Charter

This is where you explain what the group is about. Be clear and concise as to it's purpose.

Is it a fan group? Let's say it's a.d.fan.led-zepplin. You would say something along the lines of:

"This group is for the discussion of the great rock 'n roll band Led Zepplin, in all of it's incarnations, including the Yardbirds. Discussion of all solo work by the artists is expected. Discussions of Bonam's son's band is acceptable. Posts about Dred Zepplin and other immitators are also welcome as a humorous side note. Concert dates and concert reviews are welcome."

Perhaps this will be a collecting group. You can say something like:

"alt.discuss.collecting.star-wars is a group devoted to collectors of all kinds of star wars memorabilia. Trading and selling are acceptable, but please remember that this is a group for individual collectors. Obvious spam from a company will be reported to abuse@corp.webtv.net. HTML is acceptable, as are vid-caps of your collection."

You can include your vision for the group, and anything else that is generally informative about the group.
