CHARTER
*Purpose and mission:* This newsgroup will serve as a common
ground for the exchange of ideas and information about Switzerland
and the several cultures that inspire the alchemy of this special
land.
Switzerland is one of the world's smaller nations, but its
impact on science, technology, art, statesmanship, and education
has been greater than its size would suggest. It has been the seat
of religious revolution, home to political dissidents, bastion of
neutrality, and cauldron for a national character that is at once
diverse and unified -- hard-working, independent, and resolute.
The paradox of the modern Switzerland is that its independence
rests on its internationalism. The Swiss are all over the globe,
and the world's architects of commerce and statecraft are constant
visitors to Switzerland. Switzerland is a microcosm of Europe and
an outpost for observing change and development within the European
Community. This newsgroup should provide a place for those with
an interest in Swiss culture, politics, and national affairs to
trade thoughts, and for those who want to learn more about this
unique land to do so.
For the Swiss Abroad -- known as the "Fifth Switzerland"
(after the German, French, Italian, and Romansch) -- this newsgroup
should provide a way to keep in touch and to discuss the frequent
referenda that typify the direct Swiss democracy and which are so
important in maintaining a sense of national unity and full
participation in the life of the country.
For the Swiss in Switzerland the newsgroup should be an
additional way for the three language cultures to interact.
*Rules:*
(a) Contributors may use any written language they would use
in Switzerland, as well as English. But if a sender chooses to use
a dialect, it will be an understood courtesy of the newsgroup to
offer a summary translation for others. Any message can be
answered in the same, or a different language. The newsgroup
should not be a "club" for any one language community.
(b) Within the general purpose of the newsgroup, there will
be no restrictions on topics or message content. However,
contributors will emphasize the decorum and respect that typify
Switzerland, even when there are disagreements. Thus, the
newsgroup should try to become a model of meaningful, but
respectful communications, so sorely needed in the world.
(c) Contributors should use best efforts to distinguish
messages of general interest from personal mail. It is perfectly
proper to seek specific help or information, but if the result is
a strictly personal exchange, contributors should consider direct
E-mail, instead of postings to soc.culture.swiss.
(d) This charter is provisional and subject to the wishes of
the community it serves. It is not "owned" by any person, language
community, or commercial interest. Users with ideas for amendments
or improvements should post them to soc.culture.swiss or to the
present contact person.
STANDARD VOTING INFO
You should send MAIL (posts to a group are invalid) to
sc-swi...@amdahl.com
(just replying by MAIL to this message should work). Your mail
message should contain one and only one of the following statements:
I vote YES on soc.culture.swiss
I vote NO on soc.culture.swiss
Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program.
You may ABSTAIN in place of YES or NO - abstain votes do not affect the
vote outcome. You may change your vote later by voting again. The
votetaker will respond to received ballots with mail acks. Addresses
and votes of all voters will be published in the vote results. If you
wish to remove your vote and all indication that you have voted from the
final list, send a vote with CANCEL in the place of YES/NO/ABSTAIN.
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One vote per person, no more
than one vote per account. 100 more YES votes than NO votes and twice
as many YES votes as NO votes are the requirements for group creation.
At the end of the voting period, the results will be posted to the same
distribution as this CFV. The results are only kept secret while voting is
in progress - the results will disclose how each person voted.
