Procedural details are below. Newsgroup line: rec.arts.origami Ancient Asian Paper Sculpture. RATIONALE: rec.arts.origami Origami is a very old and venerated art in Asia, and similar arts exist all over the world. Additionally, traditional origami has spread worldwide in the last half century. An alt.* group has existed for some time, but has become unusable due to confusion with a similarly spelled word with sexual content. We hope that by creating a "mainstream" newsgroup some of this confusion will be removed, and that we will once again have a usable forum for international origami discussion. CHARTER: rec.arts.origami rec.arts.origami is dedicated to discussion of the wide variety of folding arts and other paper related arts as well as containing discussion of the spinoff subjects from each art as they relate to the arts, such as books, magazines, television, movies, web pages, archives, chat areas, etc. Additionally, this is to be a social group. Contributions are welcome from all who wish to engage in discussion of traditional origami, and other international forms of paper arts. Discussion on rec.arts.origami may consist of such things as: * Posts asking for information about where to buy origami materials. * Announcements of conventions, fandom resources, new mailing lists, web pages, or other groups pertaining to folded paper arts. * Replies to requests for information. * Questions of philosophy, history, and replies to same. * Diverse and far reaching discussions on related topics such as forming local clubs, programming as it relates to origami (such as 3 dimensional matrix mathematics) rec.arts.origami is not to be used for the following: * Advertising of non-related things. * Posting of binaries (with the exception of PGP signatures and clear-signatures, which are allowed), HTML-formatted messages, or MIME attachments. However, notices of archives, web pages, or FTP sites dedicated to origami-related binaries are welcome, and should be used as alternatives to posting binary material. * Blatant trolls or other abusive material. * Posting of off-topic or excessively-cross posted material. "Off-topic" refers to anything not pertaining to the art, philosophy, or science of origami. However, "on-topic" will be interpreted very broadly; almost anything that is not directly objectionable (by the criteria for disallowed posts given above) will be encouraged. Postings considered by the Usenet community to be 'spam' or similar forms of net-abuse are not permitted. The discussion in rec.arts.origami is un moderated. Enforcement of these policies is to be self-enforcing via methods tried and proven in other un moderated newsgroups. (Ignore them and they usually go away, otherwise complaints to the abuse address at their ISP.) Conversation, chat, and the mutual fun of the participants are all important. Off-topic threads that began as on-topic threads will not be "rejected" as long as they retain some periodic relevance to origami. Commercial postings are not prohibited provided that they are for products related to origami or other arts. END CHARTER. PROCEDURE: This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes. In this phase of the process, any potential problems with the proposed newsgroup should be raised and resolved. The discussion period will continue for a minimum of 21 days (starting from when the first RFD for this proposal is posted to news.announce.newgroups). During this discussion phase, anyone may comment on the proposal in news.groups and the proponents may modify the RFD in response to such suggestions. After three weeks a Call For Votes (CFV) may be posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion warrants it. Please do not attempt to vote until this happens. The proposal must pass a Usenet-wide vote with a 2/3 majority--and at least 100 more votes in favor than against--to be created. Anyone with an e-mail address may cast a ballot. A neutral vote-taker from the Usenet Volunteer Votetakers (UVV) conducts all CFVs. All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups. This RFD attempts to comply fully with the Usenet newsgroup creation guidelines outlined in "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" and "How to Format and Submit a New Group Proposal". Please refer to these documents (available in news.announce.newgroups) if you have any questions about the process. DISTRIBUTION: This RFD is being cross-posted in the following newsgroups, per accepted procedure: alt.arts.origami news.announce.newgroups news.groups Pointers will be sent to various related mailing lists and newsgroups. All follow-up messages and discussions should be directed to news.groups, the Usenet newsgroup dedicated to the discussion of proposals for newsgroups. Follow-up messages should not be cross-posted to the other groups listed above. When a Call For Votes (CFV) is issued, it will be distributed to all of these newsgroups. RFD compiled by Michel Bartolone , but based largely on a prior RFD compiled and posted by Camille Klein , with a paragraph or two borrowed from the rec.arts.mecha charter.

One vote per person, one vote per account. Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid. Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered anonymous votes. Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results post. Duplicate votes will be resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote. The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from disinterested parties defeats this purpose. Please do *not* distribute this CFV; instead, direct people to the official CFV posted to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked, incomplete, or otherwise edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud. When in doubt, ask the votetaker. HOW TO VOTE: Extract the ballot from the CFV by deleting everything before the "BEGINNING OF BALLOT" and after the "END OF BALLOT" lines. Please do *not* send the entire CFV back to me! Don't worry about the spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your software inserts. Provide your real name on the line that asks for it, and indicate your vote in the brackets beside the group name. Valid votes are YES, NO, ABSTAIN, and CANCEL. Examples of how to properly indicate your vote (do not vote here): [ YES ] example.vote.yes [ NO ] example.vote.no [ ABSTAIN ] example.abstention [ CANCEL ] example.cancellation Do *not* modify, alter or delete any other information in this ballot. Vote counting is automated, and failure to follow these instructions means the software may reject your ballot. When you're finished, mail the ballot to . Just "replying" to this message should work, but check the "To:" line. If you ordinarily use a spam block, please delete it and use a valid address to vote. If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three days, contact the votetaker about the problem.
