P2269@com.qz.se ("ENG-LEONG FOO ", MIRCEN-STOCKHOLM) (05/08/89)
From: Eng-leong Foo (Executive Moderator for the month of May).
Though Mr. Juhani and I currently share the responsibility
of moderating this international bboard, we hope to
establish (i) an Executive Group of Moderators
(ii) Specialists Group of Moderators (for the
various subject topics)
Executive Group of Moderators
-----------------------------
The responsibilities of an Executive Moderator are primarily
related to the management of the bboard and include -
* identification and correction message-loop problems in
message transfers, in cooperation with the contact person
of each biosci node
* "hand-holding" of subscribers, e.g. how to unsubscribe
* maintaining and facilitating general interactions
amongst its members
We would like to identify volunteers, your help is needed
and would be greatly appreciated. A special need is given
to members from each BIOSCI distributing nodes and at the
various participating conferencing systems that are running
parallel bboards/conferences.
Current status :
distribution nodes IRLEARN : vacant
DARESBURY: vacant
BMC : E.L.Foo
bionet : vacant
conferencing systems COM.KPO.FI : J.Tenhunen
COM.QZ.SE : E.L.Foo
COSY : J.Tenhunen
ECONET : J.Tenhunen
GREENNET : J.Tenhunen
The moderating responsibility will be assigned on a monthly-
rotating basis to each executive moderator who will also act
as the "watchdog" for the overall activity.
Specialists Group of Moderators:
-------------------------------
During the last 4 months since the creation of
BIOCONVERSION, scientific information and discussions have
generally been on (i) anaerobic digestion
(ii) composting
(iii) integrated biosystems.
In order to maintain a regular flow of information and
interactions, a specialists group of moderators for each of
these subjects needs to be established. While I have taken
the initiatives for anaerobic digestion and Juhani for
composting and integrated biosystems, we need more
volunteers.
Please send me <Bitnet: P2269@COM.QZ.SE> or Juhani
<TENHUNEN@FINUJO> a private message if you wish to
volunteer.
We also welcome others to start new Groups for other
subjects.
