This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of world-wide unmoderated Usenet newsgroups sci.engr.joining.welding and sci.engr.joining.misc. This is not a call for votes (CFV); you can not vote at this time. Procedural details are below. RATIONALE: sci.engr.joining.misc Materials joining plays an integral role in the fabrication, manufacturing, and repair of virtually all structures and devices. These operations are a significant source of added value and have a major impact on reliability and performance. The technologies associated with successful joining of materials span a wide range of engineering and scientific disciplines. Advances in materials, design, manufacturing and industrial engineering, process control and automation all interact to increase the complexity of each joining application. A newsgroup dedicated to discussion of joining-related issues will greatly facilitate communication between scientists, engineers, and manufacturers with common challenges. It would also provide a platform for cross-disciplinary exchange on joining-related issues. The newsgroup, sci.engr.joining.misc, is proposed, not as a catchall group, but as a rational starting point for joining related groups under the sci.engr.joining hierarchy. RATIONALE: sci.engr.joining.welding Welding is one of the most common joining processes utilized in manufacturing and fabrication today. The International Institute of Welding/Institut de Soudure currently identifies over 140 separate welding processes and allied technologies, ranging from arc welding for thick section steel fabrication to the wire bonding processes used in electronics manufacture. These operations are a significant source of added value and have a major impact on system reliability and performance. The technologies associated with successful welding span a wide range of engineering and scientific disciplines. Advances in materials, design, manufacturing and industrial engineering, process control and automation all interact to increase the complexity of each joining application. A recent Deja News search revealed over 4,000 posts on welding-related topics across USENET. This indicates more than sufficient interest to create a welding newsgroup. A newsgroup dedicated to discussion of welding topics will greatly facilitate communication between scientists, engineers, and manufacturers with common challenges. It would also provide a platform for cross-disciplinary exchange on welding-related issues. The newsgroup sci.engr.joining.welding is proposed for the exchange of scientific information and technical discussion of welding issues. CHARTER: sci.engr.joining.misc A newsgroup dedicated to the exchange of scientific information and discussion of technical issues relating to the general joining of materials for manufacture and repair. Anyone interested will be welcome to participate in discussions about, but not limited to: 1. Joining methods: mechanical fasteners, adhesive, thermal spraying. 2. Other disciplines impacted by joining: nondestructive testing, quality control, mechanical testing, materials engineering, structural design. 3. Professional society activities related to joining: Adhesion Society of Japan, American Welding Society, Croatian Welding Society, Japan Welding Society, International Institute of Welding, ASM International, ASME International, American Society for Testing and Materials, American Society for Nondestructive Testing. 4. Employment opportunities within the joining technology field. 5. Educational resources and events. 6. Upcoming conferences related to joining. Advertisement is not permitted on this newsgroup. If advertisement does occur, it is recommended that any message in response to it be made directly to the author and not posted to the newsgroup. Binaries are not permitted on this newsgroup. Note: This newsgroup will have a gateway to a dedicated mailing list so that people who do not have access to Usenet newsgroups will be able to read and post messages to the newsgroup via e-mail.

One account per person and one vote per person. Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid; this includes votes generated by WWW/HTML/CGI forms. Vote counting is automated: If you don't follow these directions then your vote may not get counted. If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within several days, contact the votetaker about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure that your vote is registered correctly. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results post. The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest in people who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from disinterested people defeats this purpose. Please do not redistribute this CFV. If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or otherwise edited copies of this CFV will result in those votes being cancelled. When in doubt, ask the votetaker.

In keeping with the tradition of sci.engr, on-topic sales material and advertisements are acceptable within this newsgroup under the condition that embedded within it is useful, non-product-specific and free information. Examples of such advertisements would include: new or improved textbooks and software; new or updated WWW sites; course or lecture announcements; and job listings. Advertising which requests that no e-mail replies be made to their postings, uses false e-mail return addresses, is blatantly off topic, or promotes illegal schemes or purposes is unwelcome. Responses to inappropriate advertisements should be made directly to the senders and their service providers and not posted to the newsgroup. Binaries are not permitted on this newsgroup.
