The goal of this process is to set up a<br /> new moderation scheme for the group. <br /> <br /> <br /> PROCEDURE:<br /> <br /> As the Big-8 Management Board (B8MB) has not found anyone that is<br /> willing to moderate this newsgroup, the B8MB plans to vote on whether to<br /> robo-moderate the group for a time (i.e., posts will not be checked for<br /> scientific content or adherence to the charter). The robomoderator will<br /> not check posts for content or adherence to the charter, but will apply<br /> simple spam filters and prevent cross-posts from appearing in the group.<br /> <br /> If the Board decides not to robo-moderate the group, it will be removed.<br /> <br /> The B8MB plans to begin voting on this proposal after five days. Please<br /> offer any final discussion or comments before the end of this waiting<br /> period. Voting may take up to one week (7 days); a result will be posted<br /> following the end of the voting period.<br /> <br /> If a suitable moderator can be found before voting ends, voting may be<br /> suspended. Candidates should write the B8MB at &lt;board@big-8.org&gt; to<br /> present their technical and academic credentials.<br /> <br /> This is a preliminary procedure, instigated by the Big-8 Management Board.<br /> Discussion of this procedure is strongly encouraged.<br /> <br /> Those who wish to comment on this request to establish a new moderation<br /> team for this newsgroup should subscribe to news.groups and participate in<br /> the relevant threads in that newsgroup.<br /> <br /> For more information on the B8MB, please see http://www.big-8.org/ .<br /> <br /> <br /> BACKGROUND: soc.religion.hindu<br /> <br /> soc.religion.hindu was created in August 1995 by a 551:34 vote. It<br /> enjoyed regular traffic until February 1999. A recent Moderator Vacancy<br /> Investigation into the group has shown that there is no current active<br /> moderator of soc.religion.hindu.<br /> <br /> Some web links of note:<br /> <br /> http://groups.google.com/group/soc.religion.hindu/about<br /> ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/soc/soc.religion.hindu<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER: soc.religion.hindu<br /> <br /> From the control messages:<br /> <br /> Hindu dharma (religious philosophy and way of life) is followed by over<br /> 650 million people in the world. Prominent among its teaching are the<br /> acceptance of various religious paths, and the sprit of universal family.<br /> <br /> Although there is soc.religion.eastern, soc.religion.hindu will be<br /> different. It will be the forum to discuss various Hindu docterines as<br /> they are applicable to day to day living. Unlike soc.religion.eastern, it<br /> will also be used as a forum to discuss various issues that affect Hindus<br /> living around the world. These issues include, environmental awareness<br /> from the Hindu perspective, war and peace, human rights and participlation<br /> of Hindus in political process to promote the universal ideals mentioned<br /> above. It will also be used as a forum for cultural news about Hindus<br /> from around the world.<br /> <br /> This forum will also be different from soc.culture.indian (sci) because,<br /> sci is more concerned with the issues affecting India, whereas<br /> soc.culture.hindu will be of interest to the people from around the world<br /> who are eager to learn about the Hindu dharma (religious philosophy + way<br /> of life) and culture.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups<br /> soc.religion.hindu<br /> soc.culture.indian<br /> soc.culture.indian.info<br /> <br /> In addition, the proponent will post pointers to this document to:<br /> <br /> alt.hindu<br /> rec.music.indian.classical<br /> rec.music.indian.misc<br /> soc.culture.bengali<br /> soc.culture.indian.delhi<br /> soc.culture.indian.kerala<br /> soc.culture.indian.marathi<br /> soc.culture.nepal<br /> soc.culture.punjab<br /> soc.culture.tamil<br /> soc.religion.eastern (moderated)<br /> soc.religion.hindu (moderated)<br /> soc.religion.sikhism (moderated)<br /> soc.religion.vaishnava (moderated)<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT:<br /> <br /> Tim Skirvin &lt;tskirvin@killfile.org&gt;<br /> (acting on behalf of the Big-8 Management Board)<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY:<br /> <br /> 2006-08-08 2nd MVA (LAST CALL FOR COMMENTS)<br /> 2006-07-20 Moderator Vacancy Announcement<br /> 2006-06-27 Moderator Vacancy Investigation<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
