From [email protected] Wed Mar 29 19:02:14 1995 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (David E. Bostwick) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,sci.bio,sci.chem,sci.chem.electrochem,sci.chem.labware,sci.chem.organomet,sci.engr.chem,sci.materials,sci.physics,sci.polymers,sci.techniques.spectroscopy Subject: RFD: sci.techniques.mass-spec Followup-To: news.groups Date: 29 Mar 1995 18:24:16 -0500 Organization: chemistry.gatech.edu Lines: 68 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: gs2.UU.NET news.announce.newgroups:6528 news.groups:142143 sci.bio:26379 sci.chem:38549 sci.chem.electrochem:1223 sci.chem.labware:604 sci.chem.organomet:930 sci.engr.chem:6904 sci.materials:9428 sci.physics:115244 sci.polymers:2473 sci.techniques.spectroscopy:1494                            Request for Discussion  Proposed Newsgroups: sci.techniques.mass-spec (moderated)  This is a request for discussion (RFD) for the creation of sci.techniques.mass-spec.  The discussion will last 21-30 days from today's date.  If enough interest is shown during this period, a formal call for votes (CFV) will be issued.   Rationale      Mass spectrometry is becoming increasingly more common.  The      American Society for Mass Spectrometry has approximately 3700      members, and membership is increasing by more than 5% each year.      The number of papers presented at the annual conference shows a      similar trend.  In addition, mass spectrometry is being used more      often by those whose primary expertise is in other fields.  New      techniques are being developed, and existing techniques are      becoming more widespread.  The goal of the proposed newsgroup is      to provide a place for the discussion of all areas of mass      spectrometry.  Charter      Sci.techniques.mass-spec will be open to discussion of all areas      of mass spectrometry.  Topics may include, but are not limited      to:           Ionization           Mass analysis           Mechanisms           Hyphenated techniques           Troubleshooting       Short commercial announcements will be allowed, but the newsgroup      is not meant to be a substitute for the normal announcements, and      long, detailed descriptions of new or improved equipment should      not be submitted.  To quote from the Moderator's Handbook, the policy      should be, "Information, not promotion."       Similarly, the newsgroup is not a substitute for peer-reviewed journals.  Moderator:  David Bostwick <[email protected]>   Procedure      Please post responses to news.groups.  The followup feature of      most newsreaders should do this automatically.  Discussion of the      merits of the proposed group should not be posted to any group      except news.groups.       Comments for or against the proposed group will not count as      votes.  The voting will be announced by a CFV after the      discussion period.

HOW TO VOTE  Send MAIL to:   [email protected] Just replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing list.  It would be apprciated by the votetaker if you did NOT forward the entire CFV back; this mail is archived and I really don't need several hundred copies of the CFV on my system.  Your mail message should contain one of the following statements:       I vote YES on sci.techniques.mass-spec       I vote NO on sci.techniques.mass-spec  You may also ABSTAIN in place of YES/NO - this will not affect the outcome. 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 is your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.  Only one vote per person, no more than one vote per account.  Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results list.
