This RFD has been posted in accordance with the Guidelines for Newsgroup Creation. This RFD is being posted to the following relevant newsgroups:       news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, rec.arts.sf.movies,      rec.arts.sf.misc, rec.arts.sf.tv, rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5,      rec.arts.drwho.   The RFD and/or CFV may be posted to related mailing lists. Discussion will take place in news.groups only.   Please post follow-ups to news.groups only.                               CHARTER  The purpose of this newsgroup is a place to discuss aspects of the Warner Brothers television mini-series (V), V - Final Battle and the hour long series which followed.  The intention is to provoke a lively debate on all aspects of the programme and to provide a place where creative works pertaining to "V" can be posted and discussed.                             RATIONALE  At the moment there isn't a newsgroup that deals strictly with "V", yet there seems to be quite a bit of activity recently on rec.arts.sf.tv with regard to the programme. I propose that this newsgroup serve as a central area where people can find out information about the programme and perhaps news of any possible revival.  The reason for not requesting a separate newsgroup for creative works is that I feel there will only be a few stories posted at irregular intervals and thus, will not impinge too much on the discussions.                              PROCEDURE  After a discussion period of 30 days, if there are no overwhelming objections to the formation of the group, a CFV will be posted to the same groups as this RFD.  The voting period will be as outlined in the guidelines (21-31 days).  If the vote passes by a majority of 2/3, and a majority of 100 votes, then the group will be created. --   *     Andy Williams      *       *     * | The views expressed are    *   [email protected]       | mine and should not be  *    *      *         *        *     *   | misconstrued as representative      * Tel: +44 (0734) 203660   *       * | of my employer !!!!!
