Proposing New Conferences for the Network: ------------------------------------------ If a U'NI-net member system would like to have a new Conference added to the network the net Sysop should follow this procedure: Post a message in the UNI-net Administration Conference to suggest the new Conference. Please use a SUBJECT: NEW CONFERENCE . This will make it easier for others to follow the thread. A brief description of the contents and limits of the subject matter should be included in the proposal if this is not obvious from the Proposed Name. The U'NI-net Administration conference is the ONLY conference this message should be sent to. Please do not bombard a large list of conferences with material about a proposed conference. The decision is in the hands of the U'NI-net Sysops, and the UNI-NET Administration Conference is the place to find them. If the member system finds 15 interested U'NI-net member systems and a candidate for a Host for the Conference within fourteen (14) days he should post a message to the U'NI-net Conference Chairman indicating the names of the interested members, the name of the proposed Host, and a brief description that will fit in the following format: Conf_Name : Conference Description...................... Maximum number of characters for Conference Name: 12 Maximum number of characters for Conference Description: 43 The Conference Chairman may at his discretion immediately add the proposed new Conference. He may also consult with the U'NI-net Hubs for their advice and opinions about adding the proposed new Conference. He may decide not to add the proposed new Conference if he decides doing so would not be in the best interest of the network and its members. Notes: (1) U'NI-net is interested in adding new and interesting conferences and members are encouraged to suggest them. (2) The requirement of 5% of the member systems willing to carry a new conference may be increased to a higher number depending on the size of the network and possible other factors. (3) Consideration should be given to the qualifications of the proposed Conference Host - Please see "Duties of Conference Hosts" elsewhere in this document. (4) The current Conference Chairman is International Host, Joseph Sheppard.
