The charter, culled from the call for votes:

   soc.genealogy.nordic is for genealogy and family history discussion
   among people researching ancestors, family members, or others who
   have a genealogical connection to any people in any part of the Nordic
   countries.

   The group is open to anyone with an interest in genealogy in any
   of the populations of the Nordic countries including, but not limited
   to emigrants, immigrants or their descendants.

   The scope of the group reflects language, history, migrations, and the
   realities of researching public records and genealogical data archives,
   and includes questions of local customs and history, or of regional
   or national history which affected the lives of these people and which
   are difficult to research in the present. To facilitate the most
   participation possible, we encourage posts using the English language.
   Posts may be made in any of the official languages of the Nordic countries.
   However, posters using these languages should be aware that this may
   result in fewer responses because many of the group participants will
   not be able to read the post.

   The focus of the group is on people as individuals, as members of ethnic
   groups, and as part of migration patterns, but not as citizens of countries.
   Postings on topics unrelated to genealogy, especially those relating to
   current political or religious topics, are not welcome.  Current events
   and politics are covered by the soc.culture.nordic newsgroup and there
   are a number of newsgroups dealing with religious issues. However,
   questions regarding past historical events or religious practices as they
   relate to the genealogical research are appropriate.

   The group will be gatewayed with a mailing list which will be set up
   once the group has passed.  The content of the postings shall be
   archived at the site of the GENNOR-L distribution site and made
   searchable via E-mail or other such means.
