Discussion will take place in news. groups, and all follow-up posts should be posted to that group. Anyone at all interested in this proposal is encouraged to participate in the discussion. Initial suggestions for the group name, status and charter are given below, though subject to review and revision based on the discussion to follow. KEEP IN MIND that this are only initial suggestions and it is subject to change as soon as a further inputs and opinions are collected. GROUP NAME soc.culture.somali STATUS not moderated. PURPOSE The proposed soc.culture.somali newsgroup will provide a forum for the discussion of all aspects of the Somali society-culture, economic, political, and anything that has to do with the name Somali. RATIONALE Given the current situation in Somalia, it's pivotal that a form for discussion is created. It is a common desire amongst the Somalis and those who have interest in Somalia to see the establishment of such a newsgroup. This has been expressed by many on the soc.culture.Africa in several occasions. Furthermore, there is also a consent to spare others in that newsgroup the sometimes heated arguments which we feel is neither relevant nor appropriate in that newsgroup. Thus, a news group solely devoted to the Somalian issues is greatly needed. CHARTER The proposed soc.culture.somali newsgroup will be to provide a forum for the discussion of things Somali. Discussion will include (but not be limited to) sharing of information about the future of Somali- What is the solution to the current war, the prospect of establishing law and order, economic rehabilitation of the country, regionalism, ethnicity, religion, and etc. SUMMARY In summary, a newnews group called soc.culture.somali is being proposed. It's focus will be on discussion of all items relating to Somali culture-economic, political, and traditional. DISCUSSION Discussion regarding the creation of the newsgroup soc.culture.somali should be posted to news.groups. -- Shirwac Mohamed Political Science Department Email:[email protected] International Development Studies Ph#-(902) 425-1083 Halifax, N.
