RFD: create unmoderated newsgroup uk.net.providers.gradwell   
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

                     REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the following changes
in the uk.* Usenet hierarchy:

          create unmoderated newsgroup uk.net.providers.gradwell

Newsgroup line:
uk.net.providers.gradwell	Discussion of the ISP Gradwell


      *** ALL DISCUSSION MUST TAKE PLACE IN UK.NET.NEWS.CONFIG ***

This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time.
Further procedural details are given below.

RATIONALE: uk.net.providers.gradwell

Gradwell (Gradwell dot com Ltd) has until now provided several
gradwell.* newsgroups on their own servers, for the benefit of their
customers.  They are being replaced with a combined web/usenet
discussion area and, because of additional changes in Usenet provision,
the gradwell.* hierarchy is being ceased.

Gradwell customers and staff who prefer Usenet to integrated web forums
are enthusiastic about the idea of a public newsgroup in the uk.*
hierarchy, and this approach also has the express support of the
Gradwell management.

CHARTER: uk.net.providers.gradwell

This group is for discussion of issues relating to the Internet Service
Provider Gradwell. This includes, but is not limited to, help
with services, discussion of new products and notification of outages.

This group has no official connection in any way with Gradwell.
However, Gradwell staff are encouraged to participate and provide
information, service updates, etc, just as they would in the internal
Gradwell newsgroups.

Advertising

Advertising is forbidden;  however, announcement and discussion of new
products and/or services from Gradwell is permitted.

Binaries & Formatting

Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are forbidden.
Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which a pointer may be
posted. Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP) may be used where
authentication is important and should be as short as possible.

Posts must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly formatted
messages are prohibited. To see how to make some
common newsreaders comply with this, read
<http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html>.

Warning. Anyone posting contrary to this charter may be reported to
their "postmaster" and/or Service Provider.

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 proposal should be raised
and resolved.  The discussion period will continue for a minimum of 10
days, starting from when this RFD is posted to uk.net.news.announce
(i.e. until June 28th) after which a Call For Votes (CFV) may be
posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion warrants it.
Alternatively, the proposal may proceed by the fast-track method.  Please
do not attempt to vote until this happens.

This RFD attempts to comply fully with the "Guidelines for Group Creation
within the UK Hierarchy" as published regularly in uk.net.news.announce
and is available from http://www.usenet.org.uk/guidelines.html (the UK
Usenet website).  Please refer to this document if you have any questions
about the process.

DISTRIBUTION:

This RFD has been posted to the following newsgroups:
        uk.net.news.announce
        uk.net.news.config
        gradwell.discuss

Proponent:

I'm a Gradwell customer and support the creation of this newsgroup.  I
would use it and encourage others, whom I supply with Gradwell services,
to use it too.  In addition it would provide a capability for users to
research previous discussions around services, best practices, etc,
offered by Gradwell, and open up participation to the wider Net community.

As a gradwell customer I support the creation of this group and would use it 
regularly, if only to avoid being forced onto an increasingly impenetrable

read, and look forward to its creation.

Indeed.  

I'd use the group, but it still won't match the support I get from the
company that runs my VPS..

I support this proposal.

The current Gradwell served newsgroup hierarchy is very useful,
populated mostly by clued in people, with relatively low traffic and a
high signal to noise. I suspect that most of the initial members of unpg
will be the existing members of the existing gradwell.* groups, so it
should retain most of these features.

My only concern with moving discussion to the uk.net.providers hierarchy
is that we may lose some of those features. Still, better a unp* group
than none at all.

Regards,

Mark..........

Totally forbidden for Andrews and Arnold and allowed for NTL (but that
should probably be rmgrouped)

I'd suggest you can leave out the 'and discussion' but would like to
see some limit on the number or frequency of advertisements

I'd have thought that the discussion of the quality and standard of 
products and services would be of considerably more use to existing and 
potential customers than the simple announcements - which, by 
definition, could only be made once (otherwise it would no longer be a 
*new* product and/or service).

I've thinking along the lines of:

Gradwell: "We've installed some new PHP servers - try them out."
Customer 1: "They don't seem much faster than the old ones."
Customer 2: "They seem much faster to me - what version of PHP are you 
using?"
Customer 3: "How do I get my site(s) transferred to the new servers?"
etc.

Or have I misunderstood what you're getting at?

Yes.  I'm not suggesting no discussion, just that you don't need to
mention it.  It's a Usenet group - the discussion bit is implicit.

Announcements seem to be the biggest part of the AAISP group without
being mentioned in the charter.

Interestingly, the biggest discussion on that group is about newsgroup
access.

In which case, they probably should be mentioned, as otherwise they 
could certainly be deemed to be forbidden under the "Advertising is 
forbidden" in the charter?

Now I'm thinking maybe: "Advertising is forbidden.  This does not apply 
to announcements of new Gradwell products and/or services."  What we 
certainly don't want is to allow all other products and/or services to 
be advertised!

The line between announcement and advertising can be a fine one.  A
usenet group is not Gradwell property and I don't think you can allow
Gradwell to advertise and ban everyone else.  I'd say ban advertising
and allow Gradwell announcements.  The people reading the group will
be sympathetic if an announcement comes close to the line.

This is exactly what I have been trying to achieve - to define that 
Gradwell announcements are not to be considered as advertising.  I think 
it does need to be made explicit, but would welcome alternative proposed 
wording, and views from others on the matter.

Can you cite any time period ending now (since you say that IS the case)
for which that claim is true?  I don't find fictional nonsense interesting.

What I do find interesting is the change between the time of the creation
of the AAISP group, when the unnc luvvies took the position that any REAL
ISP should be running its own news service, and the comments of today.  Is
it a case of whose ox is being gored or did some people just grow up a bit?

Sure, I simply downloaded the last 200 headers.  Of those 47 were in
the thread AAISP Newsgroup Access - Feedback Requested

The earliest post is the 1st June.  I apologise for not qualifying my
comment but I was not making any serious point by it.

Having had all the discussion at the time of the AAISP proposal there
seems little point in having it again.  I think it is important to set
it up under exactly the same terms, which is why I have been making
the comments I have.

Having said all that, Usenet has changed in the intervening period and
points made in the discussion of AAISP may not be relevant now.

The wording looks fine to me - the 'and discussion' may be implicit, but 
just as well to make it explicit.

Lets just hope the same sort of vote rigging doesn't go on and that 
Gradwell doesn't use staff members (or even the names of those staff 
members) who have never posted on Usenet before to vote for the creation 
of the group as happened with AAISP.

I'd like to think that Gradwell was above that sort of behaviour.

Do you think Barry and Alex got the count wrong?

Why are the exact same arguments that led you and {R} to vote against the
AAISP group not equally applicable to this group?

I have no interest in using this group but I support its formation and, in
the highly unlikely event a vote is required, I will vote in favour.

Whilst I would not use the group myself at the present time, it is a 
sensible proposal and therefore support it.

Looks to me to be a prime candidate for a fast track.

The failure of the private Gradwell news server for a while tonight 
makes me wish a fast-track could take place ASAP for u.n.p.g.

I've never been a fan of private info-forums when there is a service 
that is sold to the public.

The fast-track application was made as soon as the ten days' discussion 
period was over - i.e. Saturday evening.  I hope it shouldn't take long 
- but since I have firmly pretended I am not a Committee member for the 
purposes of this particular RFD, I cannot know anything more than 
anybody else here would know about how things are going.

Rubbish - there are still significant issues being discussed.

If you think the discussion is finished - then kill-file the thread.
You do know how to do that I hope.

Exactly *what* significant issues? There are none AFAICS in this RFD.

It certainly appears to be.
