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 or Juhani a private message if you wish to volunteer. We also welcome others to start new Groups for other subjects.
