It was established in May 1989, to serve the long-term pro-democracy activities for China. Presently, China-Net has 244 coordinators representing 171 schools and organizations in 14 countries and regions. The function of China-Net is to coordinate the united actions among all overseas Chinese in universities and other organizations worldwide. Members of China-Net are coordinators representing their schools or organizations. The recommended number of coordinators for each school is two, and the maximum acceptable is three, due to technical limitations of the net. Each coordinator is committed to the responsibilities of: a. exchanging reliable information related to pro-democracy movement in China; b. broadcasting the network message to his/her local organization; c. posting announcements, suggestions, calls or proposals initialized by the organization which s/he represents; d. reporting relevant activities in his/her school or location; e. informing relevant future events; f. others, if applicable. Applicants must fill out the Info-Form and provide required contact information to become a registered China-Net coordinator. Messages to be posted on China-Net shall be signed, by the registered coordinator and/or the organization being represented, and sent to one of the following two addresses (NOT BOTH OF THEM): china-net@gauss.stanford.edu or china-net@lab.ultra.nyu.edu Personal questions, comments, or discussions are NOT acceptable to China-Net. China-Net is managed by a five-member coordination committee. They monitor the net on day-to-day bases, handle distribution bugs, accept membership applications, update coordinators directory, and respond to questions and comments about China-Net. Their working e-mail address is "net-cord@lab.ultra.nyu.edu". Should there be any questions and comments, applications, notice of change in coordinator's contact information, or resignation of China-Net membership, please do not send them to the posting address of China-Net, instead, direct them to the China-Net Coordination Committee at: net-cord@lab.ultra.nyu.edu Coordinators of China-Net are encouraged to set up local e- mail nets to rebroadcast message from China-Net to their local people; however, receivers on local nets are not encouraged to post any message directly on China-Net. They shall send mails to their representative coordinators, and let the coordinator to decide if the mail shall be posted. Coordinators who fail to carry out their duty, or violate the China-Net regulations, may be removed from the net, temporally or permanently, under requests of over 10 coordinators. China-Net also accept Non-Chinese members, as coordinators of China-related organizations, or as individuals who are willing to help in coordinating pro-democracy activities for China. China-Net Coordination Committee welcomes all coordinators of China-Net, and other friends, to contribute, in various means, on the construction and maintenance of this e-mail coordination system. Hope China-Net may serve you better in the future. China-Net Coordination Committee email: net-cord@lab.ultra.nyu.edu December 15, 1989 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Brief Introduction of the Author(s): China-Net Coordination Committee was formed in early May of 1989. The five members are all Chinese graduate students in different universities of the United States. Some of them have never met the others. It is the shared willingness of working for a better China that brought them together in the e-mail communication system. They share the China-Net maintenance work, and help one another to carry the load of their own study/research duties, and those of the China-Net at the same time.
