Followups to: news.groups  Proposed by: Cindy Tittle Moore ([email protected])   COMMENTS  For those unfamiliar with the process of creating newsgroup, this is the formal Request For Discussion (RFD) on creating a new group. Those of us on RPD are already aware of the informal discussion on the split that has taken place to shape this formal proposal.  Please notice that followups are directed to news.groups.  If you wish to discuss this proposal, you should do so in news.groups, so that all persons interested in this discussion will be able to see your remarks.  This is a necessary step, even though we've hashed the issues out to some extent already on rec.pets.dogs.  If the results of the discussion are positive, a vote will be held on creating this new newsgroup.  A Call for Votes (CFV) will be posted at least 21, but not more than 30, days after this Request for Discussion (RFD) appears.  The CFV will give instructions on how to vote; voting is conducted for some amount of time between 21 and 31 days.  The exact time will be given in the CFV.  I plan to contact Ron Dippold about using a neutral, third-party Usenet Volunteer Votetaker.  When the votes are tallied, in order for the group to be created, at least 100 more "yes" than "no" votes must have arrived, AND at least 2/3 of the total votes must be "yes" votes.  I will ask for at least one mass acknowledgement of received votes (without an indication of which way participants voted) to help you verify that your vote was received.   RATIONALE  Rec.pets.dogs is currently a newsgroup with a huge volume of traffic, well in excess of 200 messages a day during the weekday and usually over 50 a day during weekends and holidays.  It is increasingly difficult to keep up with the enthusiastic traffic on this list.  It is also clear, from the numerous mailing lists currently existing, that there is a high degree of interest in specific topics on rec.pets.dogs.    Breaking rec.pets.dogs up into several major topical subdivisions seems the best way to help separate out the traffic on rec.pets.dogs and reduce it to a more organized and manageable level.  For example, the sheer number of breed specific mailing lists points up to the interest that people would have in rpd.breeds; the extraordinarily high volumes on obed-l and agility-l, the continuing popularity of flyball on RPD, and sustained interest in conform-l argue for the formation of rpd.activities.  The high number of questions on canine health and husbandry, and the extensive faqs for same argue for the rpd.health group.  The misc group is the USENET standard for renaming a group that is split up.  (Note, for those interested in seeing just how many faqs and email lists there are, you may use anonymous ftp to ftp.netcom.com and look at the documents /pub/tittle/rpd/email-list and /pub/tittle/rpd/faq-list.)   PROPOSAL  That rec.pets.dogs be split up into a number of subgroups, each listed with its charter below:  rec.pets.dogs.activities   This group is for the discussion of activities involving dogs.   Examples include but are not limited to conformation, obedience,   field trials, herding trials, frisbee/disc competition, flyball,   hunting, sledding, backpacking/camping and hiking.  Other   appropriate topics include discussion of training for the particular   activity, physical conditioning, how to hook up with activities   available in your area, etc.  Sportsmanlike conduct is expected; in   particular, derogatory comments about activities you don't care   for are frowned upon.  Use of keywords in the subject line to   clearly identify your activity is encouraged.  rec.pets.dogs.breeds   This group is for extensive breed specific discussion.  Topics may   include breed specific health problems, locating breeders of   particular breeds, discussing breed specific abilities and   characteristics, asking about what breeds make appropriate pets   under what circumstances.  Clearly identifying the breed you are   discussing in the subject line is encouraged.  rec.pets.dogs.info, moderated   This is a moderated group and will only post faqs relevant to   rec.pets.dogs.  The moderator will be Cindy Tittle Moore   ([email protected]) who has written many of the faqs, and already   moderates another group and so has the relevant experience.   Appropriate faqs that are already cleared for posting to   news.answers are automatically eligible to be posted here.  In   addition, many of the regular informative postings that appear on   rec.pets.dogs now would also be eligible (eg, the Protection Dog   articles, the CCI puppy handlers post, etc.). No discussion is   permitted on this group.  This group is intended to make the faqs   and artictles with useful information for RPD more visible and   easier to find, especially for newcomers.  There are at least   46 faqs and articles regularly posted to rec.pets.dogs at the moment.    rec.pets.dogs.misc   This group is for miscellaneous questions that are not more   appropriate for one of the other groups.  This includes chat, humor,   anything pertaining to canines not explicitly covered elsewhere.   The name is the stylized renaming convention for the original group   for when it is split up, and is intended to replace rec.pets.dogs.  rec.pets.dogs.health   This group is for health and medical questions related to dogs.   This includes, but certainly is not limited to, questions on hip   dysplasia, epilepsy, eye problems, diabetes, bloat, allergies and   skin problems, etc.  Hereditary and acquired diseases may be   discussed, as well as traumatic disorders.  Questions about   nutrition and feeding are also appropriate here.  This newsgroup is   not intended to replace veterinary care in any way, but is to help   inform the dog owner about canine health.    rec.pets.dogs.behavior   This group is for the discussion of typical behavioral problems with   dogs.  Examples include but are not limited to: digging, barking,   aggressive behavior, housetraining, crate training, etc.  Also   appropriate is discussion of "why" dogs behave as they do and how to   work with that to eliminate some behaviors and reinforce others.   --Cindy Tittle Moore [email protected] --  _________________________Cindy Tittle Moore___________________________________  Internet: [email protected]              USmail: PO Box 4188, Irvine CA, 92716  From [email protected] (RonDippold) Tue Oct 11 13:06:26 1994 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Ron "Asbestos" Dippold) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,rec.pets.dogs Subject: CFV: rec.pets.dogs.* reorganization Followup-To: poster Date: 11 Oct 1994 10:46:12 -0400 Organization: Usenet Volunteer Votetakers Lines: 151 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Expires: 2 Nov 1994 00:00:00 GMT Message-ID: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] (Ron Dippold Voting Alias) NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:5763 news.groups:120091 rec.pets.dogs:95006  		     FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2) 	      unmoderated group rec.pets.dogs.activities 	       unmoderated group rec.pets.dogs.behavior 		unmoderated group rec.pets.dogs.breeds 		unmoderated group rec.pets.dogs.health 		  moderated group rec.pets.dogs.info 		 unmoderated group rec.pets.dogs.misc 		unmoderated group rec.pets.dogs.rescue  Newsgroups line: rec.pets.dogs.activities	Dog events: showing, obed, agility, etc. rec.pets.dogs.behavior	Behaviors and problems: housetraining, chewing, etc. rec.pets.dogs.breeds	Breed specific -- breed traits, finding breeders, etc. rec.pets.dogs.health	Info about health problems & how to care for dogs rec.pets.dogs.info	General information and FAQs posted here.

No   discussion is permitted on this group.  This group is intended to   make the faqs and artictles with useful information for RPD more   visible and easier to find, especially for newcomers.  There are at   least 46 faqs and articles regularly posted to rec.pets.dogs at the   moment.    rec.pets.dogs.misc   This group is for miscellaneous questions that are not more   appropriate for one of the other groups.  This includes chat, humor,   anything pertaining to canines not explicitly covered elsewhere.   The name is the stylized renaming convention for the original group   for when it is split up, and is intended to replace rec.pets.dogs.   If this group passes, rec.pets.dogs will be removed after three   months, allowing traffic time to migrate.    rec.pets.dogs.rescue   This unmoderated newsgroup proposed as rec.pets.dogs.rescue will be   used for the discussion of all aspects of dog rescue.  Topics   appropriate to this newsgroup will include, but are not limited to:         * General questions and answers on dog rescue.         * General announcements relative to various rescue groups.         * General discussion of methods to use in helping a rescue           dog adjust to its new home.         * Idiosyncrasies found in rescue dogs, i.e., fears, aggression,           etc., and how to handle same.         * Training or re-training the rescue dog.         * Breed specific rescue group information.   rec.pets.dogs hierarchy Final Vote Ack                                                  rec.pets.dogs.rescue ---------+                                                  rec.pets.dogs.misc --------+|                                                  rec.pets.dogs.info -------+||                                                rec.pets.dogs.health ------+|||                                                rec.pets.dogs.breeds -----+||||                                              rec.pets.dogs.behavior ----+|||||                                            rec.pets.dogs.activities ---+||||||                                                                        ||||||| [email protected]                                         Ron Berry YY--YY- [email protected]                                  Mary Healey YYYYYYY [email protected]                                               YYYYYYY [email protected]                                     Angela B.
