed in the context of the business of consulting.   This newsgroup would discourage the posting of questions about solving computer specific hardware or software problems, as there are many more appropriate groups in which to post such questions.   -------- The Function of the Moderator and Advisory Committee  This newsgroup shall have an active moderator, with an advisory committee (co-moderators).  It shall be the responsibility of the active moderator to screen postings to the newsgroup, and eliminate those which are:   1) Articles that have no connection to business of consulting     (i.e. "How do I fix my Computer") 2) Any message of a direct and commercial nature. This includes     postings offering both commercial products, and services.  The active moderator shall not screen postings for their intellectual content or argument, nor for their political or ideological content (within the scope of consulting issues).   All articles that are rejected will be sent back to the contributor with a short message explaining the reason for rejection.  Such rejections may be appealed as outlined below.   The advisory committee serve in a back-up capacity, so as to insure continuity during either a temporary or permanent change in the status of the active moderator.  In addition, this committee will have the responsibility (along with the active moderator) for voting on appeals of rejected posts, the appointment of new advisors, and the possible removal of a current advisor as outlined below.   -------- Appeal of a Rejected Post  If a contributor whose post has been rejected wishes to appeal this action, he may forward this appeal and the post in question to the advise committee at [email protected] for a vote. If the majority of voting advisors agrees to overrule the rejection, the article will be sent to the newsgroup. If the post is again rejected, the person appealing the rejection will be sent a summary of the opinions of the advisors.   -------- Appointment of New Advisors  New advisors will be appointed as necessary through the nomination of an individual by the other advisors. The appointment will require a unanimous vote of all voting advisors to pass.   -------- Removal of an Advisor / Re-assignment of Moderator  An advisor may be removed or the moderation may be re-assigned for the  following reasons:   1) failure to perform the outlined duties of the position 2) a pattern of biased or discriminatory manipulation of postings.   Such removal will be made by the formal vote of all participating advisors. A 2/3rds vote in favor of such action will be required for removal.   -------- FAQ  The group which designed alt.computer.consultant's original FAQ (ACCFAQ list) will continue their responsibility for the development and posting  of a frequently asked question (FAQ) file for the new group.   -------- This RFD is being posted to the following Newsgroups:  news.announce.newgroups news.groups alt.computer.consultants misc.entrepreneurs  All Follow-ups should be directed to: news.groups  --------  Author's note  This is the first Request For Discussion for this newsgroup.  A request for discussion takes no less than 21 days from the time it is first posted to news.announce.newgroups. We will issue at least one updated RFD before that period expires, and possibly more if the proposal changes dramatically. If this RFD has not prompted critical debate, we hope to issue a Call For Votes at the end of the required 21-28 day period.   Please note that all discussions should be held in, or cross-posted to news.groups.   --  Bob Curtis <[email protected]>  From [email protected] Fri Feb 24 18:28:56 1995 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: Bob Curtis <[email protected]> Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,alt.computer.consultants,misc.entrepreneurs Subject: 2nd RFD: misc.business.consulting Followup-To: news.groups Date: 21 Feb 1995 16:47:51 -0500 Organization: gate.net Lines: 86 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: gs2.UU.NET news.announce.newgroups:6325 news.groups:135839 alt.computer.consultants:13554 misc.entrepreneurs:35317  There has been a great deal of discussion in the first RFD over the necessity of moderation for the new group misc.business.consulting.

It is similar in most details to the first RFD, posted 1/7/95. Our 2nd RFD - for an unmoderated group (and it's accompanying Straw poll) showed that this group will have much broader support as a moderated forum. This proposal will be the final one for this new group, and a CFV will be issued in about a week for this group in it's _moderated_ form.

Moderator:           Bob Curtis <[email protected]> Submissions address: <[email protected]> Contact address:     <[email protected]>  MOTIVATION  The only existing consultant's group (alt.computer.consultants) has been plagued since it's conception with off-topic posts - by newbies asking for help "fixing" their computers, and adverts which would be more appropriate in the *.jobs hierarchies. This new moderated group is intended to provide an alternative to acc, where consultants from _all_ fields can discuss the business issues pertinent to consulting without sorting through the "noise" of off-topic posts. We have discussed the issue of moderation in two separate RFD's, and followed with a Straw poll. During these discussions, the readers of affected groups have expressed a much broader support for a moderated group than unmoderated. We hope to enjoy a wider propagation with this new group, thereby increasing both the number and scope of appropriate posts.  HOW TO VOTE  Send MAIL to:   [email protected] Just Replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing list.  Your mail message should contain one of the following statements:       I vote YES on misc.business.consulting       I vote NO on misc.business.consulting       I vote ABSTAIN on misc.business.consulting       I CANCEL my vote on misc.business.consulting  Neither ABSTAIN nor CANCEL messages are counted as votes; they serve only to cancel any previous vote. Abstentions are noted in the final vote list, whereas CANCEL removes your vote from that list entirely. (This is the only difference between the two.)  Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program.  The votetaker will respond to your received ballots with a personal acknowledge- ment by mail - if you do not receive one within several days, try again. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.  If you later change your mind you may vote again; only your last valid vote will count.  Standard Guidelines for voting apply: no more than one vote per person, no more than one vote per account. If you attempt multiple votes or other vote fraud, all your votes may be canceled and your name published.  The complete vote list will be posted with the vote result, including how each person voted. Note that Usenet votes are not done by secret ballot.  There will then be a five-day period during which the published vote list may be corrected and any irregularities addressed. The requirements for group creation are 100 more YES votes than NO votes, and 2/3 of all counted votes being YES.

Newsgroups Line misc.business.consulting	The business of consulting. (Moderated)  IRREGULARITY  One forged vote was received.  It cancelled someone else's vote.  I contacted the System Administrator of the system the vote was received >from (In Hawaii), and asked him to check is logs.  He told me the forgery was received from a site in Lawrenceville, NJ.  I tried to contact the system administrator of that system, and they did not respond.  I carefully examined all the votes that were vote changes (5 or so), and any votes that came from the site in NJ (1 vote).  I sent mail to the voter from that site, confirming their vote.  The 1 forged vote was VOID'ed, and the orignal vote was restored. No biggie, just an hour or two of work on my part.  CHARTER  Misc.business.consulting is a forum for discussions concerning the business issues of consulting. More specifically, this refers to matters such as tax rulings, clarification of accounting treatments, techniques for client management, discussions of ethics, advice for beginning consultants, contract provisions, etc. This should not be taken to totally exclude technical issues from being raised, when they are framed in the context of the business of consulting.  This newsgroup will discourage the posting of questions about solving computer-specific hardware or software problems, as there are many more appropriate groups in which to post such questions. Posts concerning solicitations for employment or job offers (which are more appropriate to the *.jobs hierarchies) will also be discouraged.
