This is a formal Request for Discussion on the creation of the unmoderated newsgroup sci.med.diseases.hepatitis.  It is being issued according to the accepted guidelines for newsgroup creation.  Its language is based on previous RFDs.   RATIONALE ==========  Hepatitis disease meaning the inflammation of the liver (hepat=liver, itis=inflammation) is a serious disease usually caused by hepatitis virus with millions of people infected throughout the world. The discussion of hepatitis diseases appears regularly in other related newsgroups such as sci.med, sci.med.diseases.cancer and bionet.virology, with demands for more information on the disease or even requests for help on particular issues concerning hepatitis. There is a mailing list for hepatitis C patients, and it is increasing daily in size.  The mailing list members (more than 150) are interested in such newsgroup, because it will be their gateway to the world for getting more support and information.  I also found many supporters for the creation of this newsgroup, when I had posted a pre-RFD enquiry to bionet.virology.   CHARTER ========  The proposed newsgroup would be devoted to all aspects and kinds of hepatitis diseases.  This newsgroup would be a good place where all people who are interested in the disease (doctors and experts in this field) can communicate with each other and share views and opinions. Not forgetting millions of people who are infected with hepatitis, this newsgroup would give support to those people and would be a good place for them to interact with the experts.  Let me make it clear here that the creation of this newsgroup is not intended to fractionate or separate hepatitis discussion in any other related newsgroup, but is to create a new specialised discussion forum on hepatitis diseases.  So, articles regarding hepatitis cross-posted to other related newsgroups are welcomed.  A partial list of the intended topics would be:  -All types of viral hepatitis and non viral hepatitis. -Prognosis and symptoms of hepatitis. -Complications of hepatitis. -The chronic carrier state. -Vaccination and drugs. -Epidemiology of hepatitis. -Books, journals, articles and newsletters related to hepatitis. -Support for hepatitis patients.  MAILING LISTS ==============  There is a mailing list for Hepatitis C patients. The mailing list owner is Geffrey Thorpe ([email protected]). To subscribe to this mailing list send a message to:  [email protected]  and write in the body of the message: SUB HEPV-L yourfirstname yourlastname Example: SUB HEPV-L John Smith  There is a plan to establish a gateway between the mailing list and the newsgroup.   DISTRIBUTION ============  This RFD is being cross-posted to the following relevant newsgroups :  news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, bionet.virology, sci.med, sci.med.diseases.cancer, sci.med.telemedicine, sci.med.pathology, talk.politics.medicine.  In addition, it will be posted to the following mailing list :  [email protected]   PROCEDURE ==========  Please post any responses to this message to "news.groups" newsgroup only.  All discussion about the merits of this proposal should appear on news.groups.  FUTURE CALL FOR VOTES (CFV) ============================  After a discussion period of 21-30 days, if there are no overwhelming objections to the proposed newsgroup there will be a Call For Votes (CFV) posted to the same newsgroups as this RFD.  The voting period will be at least 21 days.  If the newsgroup passes by receiving 100 more YES votes than NO votes, and at least twice as many YES votes as NO votes, it will be created.

HOW TO VOTE  Send MAIL to:   [email protected] Just Replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing list.  Your mail message should contain *one* and only one of the following statements.  DO NOT QUOTE THIS CFV IN YOUR VOTE.       I vote YES on sci.med.diseases.hepatitis       I vote NO on sci.med.diseases.hepatitis       I vote ABSTAIN on sci.med.diseases.hepatitis       I CANCEL my vote on sci.med.diseases.hepatitis  Neither ABSTAIN nor CANCEL messages are counted as votes; they serve only to cancel any previous vote. Abstentions are noted in the final vote list, whereas CANCEL removes your vote from that list entirely. (This is the only difference between the two.)  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's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.  If you later change your mind you may vote again; only your last valid vote will count.  Anonymous votes will not be accepted. Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered anonymous votes. (The vote must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.)  In cases where voting fraud is determined to have occurred, it is standard operating procedure to delete ALL votes submitted by the violator.  If you give anyone a copy of the CFV, it must be whole and unmodified. When in doubt, ask the votetaker.  Standard Guidelines for voting apply: no more than one vote per person, no more than one vote per account. If you attempt multiple votes or other vote fraud, all your votes may be canceled and your name published.  The complete vote list will be posted with the vote result, including how each person voted. Note that Usenet votes are not done by secret ballot.  There will then be a five-day period during which the published vote list may be corrected and any irregularities addressed. The requirements for group creation are 100 more YES votes than NO votes, and 2/3 of all counted votes being YES.
