- << 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 22, 1993) send
- your proposals for a new hierarchy to replace what is currently
- soc.motss to me (exukev@exu.ericsson.se), outlining the following:
-
- - Your suggested "root" hierachy name (soc.motss, soc.lesbigay,
- soc.queer, etc.)
-
- - 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 the proposal collection period, I will compile a summary
- message(s) listing ALL of the submitted proposals, in their entirety,
- along with an identifying Proposal Number (used for the voting process).
- 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
- (proposals mailed to me - I will *not* collect proposals from soc.motss
- or news.groups or anyplace other than my mail) will be included in the
- proposal summary posts. Only proposals listed in the Proposal Summary
- post will be accepted for voting purposes.
-
- I will also begin collecting votes from the soc.motss readership on
- the following items:
-
- - The "root" hierarchy name (soc.motss, soc.lesbigay, soc.queer,
- etc)
-
- - The sub-group hierachy proposal which 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 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 newsgroup - 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 the time-schedule:
-
- 12/23/92-1/24/93 : Proposal submissions to exukev@exu.ericsson.se
- 1/25/93 : Proposal summary will be posted to the net
- 1/25/93-2/7/93 : Voting on proposals will commence
- 2/8/93 : Results of vote will be posted
- 2/8/93 : Call For Discussion posted around the net
