Submitted by: Loai Said <[email protected]>     This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the  unmoderated newsgroup soc.culture.jordan.   Follow up to news.groups please.   CHARTER =======   soc.culture.jordan is intended to be an unmoderated  discussion  newsgroup to exchange  ideas, and  opinions regarding  The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, her people, her politics,  and her culture. The group will welcome all people, and accept all opinions. Topics of discussion will include but are not limited to:  * Politics			* Culture * Music				* Language (Local dialect) * Food				* Tourism * Archiology			* Education * Art				* Books * Human Rights			* Social values * History			* Networking * Research			* Water resources   The discussions will be in English.    RATIONALE =========   Many of the neighboring countries have their own groups soc.culture.turkish, soc.culture.israel, soc.culture.arabic, soc.culture.lebanon, and alt.culture.kuwait, but none of them is the place to  discuss  local issues  usually  of  concern to  Jordanians alone. A mailing  list has  existed for  sometime now, but many members had to unsubscribe because  of the amount of  traffic  which filled  their  mailboxes,  and we  believe  there is  enough  interest in such a  newsgroup due to  the number of  Jordanians on the net,  and non-Jordanians who are interested in the peace process, and the  developments in the country.   This RFD will be posted on the following newsgroups:           news.groups         news.announce.newgroups 	talk.politics.mideast 	soc.culture.israel 	soc.culture.arabic 	soc.culture.lebanon 	alt.culture.kuwait    The discussion  will be  held in  news.groups.  The discussion  will start November 01, 1994, and will last for three weeks, until November 22, 1994.  If there is enough  interest in the newsgroup, a Call for Votes (CFV) will  be  posted shortly after the end of the discussion period. The voting will  be conducted by an neutral third-party.  To get more information on newsgroup creation, please refer to the article  "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" usually found on  news.announce.newsgroups.
