Interim Committee Update #2

[Henrietta K Thomas]

Note: For background information on the Interim Committee, please visit
http://www.usenetnews.us/archive.htm.

The voting members of the Interim Committee have submitted the following
documents to the Hierarchy Maintainer for review:

~ us.* Committee Charter

~ Newsgroup Creation and Removal, and Charter Amendment in the us.*
Hierarchy

~ Second Level Namespace In The us.* Hierarchy

~ Committee Authority To Change Procedure

~ us.* Posting Rules.

Of these, the most important is the US Committee Charter, which is to be
submitted for a vote to all users of us.* hierarchy newsgroups.

I have already conducted a preliminary review of that document and made
a number of changes. But before I finalize it, I'd like to get some
feedback from the us.* users themselves.

I have posted an article titled: DRAFT: US Committee Charter to give you
an idea of my thinking at this point in time as to what the charter
should include. I would appreciate it very much if you would take a
look and let me know what you think.

There are two ways to respond: publicly by followup to us.config, or
privately by email to ***@usenetnews.us. Either way, I will get the
message and consider any comments you make.

If all goes well, we should be able to take a vote by the end of this
month.

Thank you for your time.

USdotSplat is Rogue at this time. The fix? You may just wish to let it die
or turn the reins over to someone else later on down the road. Just let it
die down completely. And make us.config a moderated NG, RMgroup all but the
ones that actually do something. I am not exactly kidding on this one.

But you have to do something.

One thing you should have learned. You can't negotiate with Terrorists.
