misc.news.internet.announce	News bulletins from the Internet. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

This newsgroup is a moderated Usenet newsgroup for media coverage
of the latest happenings on the Internet.  The Internet is growing
at an unbelievable pace, and as a result it is experiencing growing
pains.  The Net has caught the interest of the general public, and
the media has taken an interest in the Net.  But because the Net is
so big, it can be very difficult for the media to keep track of the
various news stories appearing on the Net these days.

Thus, misc.news.internet.announce is a way for the users of the
Internet to bring their own news to the media.  This newsgroup will
serve as a place for members of Usenet to post Internet-related news
stories, press releases, announcements of events taking place on the
Internet, and reports of events happening in "the real world" that
have an effect on the Internet.

This newsgroup will be read and reviewed by members of the media.
They will have the opportunity to follow up on news stories posted to
this newsgroup, by participating in the companion newsgroup called
misc.news.internet.discuss.  (See the charter of
misc.news.internet.discuss for additional details about that
newsgroup.)  In this manner, the media will be able to interact with
the users of the Internet, and the two organizations will form a close
relationship.  It is hoped that the media will gain a new, greater
understanding on the workings, politics, and philosophies of the users
of the Internet, while in turn the members of the Internet will be
able to point out important stories taking place that may not be
noticed merely by scanning several popular newsgroups.

This is a moderated newsgroup.  The purpose of the moderator is to
filter through the messages posted to this newsgroup, and to approve
only those messages that contain Internet-related news. "Internet-
related news" is defined as: 1) events taking place on the Internet
that have a noticeable effect on the Internet; 2) events taking place
in the "real world" that have a noticeable effect on the Internet;
or 3) events taking place on the Internet that have a noticeable
effect on the "real world."  Samples of stories that would be
considered "Internet-related news" would include:

        - A bill filed in Congress aimed at regulating the Internet
          or placing restrictions on Internet service providers.
        - A person being arrested for posting a sexually explicit
          story on the Internet that involves a real-life person.
        - A major online service attempting to shut down a World Wide
          Web page that criticizes that online service.
        - Someone attempting to censor the postings made to a
          newsgroup because that person or organization disagrees
          with the opinions of the users of that newsgroup.
        - A person being sued because of postings he made to the
          Internet of allegedly "copyrighted trade secret materials."
        - A reply to the members of the Internet from a business that
          has been affected by revelations spread on the Internet that
          their popular computer chip contains a flaw.

Press releases and news stories not acceptable in this newsgroup are
stories that do not have a noticeable effect on the Internet.  In
particular, political announcements do not automatically become
"Internet-related news" merely because they are posted to the Internet.
If a political announcement concerns the Internet specifically, then
it would be acceptable on this newsgroup.

Postings to this newsgroup will be judged solely on the basis of their
focus on the Internet.  Bulletins will not be rejected because of
any sort of political bias, nor will they be refused because they
criticize any person or organization (including the Internet itself,
and including the participants and moderator(s) of this or any other
Usenet newsgroup).  The single criterion for acceptance in this
newsgroup is this: if the story meets the definition of "Internet-
related news" as mentioned above, it will be accepted.

If the author of a message that has been rejected from this newsgroup
feels that he or she has been unfairly censored, that person is of
course free to state his or her case in news.admin.net-abuse.announce
and news.admin.net-abuse.misc.  The free speech of Usenet will allow
the users of those newsgroups to fairly determine if the rejected
message is in fact appropriate for this newsgroup.
