Gaut  [email protected]  This is a formal Request for Discussion on the creation of an unmoderated newsgroup to discuss issues related to post-secondary educational financial aid.  The purpose of this group is to provide a central source of information on financial aid topics and to alleviate traffic of such discussions from the soc.college and misc.education hierarchies as well as alt.college.us and alt.education.distance.  This is a Request for Discussion and is not a Call for Votes.  The discussion will last approximately 30 days from today (Thursday, March 2, 1995).  Any comments such as "I vote yes for soc.college.financial-aid"  will be treated only as positive reactions to the proposed charter and not as a yes vote on the creation of the group.  If sufficient interest is demonstrated during the discussion period and there are no major changes to the proposal of the group then a Call for Votes (CFV) will be issued along with instructions on how to cast your vote.  This RFD has been posted in accordance with the Guidelines for Newsgroup Creation (or as close as I could get it).  Its language is based largely on previously submitted RFD's.  The RFD is being cross- posted to the following relevant newsgroups:  news.announce.newgroups, news.groups soc.college, soc.college.grad, soc.college.gradinfo,  soc.college.teaching-asst, misc.education, misc.education.adult,  misc.education.medical, alt.college.us  Followups to this RFD are to be posted only to news.groups, where the actual discussion is to take place.  PROPOSED CHARTER  The soc.college.financial-aid newsgroup will be open to the discussion of post-secondary educational financial aid.  Topics may include, but are not limited to:              grants             scholarships             loan programs             work-study             international student aid             updates on current changes to aid programs  RATIONALE  Discussions about financial aid are already occurring on most of the other groups.  With nine of the "Big Seven" groups dedicated to education (eight of which are specifically related to college/post- secondary education) readers of these groups would probably appreciate a central location to place their posts.  As a member of a financial aid administrators listserver mailing list, I have asked for support in forming a Usenet newsgroup.  The responses have been overwhelmingly in favor of it and many have stated they will participate.  The mailing list consists of 1800+ members and carries an average posting of 20 messages per day. However, the list does not welcome non-administrative persons to join.  This newsgroup would addresses the concerns of everyone.    PROCEDURE  Please post any responses to this RFD to news.groups.  If you use the "follow-up"  feature on your newsreader, this should happen automatically.  It is VERY IMPORTANT that all discussions concerning this proposal occur on news.groups!  FUTURE CALL FOR VOTES  After a discussion period of 21-30 days (unless it is indicated from the discussion that there is a need to submit a new RFD)  there will be a Call for Votes (CFV) posted to the same groups as this RFD.  The voting period will be at least 21 days.  If the group passes by receiving 100 more YES votes than NO votes and (at least) two thirds (2/3) as many YES votes as NO votes, it will be created. --  Robert A.
