[soc.culture.korean] CALL FOR DISCUSSION to create SOC.CULTURE.VIETNAM

tan@Sun.COM (Tin Nguyen) (01/14/90)

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.
