The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

News.admin.net-abuse.usenet is a forum for discussion of possible abuses
of Usenet (as defined in news.announce.newusers).  Possible topics include
spamming or Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP), Excessive Cross-Posting (ECP),
Usenet chain letters such as MAKE.MONEY.FAST, forged or third-party
cancellations, broken Usenet gateways, forgery of another user, forged
approvals in moderated groups, massively crossposted "flametrolls", abuse
of the newsgroup creation system, general purpose netiquette, and so forth.

News.admin.net-abuse.usenet is unmoderated.
The news.admin.net-abuse.* hierarchy is for discussion of abuse of Usenet
and/or the Internet; it is not for discussion of abuse of groups or
indiviuals on such networks, such as flames, personal attacks, or off-
topic messages.

Binaries are specifically prohibited from all groups in the news.admin.*
hierarchy, except as examples of other abuse.  All messages removed by
unauthorized cancels in the hierarchy will be automaticly reposted by
Dave the Resurrector or a similar program, at the discretion of the
group moderator or, for the unmoderated groups, the operator of the
resurrector program.  Spams, gateway spews, and other attacks on the
system itself will be removed as appropriate, following standard Usenet
guidelines.
