    Web

ANNOUNCEMENT PROCEDURE AND FORMAT OF ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Announcers should send their plain-text (not HTML) messages via e-mail
to www-announce@medio.com.  Questions about announcements should go to
the group's moderator, M. L. Grant (grant2@medio.com).

**Announcements which contain broken links or do not follow the
format below will be sent back to the originator.**

All announcements of a new or changed URL are presented in the
following format:

   <URL:protocol://site[:PORT]/path/to/file/or/directory/>

Please note that [ and ] around PORT indicate that this part
of the URL is optional.

For example:

point.  Announcers should not include surveys, polls, application
forms, or the like in their post; such addenda will be excised before

DISCLAIMER:

The moderator claims no responsibility for the safety, legality,
or morality of the resources announced.  Announcements of material
which some may consider offensive may or may not be labelled as
such.  The choice to access or not to access any page is left to the

Announcements should include one of the following ID words in CAPS
in the Subject: line if possible:

ARCHIVE -- BOOK -- BROWSER --  EDUCATION -- ENTERTAINMENT --
FAQ -- GAMES -- INFO -- K-12 -- MAGAZINE -- MISC --
PERSONAL [for home pages] -- SERVER -- SHOPPING -- SOFTWARE -- SPORTS

Use of a subject ID word is optional, and this list is expandable.  The
moderator, M. L. Grant (grant2@medio.com), will take suggestions.

The announcement should be short--less than 75 lines--and to the
point.  Announcers should not include surveys, polls, application
forms, or the like in their post; such addenda will be excised before
posting.  Likewise, announcers should not quote price lists or extensive
catalog-style descriptions.  Instead, a post should provide pointers,
in the format described above, to those resources.

MODERATOR AND BACKUP MODERATORS:

Moderator is M. L. Grant (grant2@medio.com).
First backup moderator is Glenn Davis (gdavis@infi.net).
Second backup moderator is Tim Pierce (twpierce@midway.uchicago.edu).

MODERATOR'S DUTIES:

a.  Modify all posts which do not conform to the above format, which is
    the format that most Web browsers can read to provide working
    links to the announced resource.
b.  Test all URL's and inform the announcer of incorrect links
    within 24 to 48 hours of receiving the announcement.
c.  Post correct announcements within 24 to 48 hours of receiving
    the correct, working URL's.
d.  Post this charter, the charters of the other comp.infosystems.www.*
    groups, and World-Wide-Web-related FAQ's and documents biweekly
    (every two weeks).
e.  Turn over the duties of moderating to the backup moderators--
    first to Glenn Davis (gdavis@infi.net), second to Tim Pierce
    (twpierce@midway.uchicago.edu)--in the event of vacations or other
    happenings that may interfere with the performing of these duties.

DISCLAIMER:

The moderator claims no responsibility for the safety, legality,
or morality of the resources announced.  Announcements of material
which some may consider offensive may or may not be labelled as
such.  The choice to access or not to access any page is left to the
user at all times; such is the nature of the World-Wide Web.
