Conference Hosts:

   The main function of a conference host is to promote their
   conference by encouraging discussion and encouraging other boards to
   pick up the conference. Hosts should keep in mind that users are
   guests in their conference and should be treated accordingly.

   Hosts define appropriate topics of conversation for the conference
   and encourage threads to stay within the topic as defined by the
   conference description.  Hosts should politely ask users to move
   off-topic threads to the appropriate conference.  Occasional off-
   topic posts should not be a problem.

   Keep up to date with messages in their conferences.

   that it is available and ask that they carry it. Encourage user

   friendly way.  Hosts are usually but not always the last word
   should a dispute arise since their main duty is to facilitate
   conversation.  If the problem is not amicably resolved, the
   conference host will bring the problem to the attention of the
   Public Relations Manager or the Regional Coordinator.
