Newsgroups line:
rec.music.artists.beatles.info Informative stuff about the Beatles. (Moderated)

This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. Questions about
this proposal should be directed to the proponent.
Proponent: Maurizio Codogno <m...@beatles.cselt.stet.it>
Votetaker: Warren Lavallee <war...@Syra.NET>
RATIONALE: rec.music.artists.beatles.info
The group rec.music.beatles, one of the first created in the rec.music.*
Besides the discussions, there are many posts studying in detail the
music of the Beatles, explaining trivia about their discography, or
history. Since 1994, however, the number of articles posted every day
has steadily grown. Even if we do not consider the somewhat peculiar
present period, with all the hype about _The Beatles Anthology_ leading
to peaks of 500-800 messages per day, there are usually 200-300 messages
every day, most of which from people who just found the newsgroup.
Many FAQ files have been set up to help these newcomers find the answers
to the question they pose, but we fear that many casual readers choose
not to read the group because of the high volume of postings. To split
the group among the threads: we think however that the creation of a
specific group collecting informative messages, which runs in parallel
with rec.music.beatles, will prove valuable to casual readers, without
affecting general readers or increasing global traffic on Usenet.
The new group will welcome any informative articles or substantive
reviews about Beatles and their work from everyone. All messages will
be crossposted to rec.music.beatles, since there is no intention of
creating an elite newsgroup.
The name of the proposed group has been chosen to give the casual reader
a clear understanding of what can be found in the group itself. It has
been chosen to put it under rec.music.artists hierarchy both because
this is the current trend for newsgroups about artists and because
having both rec.music.beatles and rec.music.beatles.info could cause a
loss of performance on many servers.
END RATIONALE
CHARTER: rec.music.artists.beatles.info
rec.music.artists.beatles.info is a moderated group for posting
of informative material and substantive reviews about everything
related to the Beatles. It is meant to be parallel to the present
group rec.music.beatles, in that the messages will be crossposted
to both groups and discussion will be held in rec.music.beatles.
rec.music.beatles.artists.info should be interesting for those people
who want to know more about the Beatles, but have no time to read all
postings in rec.music.beatles.
END CHARTER.

HOW TO VOTE
Send E-MAIL to: vot...@Syra.NET
Your e-mail message should contain one and only one of the following
statements:
I vote YES on rec.music.artists.beatles.info
I vote NO on rec.music.artists.beatles.info
You may also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL; these are not counted as votes and
don't affect the vote count.
Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program.
The votetaker will respond to your received ballots with a personal
acknowledge- ment by mail - if you do not receive one within several
days, try again. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is
registered correctly.
If you later change your mind you may vote again; only your last valid
vote will count.
VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:
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; this includes votes generated by
WWW/HTML/CGI forms.
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. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of the most
recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will be published
in the final voting results post.
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 otherwise edited
copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud. When in
doubt, ask the votetaker.
