+<h1>Boost Moderators</h1>
+<p>The Boost moderators are <a href="../people/dave_abrahams.htm">Dave Abrahams</a>,
+Carl Daniel, <a href="../people/beman_dawes.html">Beman Dawes</a>,
+<a href="../people/doug_gregor.html">Doug Gregor</a>, and
+<a href="../people/john_maddock.htm">John Maddock</a>. You can reach
+the moderators at <a
+href="mailto:boost-owner@lists.boost.org">boost-owner@lists.boost.org</a>.
+<p>
+<b>Note:</b> The boost moderators do not moderate any mailing lists
+other than the main Boost developers' list. For example, the
+boost-users list moderators are at
+<a
+href="mailto:boost-users-owner@lists.boost.org">boost-users-owner@lists.boost.org</a>.
+The moderators of <a href="mailing_lists.htm">every other Boost list</a> can be reached
+through its home page.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Moderator Functions</h2>
+<ul>
+ <li>Monitor the mailing list to ensure dialog remains within the acceptable
+ boundaries set by the <a href="discussion_policy.htm">discussion policy</a>.
+ When discussion strays, use private email to gently remind, strongly rebuke,
+ or outright ban, as the situation demands.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>Approve the initial postings of new (and thus still moderated) members,
+ and move members to the &quot;Group Policy&quot; posting status.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>Administer the internal operations of the Boost web site, the main Boost
+ mailing list, the CVS repository, and other Boost administrative machinery.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>Act as an executive committee overseeing important administrative and
+ policy decisions.&nbsp; Boost is a zero-budget organization with no income
+ and no expenses, so that eliminates the need for most management. Technical
+ decisions are worked out on the mailing list. The moderators handle the few
+ remaining decisions that need a definite answer.</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>Beyond the purely administrative duties, work to keep the Boost community
+ vibrant and alive. That may be as simple as saying &quot;thank you&quot; to
+ an individual member, or as complex as starting some major new
+ initiative.&nbsp; Do whatever it takes!</li>
+</ul>
