RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.politics

A specific newsgroup is needed for the heated discussions on politics,
politicians, political parties.

Politics is a sensitive issue. Any attempt to moderate a politics newsgroup
can very well be perceived as an attempt to silence a certain viewpoint.
The proposal calls for unmoderated politics, so no one has any basis to
think the moderators will censor them out or their favorite political party.
Not to mention, politics is one of the most debated topic on the current
soc.culture.pakistan, hence the suggestion for a separate newsgroup on
this topic.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.politics

Pakistan is a democratic country. The political system is
Parliamentary.  The chief executive is the Prime Minister holding a
majority support in National assembly. The head of the state is the

Governor.  The number of political parties exceeds 10. There are

Although Muslims in Pakistan are in majority, the religous discussions are
not just on 'Islam' if they were, then the other three *.religion.islam
newsgroups would be more than enough. The other religions in Pakistan are:
Christianity, Hindism, Sikhs, Parsi & many more. The minority religions
have their communities, school systems, reserved seats in the parliament.
Unfortunately, minorities religious issues, and especially, religious issues
of Pakistanis while coexistence & daily interactions with each others are
commonly overshadowed by the stereotypical assumptions of all Pakistanis
as Muslims. This newsgroups would add a unique diversity in the scp.*
hierarchy as well as the *religion.* forums on usenet in general. The set of
issues & discussions are very much unique to Pakistan.  Despite the fact
that sri,ari and uri exist, the discussion on Islam does take place on SCP.
The reason, the discussions are in context of Pakistani culture. The
scp.religion, is for discussion of all religions in Pakistan, not just Islam.
In addition, the newsgroup gives voice to religious minorities. The
religous discussion traffic clearly deserves a separate newsgroup of its own.


CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.religion

Pakistan is a predominately Muslim but a number of citizens believe in
other faiths.  Although minority, they have special seats in the
parliament and separate ministry at Federal Level. Pakistan also has a
Muslim Parliament (Shu'ra) and parallel Islamic Justice system (courts
& laws). Recently, there have been calls of enforcement and
implementation of Islamic Systems & Laws (E.g.  Malakand Division).
This newsgroup is for discussions on religion, as related to Pakistan.

END CHARTER.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.sports

This forum is needed for discussion of selection & performance of
National sports teams, world sports events participated by Pakistan,
scores & rankings of Pakistani athletes.

Most common sports in Pakistan are: Hockey, Cricket, Squash, Kabadi, Boxing,
Tennis, swimming, Football etc.  The proposal is for one single newsgroup to
discuss all Pakistan related sports, discussions of local talents, summer camps,
university camps, local HBL-11 vs UBL-11 matchs for instant are all directly
related to Pakistan. None of them make sense on global rec.sport.*.pakistan
array of newsgroups.

Sports being one of the most favorite topic of discussion on soc.culture.pakistan
it definitely needs a separate newsgroup under the hierarchy.


CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.sports

Pakistan hold world championships in Squash, Hockey and Cricket. Much
of which goes unnoticed or undiscussed.  Pakistanis follow all the
matches and world tournaments in sports, specifically the above three.
The commentary, critique, discussions & announcements on upcoming
world & local events, availability of sports equipment, coaches, clubs
where favorite Pakistani sports may be played and much more requires a
separate newsgroup of its own. This newsgroup will serve that purpose.

END CHARTER.

Votetaker: Jan Isley 

RATIONALE: all groups

The reorganization is being proposed to better address the diversity
of subjects and the needs of the readers which currently not being
served by unmoderated soc.culture.pakistan newsgroup.

The traffic on the unmoderated newsgroup soc.culture.pakistan has been
increasing steadily.  It has reached the point where any meaningful
discussion on any topic related to Pakistan is lost in the high
traffic & noise. Thus rendering the newsgroup inoperable & unusable
for serious readership. This situation is also driving serious
readership away from the newsgroup.  Current proposal is to rectify
this situation by proposing to reorganize the newsgroup into to a
number of moderated & unmoderated newsgroup based upon most common
threads discussed.

In addition to the current traffic of over 200+ messages per day. In the
next few months, more Usenet readers are coming on-line from Pakistan,
estimated 100,000+.

The current proposal is the essence of discussions held independently
by at least three separate groups of scp readers.

Moderation: To keep out irrelevant cross-posting, redirect personal
flame-wars to e-mail, and to boot out the constant flame-baits The moderation
will keep the discussion civilized, it will not be censorship. The current
moderators volunteers

Highlights:	- soc.culture.pakistan 		NO CHANGE

		- Add 3 moderated newsgroups:

			soc.culture.pakistan.education
			soc.culture.pakistan.history
			soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

		- Add 3 unmoderated newsgroups:

			soc.culture.pakistan.politics
			soc.culture.pakistan.religion
			soc.culture.pakistan.sports

		- Each proposed newsgroup is voted upon individually.

The proposed hierarchy is intented to provide a foundation for
subgroups under the hierarchy. The proposed subgroups will focus on
specific topics on Pakistan and Pakistani culture.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.education

A place for educators, professors and professional to discuss the
education systems in Pakistan.

There are several mailing lists where Pakistan education is discussed,
major ones, EML & PNS-L. EML alone has 100 letters per week.  The audience
& participation will be enhanced by leaps & bounds with a newsgroup on
this subject. The moderation is simply intended for keeping the discussion
relevant. Most of those participating are educators & professors or
professionals. The subject & its implications, implementations &
interpretations are vast enough to justify a separate noise free
newsgroup all by itself.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.history

A forum for historians and anyone else interested to discuss & study
the events which led to creation of Pakistan.

If we do not create a newsgroup on history, our history will not get the
exposure it deserves. How will scholars from Berkeley (where a new chair
on Pakistan studies has been created) be able to GLEAN information and do
research on our nation? If we do not provide a forum to COUNTER our points on
our history, How do we expect Americans and other nationalities to put up
with the noise on the regular newsgroup?

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

For general discussions, collaborating of ideas, comments on issues directly
related to Pakistan in a non-volatile environment. Moderation is meant
to keep out personal attacks, non-relevant postings.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.politics

A specific newsgroup is needed for the heated discussions on politics,
politicians, political parties.

Politics is a sensitive issue. Any attempt to moderate a politics newsgroup
can very well be perceived as an attempt to silence a certain viewpoint.
The proposal calls for unmoderated politics, so no one has any basis to
think the moderators will censor them out or their favorite political party.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.religion

Vivid discussions  on  religious  beliefs,  the  implementation  Islamic
system (nizam) will find its ways in this newsgroup.

Although Muslims in Pakistan are in majority, the religious discussions are
not just on 'Islam' if they were, then the other three *.religion.islam

CHARTER: all groups

This is a reorganization for newsgroup soc.culture.pakistan, creating
soc.culture.pakistan.* hierarchy.

Moderation policies for all three moderated newsgroups:

	Namely,	soc.culture.pakistan.education

will be moderated by one group of moderators.  The moderators
submission address & multiple moderation tools are in the process of
being setup.

The moderation is solely for 1.  keeping the discussion relevant to
the topics 2.  Keeping personal comments out.  No test, commercial or
anonymous postings will be accepted.  It is further assumed the
postings are legible & in standard Usenet format (80 characters in
length, less than 50% quoted material etc).

other moderators if 1. They have no valid email address 2. Have been
inactive for over six months.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.education

Pakistan is a fast developing nation.  Unfortunately, the literacy
rate is among the poorest nations. The Government allocates less than
1% of its budget for education. It is now basically up to the
Pakistanis to help the fellow citizens. A good solid efforts have
already culminated in the form of mushrooming private colleges &
universities. The lacking are the Government policies, funding, good
syllabus, accreditation, libraries, text books & human resources.
This newsgroup is intended to foster discussions & to bring together
those who may be willing to help in. Moderation is needed to keep the
discussions specific to the topic & to cut out any noise from this
serious newsgroup.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.politics

Pakistan is a democratic country. The political system is
Parliamentary.  The chief executive is the Prime Minister holding a
majority support in National assembly. The head of the state is the
President. Each province has a Provincial Assembly, Chief Minister &
Governor.  The number of political parties exceeds 10. There are
constant coalitions & splitting among political parties, hence
political discussions are very lively.  This newsgroup is reserved for
those taking part in discussions related to any aspect of political
system of Pakistan.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.religion

Pakistan is a predominately Muslim but a number of citizens believe in
other faiths.  Although minority, they have special seats in the
parliament and separate ministry at Federal Level. Pakistan also has a
Muslim Parliament (Shu'ra) and parallel Islamic Justice system (courts
& laws). Recently, there have been calls of enforcement and
implementation of Islamic Systems & Laws (E.g.  Malakand Division).
This newsgroup is for discussions on religion, as related to Pakistan.

END CHARTER.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.sports

Pakistan holds world championships in Squash, Hockey and Cricket. Much
of which goes unnoticed or undiscussed.  Pakistanis follow all the
matches and world tournaments in sports, specifically the above three.
The commentary, critique, discussions & announcements on upcoming
world & local events, availability of sports equipment, coaches, clubs
where favorite Pakistani sports may be played and much more requires a
separate newsgroup of its own. This newsgroup will serve that purpose.

In this votetaker's opinion, serious irregularities began before this
vote even started when the proponent demanded that the votetaker should
not be allowed to comment on the results of the vote.  Considerable
effort was spent stuffing the ballot box during this vote.  All parties
querried about this, to include system administrators of sites where
ballots were quite obviously machine generated, deny any knowledge of,
or participation in any such behavior.  Therefore, the whole voting
list is presented here for public inspection.

RATIONALE: all groups

The reorganization is being proposed to better address the diversity
of subjects and the needs of the readers which currently not being
served by unmoderated soc.culture.pakistan newsgroup.

The traffic on the unmoderated newsgroup soc.culture.pakistan has been
increasing steadily.  It has reached the point where any meaningful
discussion on any topic related to Pakistan is lost in the high
traffic & noise. Thus rendering the newsgroup inoperable & unusable
for serious readership. This situation is also driving serious
readership away from the newsgroup.  Current proposal is to rectify
this situation by proposing to reorganize the newsgroup into to a
number of moderated & unmoderated newsgroup based upon most common
threads discussed.

In addition to the current traffic of over 200+ messages per day. In the
next few months, more Usenet readers are coming on-line from Pakistan,
estimated 100,000+.

The current proposal is the essence of discussions held independently
by at least three separate groups of scp readers.

Moderation: To keep out irrelevant cross-posting, redirect personal
flame-wars to e-mail, and to boot out the constant flame-baits The moderation
will keep the discussion civilized, it will not be censorship. The current
moderators volunteers

Highlights:     - soc.culture.pakistan          NO CHANGE

                - Add 3 moderated newsgroups:

                        soc.culture.pakistan.education
                        soc.culture.pakistan.history
                        soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

                - Add 3 unmoderated newsgroups:

                        soc.culture.pakistan.politics
                        soc.culture.pakistan.religion
                        soc.culture.pakistan.sports

                - Each proposed newsgroup is voted upon individually.

The proposed hierarchy is intented to provide a foundation for
subgroups under the hierarchy. The proposed subgroups will focus on
specific topics on Pakistan and Pakistani culture.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.education

A place for educators, professors and professional to discuss the
education systems in Pakistan.

There are several mailing lists where Pakistan education is discussed,
major ones, EML & PNS-L. EML alone has 100 letters per week.  The audience
& participation will be enhanced by leaps & bounds with a newsgroup on
this subject. The moderation is simply intended for keeping the discussion
relevant. Most of those participating are educators & professors or
professionals. The subject & its implications, implementations &
interpretations are vast enough to justify a separate noise free
newsgroup all by itself.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.history

A forum for historians and anyone else interested to discuss & study
the events which led to creation of Pakistan.

If we do not create a newsgroup on history, our history will not get the
exposure it deserves. How will scholars from Berkeley (where a new chair
on Pakistan studies has been created) be able to GLEAN information and do
research on our nation? If we do not provide a forum to COUNTER our points on
our history, How do we expect Americans and other nationalities to put up
with the noise on the regular newsgroup?

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

For general discussions, collaborating of ideas, comments on issues directly
related to Pakistan in a non-volatile environment. Moderation is meant
to keep out personal attacks, non-relevant postings.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.politics

A specific newsgroup is needed for the heated discussions on politics,
politicians, political parties.

Politics is a sensitive issue. Any attempt to moderate a politics newsgroup
can very well be perceived as an attempt to silence a certain viewpoint.
The proposal calls for unmoderated politics, so no one has any basis to
think the moderators will censor them out or their favorite political party.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.religion

Vivid discussions  on  religious  beliefs,  the  implementation  Islamic
system (nizam) will find its ways in this newsgroup.

Although Muslims in Pakistan are in majority, the religious discussions are
not just on 'Islam' if they were, then the other three *.religion.islam
newsgroups would be more than enough. The other religions in Pakistan are:
Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhs, Parsi & many more. The minority religions
have their communities, school systems, reserved seats in the parliament.
Unfortunately, minorities religious issues, and especially, religious issues
of Pakistanis while coexistence & daily interactions with each others are
commonly overshadowed by the stereotypical assumptions of all Pakistanis
as Muslims. This newsgroups would add a unique diversity in the scp.*
hierarchy as well as the *religion.* forums on Usenet in general. The set of
issues & discussions are very much unique to Pakistan.  Despite the fact
that sri,ari and uri exist, the discussion on Islam does take place on SCP.
The reason, the discussions are in context of Pakistani culture. The
scp.religion, is for discussion of all religions in Pakistan, not just Islam.
In addition, the newsgroup gives voice to religious minorities.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.sports

This forum is needed for discussion of selection & performance of
National sports teams, world sports events participated by Pakistan,
scores & rankings of Pakistani athletes.

Most common sports in Pakistan are: Hockey, Cricket, Squash, Kabadi,
Boxing, Tennis, swimming, Football etc.  The proposal is for one single
newsgroup to discuss all Pakistan related sports, discussions of local
talents, summer camps, university camps, local HBL-11 vs UBL-11 matches
for instant are all directly related to Pakistan. None of them make
sense on global rec.sport.*.pakistan array of newsgroups.

CHARTER: all groups

This is a reorganization for newsgroup soc.culture.pakistan, creating
soc.culture.pakistan.* hierarchy.

Moderation policies for all three moderated newsgroups:

        Namely, soc.culture.pakistan.education
                soc.culture.pakistan.history
                soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

The newsgroups in soc.culture.pakistan.hierarchy slated for moderation
will be moderated by one group of moderators.  The moderators
submission address & multiple moderation tools are in the process of
being setup.

The moderation is solely for 1.  keeping the discussion relevant to
the topics 2.  Keeping personal comments out.  No test, commercial or
anonymous postings will be accepted.  It is further assumed the
postings are legible & in standard Usenet format (80 characters in
length, less than 50% quoted material etc).

The moderators may resign at their own will or by unanimous vote of
other moderators if 1. They have no valid email address 2. Have been
inactive for over six months.

Additional moderators may be added by unanimous vote of active
moderators.

 = ADDITIONS from RFD: Moderators reserve the right to amend the charter
        after unanimously agreement. All rejection notices will be
        mailed to the sender notifying the reason with cc: copies to
        all active moderators & facilitators, no exceptions.

Facilitators for all three moderated newsgroups:

        Namely, soc.culture.pakistan.education
                soc.culture.pakistan.history
                soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

Advisors to moderators. Readers interested in advising moderators and
active in discussing moderation issues.  Unlike moderators
Facilitators will not have posting rights. Facilitators are nominated
by moderators by mutual agreement.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.education

Pakistan is a fast developing nation.  Unfortunately, the literacy
rate is among the poorest nations. The Government allocates less than
1% of its budget for education. It is now basically up to the
Pakistanis to help the fellow citizens. A good solid efforts have
already culminated in the form of mushrooming private colleges &
universities. The lacking are the Government policies, funding, good
syllabus, accreditation, libraries, text books & human resources.
This newsgroup is intended to foster discussions & to bring together
those who may be willing to help in. Moderation is needed to keep the
discussions specific to the topic & to cut out any noise from this
serious newsgroup.

After a careful review of the votes, the result of the proposal to
reorganize soc.culture.pakistan is being declared invalid.  The CFV
will be rerun as soon as possible.

This decision has been made because there is sufficient question about
what the result of the proposal would be in the absence of the many
problem votes that were received.  The neutral votetaker has done his
best to ascertain which votes were valid and which were unacceptable,
and in doing so comes up with a result which would fail all of the
individual parts of the proposal, a couple as narrowly as only five
votes.  Since it is possible that many, if not all, of the groups
would have passed if the votes of interested users were properly cast,
invalidating the vote gives the proponents of the new groups an
immediate chance to have the groups passed properly, without the vote
fraud that tainted this poll.

I very much regret the amount of time it has taken to come to this
point in the process.  The analysis was not easy, necessitated the
cooperation of many site administrators, and was interrupted by the
independent travel of both me and the votetaker.  The results of the
revote should be handled in a much faster fashion.  (Similarly, for
those who are interested in the final decision on the
soc.culture.indian.jammu-kashmir vote which ended two weeks ago, it
should be announced late this week.)

I hope that the many, many people whom Moin Ansari has encouraged to
send mail to me and anyone associated with the group creation process
(including mentors and votetakers who had nothing to do with the
proposal) will be participating in the revote.  I checked ten at
random and not a single one of them was from someone who had sent a
vote, valid or not.  If these people join with the people who
participated in the first go around, and the people who contributed to
the fraud in this vote keep their eagerness in check, we should have a
fairly meaningful result.

Finally, it must be noted that this is not some sort of special
treatment because the proposal is about Pakistanis, as some people
have said in their mail.  I do not feel that I have to make a
continuing defense for myself against baseless charges of bigotry, but
I want it explicitly known that this decision has not been made with
any bias regarding the content or users of the proposed new groups.  I
have said, on more than one occasion, that I was fine with the
proposal passing.  I did not send any mail criticizing the substance
of the proposal, to the proponents or anyone else, and I did not vote
against it.  My interest is in seeing a fair and meaningful vote
conducted.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM THE VOTETAKER

All votes from the itu.ch domain were invalidated.  Mail was sent to
postmaster requesting verification of the votes.  Evidence was
presented that is clear to me and other experienced mail
administrators that the bulk of the votes were probably artificially
generated.  Further, I received replies from some of my mailed vote
acknowledgments there that essentially read,

    What is an ack?
    Who are you and why are you sending me this mail?
    I don't know what you are talking about and I don't care.
    etc...

After several weeks I received a reply to my mail enquiry to ITU.  It
stated that all accounts were real and that it was not possible that
the vote mail was generated by a script.  I don't disagree with
whether the accounts are real, but with the notion that because they
are real it means that the addresses cannot have been used by other
parties to generate votes.  An inspection of the itu.ch votes
indicates beyond a reasonable doubt that many were not sent by the
individual voters.  Incidentally, this should not in any way be read
to denigrate ITU or to say that every itu.ch vote was certainly bogus.

In the ballot analysis, the invalidation of numeros votes sent by one
user using five addresses bears special mention.  Moin Ansari
, one of the proposed moderators, had three ballots
invalidated.  On being presented with evidence that he was involved in
an e-mail campaign and was distributing edited ballots, he responded
like so:

   There is nothing wrong with doing so
   Even though I am not doing it, I will stop if you insist

He was doing so.  I have evidence that he continued to do so after he
both denied doing so and also agreed to cease.  Further, he voted from
multiple accounts, using a variety of voter names in what to me is
clearly an attempt to get multiple votes counted.  Mr. Ansari is
either incapable of understanding the rules for newsgroup creation or
does not feel that he is bound by them.  Therefore, none of his votes
were counted.  Even if the "address barred from voting" votes are
included, the final pass/fail resolution would not change.

To Mr. Asim Mughal and other persons interested in this
reorganization, please accept my sincere apologies for any delay in
resolving this issue for which I am at fault.  In addition to the
numerous difficulties that I encountered while trying to verify the
votes, I had a very prolonged and severe battle with the flu and my
life was further interrupted by two short but otherwise unplanned
trips.

Please be assured that I have no illness or trip on my calender for
the next month. :) I have read soc.culture.pakistan from time to time
(looking for topics on Buddhism) and surly there is traffic enough to
warrant some reorganization and I will make every effort to produce
the results of the revote as soon as is possible.

Proponent: Asim Mughal 
Votetaker: Jan Isley 

RATIONALE: all groups

The reorganization is being proposed to better address the diversity
of subjects and the needs of the readers which currently not being
served by unmoderated soc.culture.pakistan newsgroup.

The traffic on the unmoderated newsgroup soc.culture.pakistan has been
increasing steadily.  It has reached the point where any meaningful
discussion on any topic related to Pakistan is lost in the high
traffic and noise. Not only is it high-traffic, but a large part of
the traffic is heavy cross-posting of topics unrelated to Pakistan,
and ongoing personal flame-wars what belong in e-mail.  Thus rendering
the newsgroup inoperable and unusable for serious readership.  This
situation is also driving serious readership away from the newsgroup.
Current proposal is to rectify this situation by proposing to
reorganize the newsgroup into to a number of moderated and unmoderated
newsgroup based upon specific topics of discussion.  These topics of
discussion are the largest threads of discussion on the current
soc.culture.pakistan and on some Pakistani mailing-list, and that's
why these specific topics were chosen at this time.

The current traffic of 200+ messages per day will increase
dramatically as more USENET readers come on-line from Pakistan itself
in the next few months.

The current proposal is the essence of discussions held independently
by at least three separate groups of scp readers.  They pooled their
initiatives into the current proposal to add several subgroups to the
soc.culture.pakistan hierarchy.

The proposed hierarchy is intended to provide a foundation for
sub-groups under the hierarchy.  The proposed subs-groups will focus
on specific popular topics on Pakistan and Pakistani culture.  This
provides medium to express and share ideas, in addition to learn from
other's experiences and knowledge.

Moderation: To keep out irrelevant cross-posting, redirect personal
flame-wars to e-mail, and to boot out the constant flame-baits.  The
moderation will keep the discussion civilized, it will not be
censorship.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.education

There are several mailing lists where Pakistan education is discussed,
major ones, EML and PNS-L.  EML alone has 100 letters per week.  The
audience and participation will be enhanced by leaps and bounds with a
newsgroup on this subject.  The moderation is simply intended for
keeping the discussion relevant.  Most of those participating are
educators and professors or professionals.  The subject and its
implications, implementations and interpretations are vast enough to
justify a separate noise free newsgroup all by itself.  The members on
the mailing lists have said they would participate in this newsgroup.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.history

This newsgroup is of academic nature.  Most participants are expected
to be historians and scholars.  The history of Pakistan has been one
of the popular topic on current soc.culture.pakistan.  Differing
interpretations, research and analysis of events and prominent
personalities which contributed in any towards the creation of
Pakistan do not have an appropriate existing newsgroup.  This
newsgroup will fill in the big gap.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

For general discussions, collaborating of ideas, comments on issues directly
related to Pakistan in a non-volatile environment.  Moderation is
meant to keep out personal attacks, non-relevant postings.  The
newsgroup soc.culture.pakistan is plagued with too much noise and
irrelevant postings.  It is impossible to initiate, engage in or carry
on any meaningful discussion.  This newsgroup will bring create the
long awaited alternative for the readers of newsgroup.  Currently
daily average in soc.culture.pakistan is 200+.
soc.culture.pakistan.moderated will be the moderated form of the
current soc.culture.pakistan.  soc.culture.pakistan will not be
affected and will continue to provide the unmoderated forum for those
oppose moderation.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.politics

Politics is a sensitive issue.  Any attempt to moderate a politics
newsgroup can very well be perceived as an attempt to silence a
certain viewpoint.  The proposal calls for unmoderated politics, so no
one has any basis to think the moderators will censor them out or
their favorite political party.  Not to mention, politics is one of
the most debated topic on the current soc.culture.pakistan, hence the
suggestion for a separate newsgroup on this topic.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.religion

Although Muslims in Pakistan are in majority, the religious
discussions are not just on 'Islam'.  If they were, then the three
*.religion.islam newsgroups would be more than enough.  The other
religions in Pakistan are: Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhs, Parsi and
many more.  The minority religions have their communities, school
systems, reserved seats in the parliament.  Unfortunately, minorities
religious issues, and especially, religious issues of Pakistanis while
coexistence and daily interactions with each others are commonly
overshadowed by the stereotypical assump- tions of all Pakistanis as
Muslims.  This newsgroups would add a unique diversity in the scp.*
hierarchy as well as the *religion.* forums on Usenet in general.  The
set of issues and discussions are very much unique to Pakistan.
Despite the fact that sri, ari and uri exist, the discussion on Islam
does take place on SCP.  The reason, the discussions are in context of
Pakistani culture.  The scp.religion, is for discussion of all
religions in Pakistan, not just Islam.  In addition, the newsgroup
gives voice to religious minorities.  The religious discussion traffic
clearly deserves a separate newsgroup of its own.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.sports

This forum is needed for discussion of selection and performance of
National sports teams, world sports events participated by Pakistan,
scores and rankings of Pakistani athletes.

Most common sports in Pakistan are: Hockey, Cricket, Squash, Kabadi,
Boxing, Tennis, swimming, Football etc.  The proposal is for one
single newsgroup to discuss all Pakistan related sports, discussions
of local talents, summer camps, university camps, local HBL-11 vs
UBL-11 matches for instant are all directly related to Pakistan.  None
of them make sense on global rec.sport.*.pakistan array of newsgroups.

Sports being one of the most favorite topic of discussion on a
multitude of rec.sport.*.Pakistan, it definitely needs a separate
newsgroup under the hierarchy.

MODERATION POLICIES: all groups

        Namely, soc.culture.pakistan.education
                soc.culture.pakistan.history
                soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

The newsgroups in soc.culture.pakistan.hierarchy slated for moderation
will be moderated by one group of moderators.  The moderators submission
address and multiple moderation tools are in the process of being setup.

The moderation will NOT be censorship, it is solely for:

                1.  keeping the discussion relevant to the newsgroup topics
                2.  keeping flame/flame-baits out
                3.  keeping discussion civilized.

Further, moderators will enforce standard USENET guidelines for postings:

                i)   No test messages
                ii)  No commercial messages
                iii) Postings to be legible
                iv)  Postings to be in proper format:
                     (not more than 80 characters per line)
                v)   Less than 50% quote text.

The moderators may resign at their own will or by unanimous vote of
other moderators if  (1) They have no valid email address  and/or
(2) Have been inactive for over six months.  Additional moderators may
be added by unanimous vote of active moderators.

Changes in moderation team and calls for new moderators will be posted on
the newsgroups.

Moderators reserve the right to amend the charter after unanimous
agreement.  All rejection notices will be mailed to the sender notifying
the reason with cc copies to all active moderators and facilitators,
no exceptions.

FACILITATORS: For all three moderated newsgroups:

        Namely, soc.culture.pakistan.education
                soc.culture.pakistan.history
                soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

Facilitators are advisors to moderators.  Readers interested in advising
moderators and active in discussing moderation issues.  Unlike moderators
facilitators will not have posting rights.  Facilitators are nominated
by moderators by mutual agreement.  And anyone may volunteer to be a
facilitator.

TECHNICAL MODERATOR: For proposed moderated newsgroups.  Solely responsible
for technical aspects, including maintaining submission addresses, updating
moderators' lists, posting announcements on technical issues.  Does not
review/post regular incoming articles.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.education

Pakistan is a fast developing nation.  Unfortunately, the literacy rate
is among the poorest nations.  The Government allocates less than 1% of
its budget for education.  It is now basically up to the Pakistanis to
help the fellow citizens.  A good solid efforts have already culminated
in the form of mushrooming private colleges and universities.  Government
policies, funding, good syllabus, accreditation, libraries, text books
and human resources are lacking.  This newsgroup is intended to foster
discussions and to bring together those who may be willing to help in.
Moderation is needed to keep the discussions specific to the topic and
to cut out any noise from this serious newsgroup.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.politics

Pakistan is a democratic country.  The political system is
Parliamentary.  The chief executive is the Prime Minister holding a
majority support in National assembly.  The head of the state is the
President.  Each province has a Provincial Assembly, Chief Minister and
Governor.  The number of political parties exceeds 10.  There are
constant coalitions and splitting among political parties, hence
political discussions are very lively.  This newsgroup is reserved for
those taking part in discussions related to any aspect of political
system of Pakistan.

END CHARTER.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.religion

Pakistan is a predominately Muslim but a number of citizens believe in
other faiths.  Although minority, they have special seats in the
parliament and separate ministry at Federal Level.  Pakistan also has a
Muslim Parliament (Shu'ra) and parallel Islamic Justice system (courts
and laws).  Recently, there have been calls of enforcement and
implementation of Islamic Systems and Laws (E.g.  Malakand Division).
This newsgroup is for discussions on religion, as related to Pakistan.

END CHARTER.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.sports

Pakistan holds world championships in Squash, Hockey and Cricket.  Much
of which goes unnoticed or undiscussed.  Pakistanis follow all the
matches and world tournaments in sports, specifically the above three.
The commentary, critique, discussions and announcements on upcoming
world and local events, availability of sports equipment, coaches, clubs
where favorite Pakistani sports may be played and much more requires a
separate newsgroup of its own.  This newsgroup will serve that purpose.

CHARTER: soc.culture.pakistan.education

Pakistan is a fast developing nation.  Unfortunately, the literacy rate
is among the poorest nations.  The Government allocates less than 1% of
its budget for education.  It is now basically up to the Pakistanis to
help the fellow citizens.  A good solid efforts have already culminated
in the form of mushrooming private colleges and universities.  Government
policies, funding, good syllabus, accreditation, libraries, text books
and human resources are lacking.  This newsgroup is intended to foster
discussions and to bring together those who may be willing to help in.
Moderation is needed to keep the discussions specific to the topic and
to cut out any noise from this serious newsgroup.

Proponent: Asim Mughal 
Votetaker: Jan Isley 

RATIONALE: all groups

The reorganization is being proposed to better address the diversity
of subjects and the needs of the readers which currently not being
served by unmoderated soc.culture.pakistan newsgroup.

The traffic on the unmoderated newsgroup soc.culture.pakistan has been
increasing steadily.  It has reached the point where any meaningful
discussion on any topic related to Pakistan is lost in the high
traffic and noise. Not only is it high-traffic, but a large part of
the traffic is heavy cross-posting of topics unrelated to Pakistan,
and ongoing personal flame-wars what belong in e-mail.  Thus rendering
the newsgroup inoperable and unusable for serious readership.  This
situation is also driving serious readership away from the newsgroup.
Current proposal is to rectify this situation by proposing to
reorganize the newsgroup into to a number of moderated and unmoderated
newsgroup based upon specific topics of discussion.  These topics of
discussion are the largest threads of discussion on the current
soc.culture.pakistan and on some Pakistani mailing-list, and that's
why these specific topics were chosen at this time.

The current traffic of 200+ messages per day will increase
dramatically as more USENET readers come on-line from Pakistan itself
in the next few months.

The current proposal is the essence of discussions held independently
by at least three separate groups of scp readers.  They pooled their
initiatives into the current proposal to add several subgroups to the
soc.culture.pakistan hierarchy.

The proposed hierarchy is intended to provide a foundation for
sub-groups under the hierarchy.  The proposed subs-groups will focus
on specific popular topics on Pakistan and Pakistani culture.  This
provides medium to express and share ideas, in addition to learn from
other's experiences and knowledge.

Moderation: To keep out irrelevant cross-posting, redirect personal
flame-wars to e-mail, and to boot out the constant flame-baits.  The
moderation will keep the discussion civilized, it will not be
censorship.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.education

There are several mailing lists where Pakistan education is discussed,
major ones, EML and PNS-L.  EML alone has 100 letters per week.  The
audience and participation will be enhanced by leaps and bounds with a
newsgroup on this subject.  The moderation is simply intended for
keeping the discussion relevant.  Most of those participating are
educators and professors or professionals.  The subject and its
implications, implementations and interpretations are vast enough to
justify a separate noise free newsgroup all by itself.  The members on
the mailing lists have said they would participate in this newsgroup.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.history

This newsgroup is of academic nature.  Most participants are expected
to be historians and scholars.  The history of Pakistan has been one
of the popular topic on current soc.culture.pakistan.  Differing
interpretations, research and analysis of events and prominent
personalities which contributed in any towards the creation of
Pakistan do not have an appropriate existing newsgroup.  This
newsgroup will fill in the big gap.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

For general discussions, collaborating of ideas, comments on issues directly
related to Pakistan in a non-volatile environment.  Moderation is
meant to keep out personal attacks, non-relevant postings.  The
newsgroup soc.culture.pakistan is plagued with too much noise and
irrelevant postings.  It is impossible to initiate, engage in or carry
on any meaningful discussion.  This newsgroup will bring create the
long awaited alternative for the readers of newsgroup.  Currently
daily average in soc.culture.pakistan is 200+.
soc.culture.pakistan.moderated will be the moderated form of the
current soc.culture.pakistan.  soc.culture.pakistan will not be
affected and will continue to provide the unmoderated forum for those
oppose moderation.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.politics

Politics is a sensitive issue.  Any attempt to moderate a politics
newsgroup can very well be perceived as an attempt to silence a
certain viewpoint.  The proposal calls for unmoderated politics, so no
one has any basis to think the moderators will censor them out or
their favorite political party.  Not to mention, politics is one of
the most debated topic on the current soc.culture.pakistan, hence the
suggestion for a separate newsgroup on this topic.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.religion

Although Muslims in Pakistan are in majority, the religious
discussions are not just on 'Islam'.  If they were, then the three
*.religion.islam newsgroups would be more than enough.  The other
religions in Pakistan are: Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhs, Parsi and
many more.  The minority religions have their communities, school
systems, reserved seats in the parliament.  Unfortunately, minorities
religious issues, and especially, religious issues of Pakistanis while
coexistence and daily interactions with each others are commonly
overshadowed by the stereotypical assump- tions of all Pakistanis as
Muslims.  This newsgroups would add a unique diversity in the scp.*
hierarchy as well as the *religion.* forums on Usenet in general.  The
set of issues and discussions are very much unique to Pakistan.
Despite the fact that sri, ari and uri exist, the discussion on Islam
does take place on SCP.  The reason, the discussions are in context of
Pakistani culture.  The scp.religion, is for discussion of all
religions in Pakistan, not just Islam.  In addition, the newsgroup
gives voice to religious minorities.  The religious discussion traffic
clearly deserves a separate newsgroup of its own.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.pakistan.sports

This forum is needed for discussion of selection and performance of
National sports teams, world sports events participated by Pakistan,
scores and rankings of Pakistani athletes.

Most common sports in Pakistan are: Hockey, Cricket, Squash, Kabadi,
Boxing, Tennis, swimming, Football etc.  The proposal is for one
single newsgroup to discuss all Pakistan related sports, discussions
of local talents, summer camps, university camps, local HBL-11 vs
UBL-11 matches for instant are all directly related to Pakistan.  None
of them make sense on global rec.sport.*.pakistan array of newsgroups.

Sports being one of the most favorite topic of discussion on a
multitude of rec.sport.*.Pakistan, it definitely needs a separate
newsgroup under the hierarchy.

CHARTER: all groups

Moderation policies for soc.culture.pakistan.education,
soc.culture.pakistan.history and soc.culture.pakistan.moderated.

The newsgroups in soc.culture.pakistan.hierarchy slated for moderation
will be moderated by one group of moderators.  The moderators submission
address and multiple moderation tools are in the process of being setup.

The moderation will NOT be censorship, it is solely for:

                1.  keeping the discussion relevant to the newsgroup topics
                2.  keeping flame/flame-baits out
                3.  keeping discussion civilized.

Further, moderators will enforce standard USENET guidelines for postings:

                i)   No test messages
                ii)  No commercial messages
                iii) Postings to be legible
                iv)  Postings to be in proper format:
                     (not more than 80 characters per line)
                v)   Less than 50% quote text.

The moderators may resign at their own will or by unanimous vote of
other moderators if  (1) They have no valid email address  and/or
(2) Have been inactive for over six months.  Additional moderators may
be added by unanimous vote of active moderators.

Changes in moderation team and calls for new moderators will be posted on
the newsgroups.

Moderators reserve the right to amend the charter after unanimous
agreement.  All rejection notices will be mailed to the sender notifying
the reason with cc copies to all active moderators and facilitators,
no exceptions.

Facilitators for all three moderated newsgroups:

        Namely, soc.culture.pakistan.education
                soc.culture.pakistan.history
                soc.culture.pakistan.moderated

Facilitators are advisors to moderators.  Readers interested in advising
moderators and active in discussing moderation issues.  Unlike moderators
facilitators will not have posting rights.  Facilitators are nominated
by moderators by mutual agreement.  And anyone may volunteer to be a
facilitator.

Technical moderator for proposed moderated newsgroups.  Solely responsible
