I'd love DU to have a Beatles Group. Any takers? Not sure how to

get it started or done.




By the way, Macca's organizing a large scale rock concert to raise money for the tsunami victims.

1. Sure! I'll take the Fab Four over the Greatful Dead any ol' time.

Now all you need is.... No, not love, but nine more DUers to support your idea.

2. OK, so I have 1 taker..

3. Sure, but what could we talk about every day?

5. Stuff that's going on the news w/ Macca, Ringo, Yoko, Dhani Harrison,

etc. I frequent a lot of Beatles sites (Beatle freak!?) and there's usually all kinds of stuff going on I can "report" when I have time.

We can also do polls of fave songs, etc.

4. Yeah, that would be cool! And it must include all the stuff they did after

they broke up. :)

6. We can make it anything we want so long as it is Beatles related,

solo Beatles, Linda McCartney, Heather Mills McCartney...you get the idea. There may be some hardcore Beatle freaks like me or some casual Beatles fans on DU.

By the way, I'm listening to a 2-hour Beatles Christmas special on BBC online now. If you're interested click below:

7. Per the Admin's this is what is needed to do to get the

process started to suggest starting a DU group:

One of the best things about DU Groups is that members have the ability to suggest new groups to the Administrators of Democratic Underground. If you wish to suggest a group, please follow this procedure:

1. Start one discussion thread in the forum of your choice to tell people about your idea for a DU Group.

2. In that thread, you must get responses from at least ten DU members who agree to be active participants in the suggested DU Group. All ten members to respond must have donor stars.

3. In that thread, members must agree on a proposed mission statement for the DU Group.

4. When enough members have signed on to join the group and have agreed on a proposed mission statement, one member must officially suggest the DU Group to a DU Administrator (Skinner, EarlG, or Elad), either by contacting them directly, or by posting in the Ask the Administrators Forum. Please be sure to include a link to the thread where members have discussed the proposed Group.

5. The Administrators will consider the request and make a decision. The Administrators will either 1) Accept the Group as it is proposed, 2) Deny the Group outright, or 3) Ask for changes to the Group or its mission statement which would be necessary for its approval.

6. Once the suggested Group has been accepted by the Administrators, the Administrators will create a new DU Group in the "DU Groups" Category forum, and pin the mission statement of that Group to the top of that Group's forum.
