All of the proposed groups would be unmoderated. The existing groups, soc.culture.china and talk.politics.china, would be renamed to soc.culture.china.misc and talk.politics.china.misc, respectively.  The primary change since the last version of the RFD is that the originally proposed soc.culture.china.economy is eliminated now, due to the proposal of creating a hierarchy under misc.invest.region, in which misc.invest.region. china is included. The author of this RFD believes such an arrangement would better serve the purpose. Interested netters should look for the RFD on misc.invest.region.china in news.announce.newgroups or backlogs of soc.culture. china. Information on the proposal is provided below.  From: Christopher Stone <[email protected]> Subject: RFD: misc.invest.region.{canada,china,misc,russia} Date: 19 Apr 1995 12:31:25 -0400 Message-ID: <[email protected]>  Proposed Groups: ----------------  soc.culture.china.arts		Music, painting, literature, etc.. soc.culture.china.philosophy	Confucianism, Taoism, etc.. soc.culture.china.misc		Misc. topics related to Chinese culture.  talk.politics.china.overseas	Overseas Chinese community, e.g., IFCSS. talk.politics.china.unification	Unification/independence of Tibet/Taiwan etc.. talk.politics.china.misc	Misc. topics related to Chinese politics.  In effect, soc.culture.china and talk.politics.china would be reorganized into their corresponding hierarchies:  soc.culture.china --+-- .misc                     |                     +-- .arts                     |                     +-- .philosophy  talk.politics.china --+-- .misc                       |                       +-- .overseas                       |                       +-- .unification  Rationale ---------  Many of the existing China-related groups, most notably soc.culture.china, suffer from severe traffic overload. The overwhelming number of posts (often hundreds per day in SCC) diminishes the significance of the groups, prohibiting many from participating in discussions of the related issues, who otherwise would like to. A reorganization of soc.culture.china and talk.politics.china into their corresponding hierarchies would produce a more logical and better organized structure.  Observation of the past history of SCC suggests that certain topics are constantly present. They are of immense interest to only limited groups of netters, while irrelevant to others. One example is issues related to Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS). Other examples include announcements of various overseas Chinese organizations, friend-locating calls, and information and discussion of immigration issues. Under the proposed structure, these posts would go into talk.politics. china.overseas where interested netters could debate without bothering others who consider them irrelevant and uninteresting.  Another constantly present thread in SCC is the unification/independence issue. While there are groups dedicated to Taiwan and Tibet, apparently many posters feel the need to send their messages to netters of other China-related groups, e.g., soc.culture.taiwan cross-posting to soc.culture.china and talk.politics. china. The proposed talk.politics.china.unification would serve as a common place for all sides interested in the issues to exchange their opinions.  soc.culture.china.arts, and soc.culture.philosophy are proposed based on similar considerations. The two miscellaneous subgroups, soc.culture.china.misc and talk.politics.china.misc would substitute their existing counterparts, only with significantly reduced traffic volume.  The specialization should greatly encourage interested netters to obtain related information and discuss related issues, without wading through hundreds or even thousands of posts on topics they are not interested in.  Charter -------  These six groups are intended for those interested in discussions of the corresponding issues related to the Chinese community in general.  soc.culture.china.arts is an unmoderated newsgroup related to various forms of Chinese arts, both traditional and contemporary. The types of arts include, but are not limited to, painting, music, and literature.  soc.culture.china.philosophy is an unmoderated newsgroup related to various schools of Chinese philosophy, such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism (as a philosophy rather than a religion), as well as their impact on China's history, present, and future.  soc.culture.china.misc is an unmoderated newsgroup related to topics on social and cultural aspects of China that are not listed above.  talk.politics.china.overseas is an unmoderated newsgroup related to political issues in overseas Chinese communities, as compared to the "home world". Examples include IFCSS affairs, immigration issues, and announcements for overseas Chinese communities.  talk.politics.china.unification is an unmoderated newsgroup related to the prospects of unification or independence of various regions of the loosely defined "Grand China Area", such as Taiwan and Tibet. The choice of "unification" versus "independence" for the group's name is for logic reasons only. It does not in any way imply the existence of any pre-defined agenda.  talk.politics.china.misc is an unmoderated newsgroup related to topics on various aspects of China-related politics that are not listed above.  Procedure ---------  Please post all responses to this message to news.groups. If you use the followup feature on your newsreader, this should happen automatically. It is important to understand that all discussions about the merits of this proposal should occur on news.groups only.  This RFD has been posted in accordance with the Guidelines for Newsgroup Creation. Its language is based on previously submitted RFDs. The RFD is being cross-posted to the following relevant groups:        news.announce.newgroups, news.groups,       soc.culture.china,talk.politics.china,alt.taiwan.republic,       soc.culture.taiwan,soc.culture.hongkong,talk.politics.tibet,       soc.culture.asean,soc.culture.asian.american  NOTE: Follow ups are defined to ensure that further discussion takes place in       news.groups only. Please watch news.groups if you are interested in the       ensuing discussion.  Future Call for Votes (CFV) ---------------------------  Please do not post any votes now.

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 of the following lines for each of the groups in question for which you wish to cast a vote:  	vote soc.culture.china.philosophy	YES|NO|ABSTAIN 	vote soc.culture.china.arts		YES|NO|ABSTAIN 	vote soc.culture.china.misc		YES|NO|ABSTAIN 	vote talk.politics.china.overseas	YES|NO|ABSTAIN 	vote talk.politics.china.unification	YES|NO|ABSTAIN 	vote talk.politics.china.misc		YES|NO|ABSTAIN  Replace "YES|NO|ABSTAIN" with either "YES", "NO", or "ABSTAIN", based on whether you want to vote for the group, vote against the group, or cancel a previous vote for or against the group.  *** NOTE ***: A vote in favor of soc.culture.china.misc is also a vote in favor of the removal of soc.culture.china.  Similarly, a vote in favor of talk.politics.china.misc is also a vote in favor of the removal of talk.politics.china.  This is because the two *.misc votes are in fact votes to rename the old soc.culture.china and talk.politics.china newsgroups.
