                     REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
             unmoderated group soc.support.pregnancy.loss

This is a request for discussion for the creation of a new newsgroup to
be named soc.support.pregnancy.loss

Newsgroups line:
soc.support.pregnancy.loss	Issues & support related to pregnancy loss.

RATIONALE: soc.support.pregnancy.loss

Pregnancies can be lost through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, still
birth and neo-natal death.  It is estimated that between 20 and 25% of
confirmed pregnancies end in pregnancy loss.  A group is needed to
support people experiencing this loss and for discussion of the
various options available.

There is no newsgroup that deals with pregnancy loss.  Currently there
are many postings to misc.kids.pregnancy, alt.support.grief,
alt.infertility and misc.health.infertility about pregnancy loss, yet
this topic does not fit well into any of these newsgroups.  Creating a
group soc.support.pregnancy.loss would reduce the load on these
newsgroups and give many more people access to this information.


CHARTER: soc.support.pregnancy.loss

soc.support.pregnancy.loss will be a forum for discussing all aspects
of pregnancy loss.  Its objective will be to provide support and
information for everyone experiencing the trauma of miscarriage,
(including blighted ovum), ectopic pregnancy, still birth or
neo-natal death.  Postings should be supportive and non-judgemental.

The following are examples of topics appropriate to this newsgroup:

* Causes of pregnancy loss
* Monitoring and treatment for high-risk pregnancies
* Risks for subsequent pregnancies
* Coping with fear in subsequent pregnancies
* Grieving for our lost babies
* Funerals and rememberance
* What to say (and not to say) about pregnancy loss
* Deciding what to do when an abnormality is detected
* Deciding what to do when the baby has died but the pregnancy continues
* Organisations that can help

Most importantly, this newsgroup will function as an on-line support
group, a place to tell our stories and receive support from people who
have been through similar experiences.

Unwelcome Posts:

All criticism about choices made when faced with pregnancy loss are
unwelcome, as are flames and postings of a commercial nature (although
posters will be free to recommend or criticise commercial products on a
personal basis.)

END CHARTER.

PROCEDURE:

After a discussion period of between 21 and 30 days after the initial
RFD, a Call for Votes (CFV) will be issued. The voting period will last
at least 21 but no more than 31 days. After the results are posted,
there will be a waiting period of five days to allow any objections to
be raised. If there are no serious objections, and if 100 more YES
votes are received than NO votes and at least 2/3 of the votes recieved
are YES, the new group will be created.

DO NOT VOTE NOW. This is the discussion phase of the process, and
voting will not begin for at least 21 days after the first RFD is
posted.

DISTRIBUTION:

This RFD will be posted to the following newsgroups:

misc.kids.pregnancy,  misc.kids, misc.health.infertility,
alt.infertility, alt.support.grief, news.groups,
news.announce.newgroups

and the following mailing list:

SPALS: Support for pregnancy following a loss

NOTE:  If readers know of other mailing lists or individuals who would
be interested in this newsgroup, please forward this RFD.

Followups will be sent to news.groups and all discussion should
occur there.

HOW TO VOTE:

Extract the ballot from the CFV by deleting everything before and after
the "BEGINNING OF BALLOT" and "END OF BALLOT" lines.  Don't worry about
the spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your
reply inserts.

PLEASE, do not send the entire CFV back to me as this mail is archived.

Mark the ballot and then MAIL it to: <pregnancy-vote@netagw.com>
Just "replying" to this message should work, but check the "To:" line.

In order to properly record your vote, please provide your REAL NAME and
indicate your desired vote in the appropriate locations inside the ballot.

Examples of how to properly indicate your vote:

     [ YES     ]  example.yes.vote

IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:

Standard Guidelines for voting apply.  Only one vote per person, no
more than one vote per account.  Votes must be mailed directly from
the voter to the votetaker.  Anonymous, forwarded, or proxy votes
are not valid.  Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered
to be anonymous votes.

Vote counting is automated.  Failure to follow these directions may
mean that your vote does not get counted.  If you do not receive an
acknowledgment of your vote within three days, contact the votetaker
about the problem.  It's your responsibility to make sure your vote
is registered correctly.  Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of
the most recent valid vote.  Names, addresses, and votes of all voters
will be published in the final voting results post.

DO NOT redistribute this CFV in any manner whatsoever.  The purpose of
a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons who would
read a proposed newsgroup.  Soliciting votes from disinterested parties
defeats this purpose.  Only the votetaker, the news.announce.newgroups
moderator, and the proponent (if specifically authorized by the votetaker)
are permitted to distribute copies of this CFV.

Distribution of pre-marked or otherwise modified copies of this CFV is
generally considered voting fraud and should be reported immediately to
the votetaker or the UVV <contact@uvv.org>.  In cases where voting fraud
is determined to have occurred, it is standard operating procedure to
delete ALL votes submitted by the violator.  When in doubt, ask the
votetaker.

DISTRIBUTION:

The only official sources for copies of this CFV are the locations listed
below and the votetaker's e-mail CFV server which can be reached at
<pregnancy-cfv-request@netagw.com>.

                     REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
moderated group soc.support.pregnancy.loss (moderates existing group)

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to change unmoderated
newsgroup soc.support.pregnancy.loss to Worldwide moderated Usenet
newsgroup soc.support.pregnancy.loss. This is not a call for Votes
(CFV); you cannot vote at this time. Procedural details are below.

Newsgroup line:
soc.support.pregnancy.loss	Issues and support related to pregnancy loss. (Moderated)

RATIONALE: soc.support.pregnancy.loss

Soc.support.pregnancy.loss is a forum that deals with pregnancy loss
through miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death and therapeutic
termination. It provides support and education for women, families and
caregivers impacted by a pregnancy loss. Soc.support.pregnancy.loss
should become a moderated newsgroup at this time in order to decrease
the volume of unsupportive and inflammatory posts, which are in
direct violation of the charter, as well as off-topic and cross
posted threads.

CHARTER: soc.support.pregnancy.loss

soc.support.pregnancy.loss is a MODERATED forum for discussing all
aspects of pregnancy loss.  Its objective is to provide support and
information for everyone experiencing or concerned about the trauma of
miscarriage, (including blighted ovum), ectopic pregnancy, therapeutic
terminations, still birth or neo-natal death.  Postings should be
supportive and non-judgmental.

The following are examples of topics appropriate to this newsgroup:

* Causes of pregnancy loss
* Monitoring pregnancy and preventing miscarriage (where possible)
* Risks for subsequent pregnancies
* Coping with fear in subsequent pregnancies
* Grieving for our lost babies
* Funerals and remembrance
* What to say (and not to say) about pregnancy loss
* Deciding to terminate a pregnancy when an abnormality is detected
* Deciding to continue a pregnancy when an abnormality is detected
* Deciding what to do when the baby has died but the pregnancy
  continues
* Organizations that can help

Most importantly, this newsgroup functions as an on-line support
group, a place to tell our stories and receive support from people who
have been through similar experiences.


Unwelcome Posts:

All criticism about choices made when faced with pregnancy loss are
Unwelcome. Unsupportive posts concerning therapeutic terminations, as
well as posts debating the moral, ethical and political implications
of abortion will not be approved by the moderators under any
circumstances.  Flames, all pyramid selling and "get rich quick"
schemes, and postings of a commercial nature (although posters
will be free to recommend or criticize commercial products on a
personal basis.), are also unwelcome and will not be approved for
posting. Binary files are also unwelcome.

Moderation Policy:

Moderators will rotate moderation duties on an agreed upon schedule.
The job of the moderator is to insure that all posts are in compliance
with the charter. Any moderator unable to perform these duties for a
period longer than 90 days will removed and replaced. New moderators
will be chosen by call for volunteers to soc.support.pregnancy.loss.
then voted on my existing moderators.Moderators who violate the
charter will be removed. A majority vote among moderators will remove
any moderator who disputes their removal for any reason.

END CHARTER.

IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES: READ THIS BEFORE VOTING

Only one vote is allowed per person or per account.  Duplicate votes
will be resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote.  Addresses and
votes of all voters will be listed in the final voting results post.

Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.  Anonymous,
forwarded, or proxy votes are not valid.  Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI
forms are considered to be anonymous votes.

The use of spam blockers or other munged addresses will prevent you from
receiving an acknowledgement of your vote.  If the address cannot be
verified, the ballot will be disallowed.

Vote counting is automated, and failure to follow these directions may
mean that your vote does not get counted.  If you do not receive an
acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker
about the problem.  It is your responsibility to make sure your vote
is registered correctly.

The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of
persons who would read a proposed newsgroup.  Soliciting votes from
uninterested parties defeats this purpose.  Please do not distribute
this CFV.  Instead, direct people to the official CFV as posted to
news.announce.newgroups.  Distributing pre-marked or otherwise
edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud.
When in doubt, ask the votetaker.

HOW TO VOTE:

Extract the ballot from the CFV by deleting everything before the
"BEGINNING OF BALLOT" and after the "END OF BALLOT" lines.  Don't worry
about the spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your
reply inserts.  Please do not send the entire CFV back to me.

Fill in the ballot as shown below.  Please provide a valid name and
indicate your desired vote in the appropriate locations inside the ballot.

When finished, MAIL the ballot to: <bostwick@cas.chemistry.gatech.edu>.
Just "replying" to this message should work, but check the "To:" line.

Examples of how to properly indicate your vote (do not vote here):

  [ YES     ]  example.yes.vote
  [ NO      ]  example.no.vote
  [ ABSTAIN ]  example.abstention
  [ CANCEL  ]  example.cancellation

DO NOT modify, alter or delete any information in this ballot!
If you do, the voting software will probably reject your ballot.

If these instructions are unclear, please ask the votetaker.

RATIONALE: soc.support.pregnancy.loss

Soc.support.pregnancy.loss is a forum that deals with pregnancy loss
through miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death and therapeutic
termination. It provides support and education for women, families and
caregivers impacted by a pregnancy loss. Soc.support.pregnancy.loss
should become a moderated newsgroup at this time in order to decrease
the volume of unsupportive and inflammatory posts, which are in
direct violation of the charter, as well as off-topic and cross
posted threads.

CHARTER: soc.support.pregnancy.loss

Soc.support.pregnancy.loss is a MODERATED forum for discussing all
aspects of pregnancy loss.  Its objective is to provide support and
information for everyone experiencing or concerned about the trauma of
miscarriage, (including blighted ovum), ectopic pregnancy, therapeutic
terminations, still birth or neo-natal death.  Postings should be
supportive and non-judgmental.

The following are examples of topics appropriate to this newsgroup:

* Causes of pregnancy loss
* Monitoring pregnancy and preventing miscarriage (where possible)
* Risks for subsequent pregnancies
* Coping with fear in subsequent pregnancies
* Grieving for our lost babies
* Funerals and remembrance
* What to say (and not to say) about pregnancy loss
* Deciding to terminate a pregnancy when an abnormality is detected
* Deciding to continue a pregnancy when an abnormality is detected
* Deciding what to do when the baby has died but the pregnancy
  continues
* Organizations that can help
