For your newsgroups file:
misc.business.facilitators	Forum for group facilitation professionals. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

This moderated forum will focus chiefly on the practical aspects
of facilitation although theoretical issues will not be excluded.
Participants will share ideas and advice on situations, methods,
and resources and pass on illustrations of exercises, models,
metaphors, and war stories.

This newsgroup will be open to, but not limited to, those whose
expertise and/or interests includes

_ Professional workshop, seminar, and meeting facilitation
_ Moderation, mediation, and conflict resolution
- Workshop design
- Session or conference leadership
- Large group facilitation
- OD consulting
- Facilitated learning
- Electronic meeting systems
- Strategic planning
- TQM and CQI consulting
- Team building
- Group process initiatives
- Community-based planning

This group will focus on facilitation rather than training issues.
Training is defined here as having an emphasis on the transfer of
information (course content) from a trainer to a group and training
issues are those topics which relate to the delivery or organization
of that content. This should not be taken to mean that trainers are
not welcome. However,lists, e.g. TRDEV-L already cater extremely well
to trainers and training issues.

m.b.f-moderated will replace m.b.f-unmoderated where advertising and the
promotion of products or services will not be permitted. Recommendations
of products and services of interest to facilitators may be made by
those without a vested interest.

Submissions cross-posted to other groups, which is strongly discouraged
by Usenet, will generally not be accepted unless they are approved FAQs,
RFDs, and CFVs.
