The name of e group was tentitively to be comp.org.bcs, but the name is up in the air so the group will not be confused with the British Computer Society. The group will be unmoderated, and will serve as a focal point for the BCS to communicate with computer users world wide. The BCS has interest groups for most PCs (both current and orphan) and many other special interest groups covering topics like ham radio to database to email. It would be a place for meeting notices, meeting transcripts, minutes of important committee meetings and on line newsletters to be sent and shared with all interested. In February, if the group gets created, we will possibly be able to take on line membership info....There are many other interesting things, like live meetings on line that can be done on internet and discussed in this group. If you are interested and would like to support this effort, please post your comments to news.groups with a copy to BPorter @ world.std.com thanks!
