- << Proposal for Collecting Proposals for the Soc.Motss Reorganization >>
-
- I want to see this Effort At Housecleaning continue with momentum,
- so I'd like to suggest the following:
-
- For a period of TWO weeks (starting today and ending Jan 7, 1993) send
- your proposals for a new hierarchy for what is currently soc.motss to
- me (exukev@exu.ericsson.se), outlining the following:
-
- - The full name of each proposed sub-group in the new hierarchy
-
- - The type of discussions to be conducted in each sub-group
-
- - Whether each subgroup is to be moderated, un-moderated,
- or auto-moderated to remove cross-postings
-
- - A short description/rationale/defense of the hierarchy
- naming scheme you propose.
-
- - If you want your name removed from the proposal suggestion (to
- preserve muffinhood/anonymity), then please state such in your
- proposal message. It will be honored.
-
- Your proposal WILL be acknowledged when received. If you don't
- get an acknowledgement (taking into account that I am taking off
- 12/24-12/27 and 12/31-1/3), then resubmit your proposal.
-
- You may submit more than one proposal - if you have several good
- ideas at a new hierarchy.
-
- At the end of two weeks, I will compile a summary message(s) listing
- ALL of the submitted proposals, in their entirety, along with an
- identifying Proposal Number. These proposal summary posts will be
- repeated several times to make sure everyone gets a chance to see
- them.
-
- If you want soc.motss to remain unchanged, then a proposal should
- be sent along those lines with your reasoning. Only submitted
- proposals will be included in the proposal summary posts.
-
- I will also begin collecting votes from the soc.motss/soc.bi
- readership on which proposal is best/most-popular. Only one vote per
- person (your last vote, if you cast multiple votes, will be the
- deciding vote). Details and format of the voting "form" and
- net-address to which the voting form should be sent will be posted
- with the proposal summary posts.
-
- At the end of the two week voting period, I will post the results
- of the vote, and the necessary Call For Discussion posts can be
- distributed throughout the known net.world.
-
- The proposal posts should NOT be cross-posted to anyplace outside of
- the soc.motss/soc.bi newsgroups - we don't need a lot of outside noise
- on this portion of the discussion - we'll get plenty of that when the
- Call For Discussion message is sent out.
-
- To summarize our time-schedule:
-
- 12/23/92-1/7/93 : Proposal submissions to exukev@exu.ericsson.se
- 1/8/93 : Proposal summary will be posted to the net
- 1/8/93-1/22/93 : Voting on proposals will commence
- 1/23/93 : Results of vote will be posted
- 1/24/93 : Call For Discussion posted around the net
