CHARTER OF MISC.INDUSTRY.INSURANCE
The scope of the proposed group misc.industry.insurance should
cover basically all insurance related issues which could include,
but are not limited to the following:
* underwriting
* actuarial
* claims
* information technology in insurance
* broking
* reinsurance
It is hoped that the group would lean towards the discussion
of general day-to-day business and away from, for example,
protracted discussions on the finer details of a particular
actuarial equation. Moderation would only cut in when the
subject no longer relates directly to insurance though. As
well as being a forum to discuss specific issues, this group
will also act as an arena in which to simply make contact with
other insurance professionals. The moderation for this group
will exist *solely* to filter out the totally off-topic posts,
and will not judge on insurance related content.
