              MODERATOR VACANCY INVESTIGATION (MVI)

              moderated group comp.os.os2.moderated



This is a formal Moderator Vacancy Investigation (MVI), begun because

moderated newsgroup comp.os.os2.moderated is not functioning,

and may have been abandoned by its moderator(s).



This investigation will attempt to verify the reasons for non-function,

and may result in the removal of the group or the selection and instal-

lation of a new moderator.  In practice, the Big-8 Management Board

considers the third alternative--changing the status of the group from

moderated to unmoderated--as likely to cause more harm than good.



RATIONALE:



Probe posts showed no result. According to Google's archive the last

regular post was approved on 2006-09-26.



NEWSGROUPS LINE:



comp.os.os2.moderated	OS/2 usage tips, info, discussion. (Moderated)



DISTRIBUTION:



news.announce.newgroups

news.groups.proposals

CHARTER OF COMP.OS.OS2.MODERATED



This newsgroup will provide a forum for moderated discussion of usage

tips, information, and issues related to the OS/2 operating system.

Moderators will eliminate



   * All crossposts

   * Posts that contain no information regarding the use of OS/2.

   * Patently inflammatory posts



No attempt will be made to eliminate information that is incorrect, to

evaluate whether a particular post is "interesting enough", or to

censor discussions based on the opinions expressed.  The only

requirement will be that the discussion continue to relate to OS/2 and

that it continue to be informative.  The role of the moderators will

be to create a newsgroup with civil and informative discussion

threads.



There will be a team of at least two, and not more than five,

moderators.  Each moderator will forward each rejected post to one of

the other moderators, who will, at their option, either discard it or

return it to the poster.  The identity of the moderators will be

known, but the moderator who rejected a particular post will not be

revealed.



The moderator team will, by vote, determine whether to redirect posts

or to request that the submitter resubmit the posts to the proper

newsgroup.  The policy regarding redirection may be changed at any

time and may be temporarily changed for any reason.



Anyone may post a "call for votes" in an effort to join the moderator

team.  Not more than once per quarter, a slate of candidates will be

posted in response, which lists the current moderators and the new

candidates (identified as such).  If a candidate receives at least 100

votes and receives more votes than an incumbant, then the candidate

will replace the incumbant.  If there are less than five moderators,

the moderators will decide, by vote, whether to post a "call for

votes" or to just vote on the candidate themselves.  The coordinator

will break ties.



Moderators will choose, by vote, a coordinator.  This coordinator may,

but need not, be a moderator.



HISTORY OF THE GROUP:



comp.os.os2.moderated is a moderated newsgroup which passed its vote for

creation by 563:19 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 24 Jun 1996.
