<p>Created page with &#039;&lt;pre&gt; From: Big-8 Management Board &lt;board@big-8.org&gt; Subject: RESULT: news.admin.net-abuse.* reorganization Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 21:05:57 EDT Message-ID: &lt;6KudnUGGUu5-duTXnZ2dnU…&#039;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;pre&gt;<br /> From: Big-8 Management Board &lt;board@big-8.org&gt;<br /> Subject: RESULT: news.admin.net-abuse.* reorganization<br /> Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 21:05:57 EDT<br /> Message-ID: &lt;6KudnUGGUu5-duTXnZ2dnUVZ_uadnZ2d@supernews.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> RESULT<br /> reorganization of news.admin.net-abuse.*<br /> <br /> The Big-8 Management Board has decided by consensus to follow the<br /> recommendations of the existing moderator, to wit:<br /> <br /> news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins will be removed on 11 Aug 2009.<br /> <br /> news.admin.net-abuse.policy will be moderated by Kathy Morgan <br /> &lt;kmorgan@aptalaska.net&gt;. The transfer will complete on 11 Aug 2009.<br /> <br /> news.admin.net-abuse.sightings will be removed on 11 Aug 2009.<br /> <br /> <br /> NEWSGROUPS:<br /> <br /> news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins Group will be removed.<br /> news.admin.net-abuse.policy Moderator will become Kathy Morgan.<br /> news.admin.net-abuse.sightings Group will be removed.<br /> <br /> RATIONALE: <br /> <br /> Tim Skirvin wishes to shortly step down as the moderator of most of the<br /> news.admin.net-abuse.* moderated groups. The groups are still well-used<br /> (.sightings, .bulletins) or at least useful (.policy), but somebody else<br /> needs take care of them (and, likely, work to revitalize them). A<br /> reorganization may also make sense, but he is not the one to bring<br /> about these changes.<br /> <br /> Please note that news.admin.net-abuse.blocklisting is not affected by this<br /> proposal.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> An inquiry into potential new moderators of NANAP and NANAS was posted <br /> to news.admin.net-abuse.policy several days ago. NANAB was added to the<br /> list after discussions with Dave Barr, its moderator-of-record.<br /> <br /> All of these groups were created as part of the 1996 news.admin.net-abuse.*<br /> reorganization. They were intended to allow for regular/automated<br /> announcements about action taken against net-abuse (.bulletins), moderated<br /> discussion of net-abuse topics (.policy), and searchable reports of<br /> network abuse (.sightings).<br /> <br /> A few relevant links:<br /> <br /> http://groups.google.com/group/news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins/about<br /> http://groups.google.com/group/news.admin.net-abuse.sightings/about<br /> http://groups.google.com/group/news.admin.net-abuse.policy/about<br /> <br /> ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/news/news.admin.net-abuse-reorg<br /> <br /> <br /> PROCEDURE: <br /> <br /> A Moderator Vacancy Announcement was posted on 27 April 2009. This process is documented here:<br /> <br /> http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:mvi<br /> <br /> The Board plans to appoint Kathy Morgan as new moderator for news.admin.net-abuse.policy. Discussion in that group showed that<br /> users find the other groups useful but no acceptable candidates volunteered for the other groups so the Board plans to remove<br /> news.admin.net-abuse.sightings and news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins entirely. <br /> <br /> The followup header of this post has been set to news.groups.proposals. <br /> <br /> For more information on the Big-8 Management Board, please see:<br /> <br /> http://www.big-8.org/<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> The current charters for the group are at:<br /> <br /> http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/nana/<br /> <br /> The relevant first paragraph of each group:<br /> <br /> news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins is a moderated forum for bulletins<br /> of action taken against net abuse. Appropriate subjects include<br /> cancellation notices (EMP/ECP, spew, binary, and others), status<br /> reports from individual systems concerning action taken against<br /> abusers, results of tracking campaigns, &quot;rogue site&quot; declarations, and<br /> the like.<br /> <br /> news.admin.net-abuse.policy is a moderated forum for discussion of<br /> policy and site-management issues related to net abuse. Possible<br /> topics include Acceptable Use Policies, what actions should be taken<br /> against abusers, discussion of third-party cancel messages, possible<br /> actions against abusive sites such as rogue site declarations,<br /> discussion of what is and is not net abuse, and so forth.<br /> <br /> news.admin.net-abuse.sightings is a forum for reports of sightings<br /> of net abuse. It is a robomoderated forum, allowing only properly<br /> formatted posts. Followups are required to be set strictly out of the<br /> group and into the appropriate group in the news.admin.net-abuse.*<br /> hierarchy.<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Tim Skirvin &lt;tskirvin@killfile.org&gt;<br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups (moderated)<br /> news.groups.proposals (moderated)<br /> news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins (moderated)<br /> news.admin.net-abuse.policy (moderated)<br /> news.admin.net-abuse.sightings (moderated)<br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2009-04-26 Moderator Vacancy Announcement<br /> 2009-08-05 Result Announcement<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
