RIME Conference Scouting Procedure - Revised 09/15/1996
1) You must submit a request for a scouting request for a new
conference to the Scouting Coordinator:
Greg Birosh, MOONDOG #35, in COMMON, or CHOST conference.
The conference you are requesting must be one that does NOT
exist. If there is a conference that is close to what you are
requesting already in the network, the conference you wish will
be included in that existing conference. Please have a Host,
and a Co-Host (if needed) for your conference in mind when you
post your message.
1a) In the case of a technical conference, please have a
member of that vendor's support team in the conference.
2) The Scouting Coordinator will issue a SCOUTING NUMBER
(KEEP THIS HANDY, YOU WILL NEED IT!,) that must be used in
every scouting message you post. You may post a message in
Common once every OTHER week. You have four weeks to receive
the correct numbers of nodes and hubs (see next section.)
3) You must have (AT MINIMUM) a total of 10 boards who will
carry the proposed conference. When the sysop(s) of these
boards tell you that they will carry your conference, please
leave the Scouting Coordinator a note stating which board(s)
they are, and what their number(s) are. Or, the sysops
themselves may do so.
4) If you cannot get the correct number of nodes and hubs
before the end of the 4 week period, your request will be refused.
You must then wait 90 days before you may re-submit your request.
5) A total of 3 requests for the conference may be made
during any 12 month period. (If not approved after 3 requests
have been refused, you must wait 1 calendar year before re-
submitting.)
6) If you CAN get the correct number of nodes and hubs within
the 3 week period, the Conference Administrator will issue a
conference number, the conference will be officially opened, and
you will receive a message from the Conference Administrator.
