CHARTER OF REC.ARTS.SF.TV.BABYLON5.INFO

The purpose of this group is to provide an uncluttered resource of
information and news pertaining to the television program _Babylon 5_.
rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.info is a moderated newsgroup, which means
that all articles must be submitted to the moderator for approval
before they will be posted.  Articles appearing in this newsgroup
should generally fall into one of the following categories:

   1) Official press releases and notices pointing to coverage
      of _Babylon 5_ in the media (but copies of copyrighted
      material *only* with expressed permission), and announcements
      of B5-related events such as conventions and star appearances.

   2) Episode schedules, guides and summaries, and announcements of
      airing time changes.

   3) Announcements, commentary and background material on
      _Babylon 5_ from J. Michael Straczynski, the show's
      executive producer.  This will include compilations of
      his writings from online services such as GEnie and
      CompuServe and very selective repostings of substantial
      commentary from rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.  The latter
      category will specifically *not* include his short answers
      about details of past episodes.

   4) Other material believed by the moderators to be of interest
      to a broad base of B5 fans.

Volume should not exceed a few messages a day.
