Dear RMO Members:
Prompted by an enquiry from an RMO member*, I have given some thought
to the creation of a specialized discussion forum that would
supplement - not compete with - rec.music.opera and
opera.clips.ancora.
The basic idea is a Hall of Fame for singers, although it could
include composers, conductors, etc. At some pre-arranged schedule
members would nominate a particular singer for membership in the Hall
of Fame and upload a representative clip of the singer's work and
present arguments in favor thereof. Other group members could/would
discuss and debate the Nominee's merits and then the Nomination
Committee (or Board of Governors) evaluate the arguments and make a
final decision on the Nominee's permanent Hall of Fame membership.
Each artist so selected would be enshrined in his/her own dedicated
wing which would/could include permanent or rotating clips, articles
and photographs.
The new group could also have other features, but those are already
being well-served by existing groups, and the Hall of Fame with its
rigourous debate opportunities is, as I
see it, the magnet that will attract a flood of knowledgeable
members.
The design work is almost completed but the Group is not yet launched.
I am
the interim owner, but will turn ownership over to the first Board of
Governors which, if you agree, should have a rotating membership.
I shall be interested in your thoughts on the value of such a group
and whether it would be a harmonious fit with existing groups.
Additionally, please comment on the design features that I have
described and any others you would like to see incorporated.
Kind regards,
Rick Revanth

*Those who have read my previous posts on this project know that the
idea was sparked jestingly by Charles Handelman. No further interest
has been expressed by Mr. Handelman, but I think the idea is good
enough to test the waters for wider interest with rec.music.opera and
opera.clips.ancora memberships.
