The goal of this process is to find a new moderator<br /> for the group; failing that, the group will either be robo-moderated or<br /> removed.<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 /> NEWSGROUPS LINE: sci.physics.plasma<br /> <br /> sci.physics.plasma Plasma Science &amp; Technology community exchange. (Moderated)<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER: sci.physics.plasma<br /> <br /> Plasmas are as rich as any other state of matter in terms of<br /> distinct processes and they encompass distinguishable scales<br /> ranging from the atomic to the galactic. Opportunities in plasma<br /> science and technology reflect this breadth in phenomena and<br /> scales; one recent list contains close to 200 subject areas and<br /> more than 90 applications areas including thin-film diamond<br /> deposition, toxic waste disposal, plasma arcs for steel<br /> processing, laser self-focusing, fusion for energy production, gas<br /> and arc lamps, cutting and welding, and semiconductor production.<br /> <br /> The Plasma Science and Technology research community seeks an<br /> increased dialogue among its multifarious constituencies. The<br /> NEWSGROUP for Plasma Science and Technology is intended as a<br /> community forum for sharing new developments and bringing<br /> researchers together for potential new collaborations. The<br /> newsgroup also provides a forum for public outreach and education.<br /> Postings from students and the general public are welcome as we<br /> all help one another in learning more about the &quot;fourth state of<br /> matter&quot; and its enormous range of applications.<br /> <br /> BACKGROUND: sci.physics.plasma<br /> <br /> sci.physics.plasma was initiated by Tim Eastman in July 1994. The current<br /> moderator (since July 1996) is:<br /> <br /> John W. McKelliget<br /> Dept. of Mechanical Engineering<br /> University of Massachusetts<br /> <br /> An archive of posts is available at: <br /> <br /> http://sci-phys-plasma.caeds.eng.uml.edu/<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups<br /> sci.physics<br /> sci.physics.plasma<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Martin X.
