                      REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)

             unmoderated group:     sci.physics.acoustics



This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the

unmoderated newsgroup sci.physics.acoustics



NEWSGROUPS LINE:

For your newsgroups file:

sci.physics.acoustics   Topics in acoustics and vibrations



RATIONALE:



The group alt.sci.physics.acoustics in the same topic space was started in 

1995 and has been a successful group with productive discussion since, but 

has not had the more broadly accepted Big 8 newsgroup posture.



CHARTER:



This news group is intended for serious discussion on all technical fields 

of acoustics and vibration as indicated by the Acoustical Society of 

America. See page B1 in the 2006 (Green) ASA membership directory. These 

are:



Architectural Acoustics

Engineering Acoustics

Musical Acoustics

Noise Acoustics

Physical Acoustics-

Animal Bioacoustics (now includes Acoustical Oceanography)

Psychological & Physiological Acoustics

Structural and Vibrations Acoustics

Speech Communications Acoustics

Underwater & Propagation Acoustics

Biomedical Ultrasound Acoustics

Bioresponse to Vibration Acoustics

Signal Processing in Acoustics



1. Consider this news group to be where Hello's are exchanged followed by 

knowledgeable discussions on acoustics and vibration question that may 

evolve. However, detailed repartee on elementary hobbies such as loudspeaker 

design and amplified audio problems should be discussed elsewhere on hobby 

groups, etc.



2. Our discussions should be concise, involving relatively short messages; a 

few screen-loads usually suffice.



3. Avoid public debate that switches to smaller and smaller matters. Private 

E-Mail is for that. Rather, stick to main issues from which all of us will 

learn and also enjoy the benefits of this public medium.



4. Resist the temptation to author large treatises here. Save that energy 

for a separate E-mail file targeted to a recipient, or the telephone



5. When including a copy of the message to which you respond, DELETE all 

extraneous, non-germane lines. Leave only pertinent succinct lines that will 

precede your learned response.



6. AVOID quarrelsome and profane language that ultimately detract from the 

credibility of the arguments and the validity of the information presented.



7. AVOID ad hominem and defamatory comments.



8. Brief "Jobs Available" or "Help Needed" postings are welcome during 

economic malaise.



In these ways, we will all welcome and enjoy each other's thoughts.





POLICY IN LIEU OF MODERATION:



The group will be unmoderated.  Messages which are off topic, profane, spam, 

inflammatory, personal attacks, unduly argumentative, or excessive "Jobs 

available" announcements are discouraged.



PROCEDURE:



For more information on the newsgroup creation process, please see:



  http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:creation



Those who wish to participate in the development of this RFD and its final

resolution should subscribe to news.groups.proposals and join discussion in 

the

relevant threads in that newsgroup.  This is both a courtesy to groups

in which discussion of creating a new group is off-topic as well as the

best method of making sure that one's comments or criticisms are heard.



All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.proposals



To this end, the follow up header of this RFD has been sent to

news.groups.proposals.



If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion

may be cross posted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure

that all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as well.



We urge those who would like to read or post in the proposed newsgroup

to make a comment to that effect in this thread; we ask proponents to

keep a list of such positive posts with the relevant message ID (e.g.,

Barney Fife, <4JGdnb60fsMzHA7ZnZ2dnUVZ_rWdnZ2d@sysmatrix.net>).

Such lists of positive feedback for the proposal may constitute good

evidence that the group will be well-used if it is created.



DISTRIBUTION:



This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:



  news.announce.newgroups

  news.groups.proposals

  alt.sci.physics.acoustics



PROPONENT:



Angelo Campanella <a.campanella@att.net>



CHANGE HISTORY:

2009-06-14 1st RFD.

2010-03-05 2nd RFD.
