soc.genealogy.african is an unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for
creation by 158:17 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 1 Nov 1995.

For your newsgroups file:
soc.genealogy.african	Genealogy of Africa and the African Diaspora.

The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

The focus of soc.genealogy.african is on exchanging information on the
genealogy and family history of African-ancestored people world-wide.  This
group is designed to be an Afro-centric presentation; but, it is not meant
to be Afro-exclusive.  Discussion is open to anyone with an interest in the
genealogy of Africans and any of the populations who can claim African
ancestry, including, but not limited to: people who do live, did live, or
may have lived in Africa; voluntary emigrants; involuntary emigrants (such
as slaves); immigrants; colonists; and their descendants.

The scope of the group reflects language, history, migrations, slavery, and
the realities of researching public records and genealogical archives, and
includes questions of local customs and history, or of regional or national
history which affected the lives of these people and which are difficult to
research in the present.

Some people hold the belief that all of today's human life descends from
progenitors who lived on the African continent.  The proponents of
soc.genealogy.african hold this to be a philosophical theme rather than a
genealogical matter; therefore, we feel it is not a germane subject area
for this discussion group.  A better place for discussing this might be the
Usenet groups sci.anthropology or sci.archeology.

Posts may be in any language, but those seeking replies from a wide
spectrum of readers would be well-advised to also post in English.
Postings on offensive or defamatory themes, and any other topics unrelated
to genealogy are not welcome.

The additional gateways for this newsgroup have yet to be created.  In this
instance, the newsgroup will precede the Fidonet and traditional mailserver
avenues.

The scope of the group reflects language, history, migrations,

Posts may be in any language, but those seeking replies from a wide
spectrum of readers would be well-advised to also post in English.
Postings on offensive or defamatory themes and any other topics
unrelated to genealogy are not welcome.

Moderation Policy:

Soc.genealogy.african will be moderated in order to filter out
off-topic and offensive material, therefore to improve the
newsgroup's readability and focus, as supported by the charter of the
newsgroup.  Postings of a commercial nature, such as items for sell
or services for sell, are generally considered to be off-topic.
However, the occasional commercial postings which have a general
relevance to genealogy are most appropriately posted to the newsgroup
soc.genealogy.marketplace, which has its own rules of conduct.
Consult the FAQ for that newsgroup for more details.

Admittedly, there might occur some commercial postings which are
germane to soc.genealogy.african, which do enhance the quality of
the newsgroup and inform its browsers in a useful manner.  A one-time
commercial message that clearly has a bearing on African genealogy
can be submitted for posting.  It is very likely that the copy for an
acceptable message will include words like "African" and "genealogy."

Cross-posted messages are very likely to be rejected, except
cross-posts such as FAQs within the soc.genealogy.* hierarchy, and,
on rare occasions, cross-posts that are on-topic to this newsgroup
and to all other groups they are cross-posted to.

Any prospective cross-posts must have a single appropriate group in
the Followup-To: header.

Messages that have no genealogy value, but are intended to slander or
defame or otherwise direct derogatory insinuations toward an
individual or individuals will be rejected.  Additionally, postings
that do not add anything to the quality of the newsgroup, such as the
nefarious "me to" message, can be rejected.  The responsibility of
the moderators of soc.genealogy.african is to use these standards,
mentioned here to preserve the focus of the newsgroup.  In any case,
the actions of the moderator will be determined by the intention of
protecting the focus of the newsgroup, at any cost.

Initially, the moderators of this newsgroup will be both founders.
Other volunteer moderators will be added to the soc.genealogy.african
moderation group by means of nomination by the members of the group
who are current at that time. Individuals so nominated must be
approved by a two-thirds majority vote of the group.  The moderators
will be listed in the soc.genealogy.african FAQ.

Voluntary retirement from the moderators group is supported. Also,
involuntary retirement can be forced by means of a two-thirds
majority vote of the moderators group.
