Following is a proposed RFD (request for discussion) to create a
spectroscopy newsgroup on the internet
Would people also consider passing this proposal onto colleagues who may
be interested in participating in a spectroscopy newsgroup.
Potential users of this newsgroup might like to consider adding their
names to the RFD as co-proposers. It is hoped that at least one-hundred
people can give support to this newsgroup before the RFD is officially
posted to news.groups so as to show there is decent support for a
spectroscopy newsgroup on the internet. If it looks like this will take
a while to do, summaries of responses (who will remain anonymous) will
be posted regularly to keep people informed what has been happening.
---------------------
The reason for the name sci.techniques.spectroscopy is that the Usenet
administrators have created the "techniques" hierarchy for newsgroups
such as spectroscopy. Going with this name has the best hope of
avoiding hair splitting arguments on newsgroup "names" that seem to
plague the creation of other science newsgroups. The above name does
not affect the aims or the charter of what this spectroscopy newsgroup
is trying to achieve.
Please note if a particular topic of spectroscopy becomes very popular
or there is a perceived need to create a subset of this newsgroup such
as "nmr" or "icp", etc - it is relatively easy to create a
sci.techniques.spectroscopy.nmr
or sci.techniques.spectroscopy.icp, etc,
providing the support for it is there.
=========================================================
Pre - Request For Discussion (RFD) of sci.techniques.spectroscopy
(unmoderated).
Proposers :- David Knapp ([email protected])
Lachlan Cranswick ([email protected])
Please note that this proposed newsgroup is intended to
be an open forum for discussion of spectroscopy. Thus
relevant topics for this newsgroup should only be limited
to what the participants in this proposed newsgroup
regard as spectroscopy. The newsgroup, as proposed, will be unmoderated.
--------------------------------------------
We propose a new unmoderated newsgroup called
sci.techniques.spectroscopy. The main aim of
sci.techniques.spectroscopy is to provide an open forum for the
discussion of spectroscopy and related fields on the internet.
(Could people reading this post mention it to colleagues who
might be interested and benefit from a spectroscopy group
but not normally use the internet newsgroups.)
Proposed Name of Group
-------------------------
sci.techniques.spectroscopy (unmoderated)
Purpose of New Newsgroup
---------------------------
The purpose of sci.techniques.spectroscopy is to provide an
open discussion forum for the spectroscopy community on
the internet. The newsgroups allow the rapid and timely discussion of
opinions and information that would take months or years (or not at all)
on conventional paper journals.
Topics for discussion would include :-
---------------------------------------
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (nmr, emr, etc)
Infra-Red Spectroscopy (ir, ftir)
ICP
X-ray Spectroscopy
UV Spectroscopy
Optical Spectroscopy
Software
Data formats
Databases
Hardware/Equipment - specs, opinions, etc.
Applications
Announcements/reviews of papers/conferences.
Preparation techniques.
Non-ambient techniques
General Discussion/opinions/questions.
Positions vacant
Anything else that is relevant to spectroscopy in general.
---------------------------------------------------------------
What is the Process of Creating a Newsgroup
-------------------------------------------
>(a) RFD: Discussion, i.e., public hearing to take place
in the newsgroup news.groups for approximately one month
(b) CFV: Call for votes (the voting period will be about 25 days)
(c) Counting of votes and public display of votes
(d) Announcement of new newsgroup
(a)-->(b) assumes no major disagreements about this newsgroup during
discussion. (c)-->(d) assumes that the vote is favourable., i.e.,
Y > N+100 .and. Y > (2/3)(Y+N)
Y being the number of YES votes, N being the number of NO votes for
the creation of the proposed newsgroup.

FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
unmoderated group sci.techniques.spectroscopy
Newsgroups line:
sci.techniques.spectroscopy General spectroscopy forum.
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 15 February 1994.
After it appears on news.announce.newgroups, the CFV will be sent to
the NMR newslist: [email protected].
This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting
questions only contact [email protected]. For questions about the
proposed group contact David Knapp .
CHARTER
The main aim of sci.techniques.spectroscopy is to provide an open
forum for the discussion of spectroscopy and related fields on the
Internet and to provide a catalyst for improved dissemination of
information between those working with spectroscopy.
Since this does not exist, and scientists in the field have actively
supported the creation of such a group, a CFV for its creation is now
being held.
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 statements:
I vote YES on sci.techniques.spectroscopy
I vote NO on sci.techniques.spectroscopy
You may also ABSTAIN in place of YES/NO - this will not affect the outcome.
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.
Only one vote per person and per account will be counted. Addresses and
votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results list.
