Dear Sir/Madam I am planning to set up a non profit E-mail list to discuss political, social and cultural issues related to my country Bahrain which is located in the Persian Gulf. Internet services was introduced in Bahrain little over 14 months ago. So far there has been no attempts to establish a newsgroup to cater for issues related to Bahrain. The list I am proposing to establish will fill this vacuum. This list will help in promoting free speech and will act as a forum for the exchange of opinions without fear of discrimination or revenge. I expect the number of subscribers will be less than 200. Kindly let me know if you are interested in sponsoring this list.
