From TrekWeb.COM

Reports are surfacing which say that after this season Ken Biller is "gone" to work on other things and Ron Moore was asked to transfer to Voyager - a move which Ron has denied online for months. But rumors place a Ron Moore/Voyager deal already in motion. Status of others (Bryan Fuller, Joe Menosky, Rene Echevarria (DS9)) is still to be determined (except Brannon Braga and Michael Taylor who will remain for sure).

UPDATE - Friday, April 9, 1999, 3:45 PM EDT

I had the opportunity to speak with Brannon Braga (executive producer, Star Trek: Voyager) about the rumored changes in the writing staff today. Although he did not want to make any comment on the record, I can say that he conceded that some changes are in store for Voyager's writing staff. What exactly the nature of those changes are at this point, he is not able to make any comment.

However, I have received some more reports today (in reponse to the orignal report) that confirm the Ron Moore transfer as well as hint at Rene Echevarria (DS9) also joining the staff next year. Regarding Menosky and Fuller, decisions have yet to be made.
