unmoderated group rec.music.makers.squeezebox
Newsgroups line:
rec.music.makers.squeezebox Accordions, concertinas, and related free reeds.
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 4 Dec 1995.
This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. Questions
about the proposed group should be directed to the proponent.

RATIONALE: rec.music.makers.squeezebox
Squeezebox players do not fit naturally in any of the existing netnews
groups. Presently, they can be found scattered among newsgroups
reflecting the genre in which they play, from old-time to celtic to
polka to folk, or lurking in rec.music.makers.builders. That a
unified forum can be invaluable to these players is attested to by the
success and popularity of the accordion and concertina mailing list,
whose membership has been steadily increasing for the last two years
and currently numbers around 275 with 25 messages/day. It is hoped that
rec.music.makers.squeezebox can provide a haven for currently
disconnected squeezeboxers and hence continue the growth and vitality
of the internet squeezebox community.
CHARTER: rec.music.makers.squeezebox
rec.music.makers.squeezebox will be an unmoderated discussion group
focusing on the the playing and maintenance of all sorts of
squeezeboxes, including piano and button accordions, concertinas,
melodeons, and bandoneons. This can include, but is not limited to,
discussion of playing technique; instrument types, including
the classification of various instruments; construction, maintenance,
and repair technique; cross-instrument comparisons; instruction; and
literature. In keeping with the music.makers hierarchy, the discussion
of squeezebox players and musical genres which happen to include
squeezeboxes should be oriented towards fellow players, not fans. For
example, technical discussion of technique, playing styles, or kinds of
boxes used is fair game. On the other hand, discussion of what the stars
eat for breakfast or which zydeco band is clearly the rockingest should
be held in newsgroups devoted to that star or genre, since squeezeboxes
are only marginally involved.
The intended audience for this group is all those who play, maintain,
or build any variety of squeezebox at any level of ability.
acco...@cs.cmu.edu will be bi-directionally gatewayed with
rec.music.makers.squeezebox.

Vote counting is automated. Failure to follow these directions may mean that
your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an acknowledgment of
your vote within three days contact the votetaker about the problem. IT'S YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE IS REGISTERED CORRECTLY.
If you wish to change your vote, simply vote again from the same account;

THIS IS NOT A SECRET VOTE. Names, addresses, and votes will be published in
a RESULTS article in the same newsgroups in which this CFV appears.
The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons
who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from disinterested
parties defeats this purpose. Please do not distribute this CFV. If you must,
direct people to the official CFV as posted to news.announce.newgroups.
Distributing pre-marked or edited copies of this CFV is vote fraud. When in
doubt, ask the votetaker.
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One person, one vote. Votes must be
mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded or proxy
votes are not valid. Votes mailed by WWW servers are considered to be
anonymous votes.
DISTRIBUTION:
