	Request For Discussion: eunet.politics.cyberrights
	==================================================

Now that the Infobahn is beginning to take shape, it would
be a good idea to think about the consequences on our society.
In several European countries, eff-like organisations have been
founded and discussions are beginning to take place.
A European newsgroup could be used to discuss the issues
on a european level, inform people about what's happening in
other countries and coordinate actions, which may be desirable
because much of today's legislation comes from the EU.

The initiative for an european group came from the Dutch
and Belgian digital civilians movements.

Here's the proposed groupname, one-line description and charter.

  eunet.politics.cyberrights   Information society and public interests

  Discussions about all aspects of the information society.
  Developments at both the government and the commercial sector,
  and the impact on the average citizen can be discussed.
  The group is intended for the whole of Europe, but focuses on
  the European Union.

Feed-back is appreciated. Please send followups to eunet.misc.
If consensus is reached, a Call For Votes will be posted in
about two weeks.
