This is a call for discussions to start a new newsgroup. SUGGESTED NAME: soc.culture.vietnam PURPOSE: To discuss subjects related specifically to Viet Nam. The group is intended to be a medium for exchanging and discussing any information relating to Vietnamese culture, news, politics, etc. ESTIMATE OF USER INTERREST: 500+ There is currently a non-publicly organized Viet net through the mail alias viet-net@cs.bu.edu. This Viet net has approximately 300 members. TRAFFIC ESTIMATE: 30+ articles per week Currently, there are about 5 entries on the Viet net each day. The traffic should at least double once we have a public news group. MODERATION: No. COMMENTS: There are some Viet netters who express interests in a public news group and believe that USENET readers who do not know about Viet net or have access to it would be very interest in a public newsgroup. NOTE: We have ~4 weeks to discuss about whether this newsgroup should be started, and what its purposes/guidelines should be. -- Tin A.
