RESULT: rec.radio.info passes 215:51
Mark G. Salyzyn, VE6MGS
The vote for creation of rec.readio.info passed, with 215 votes in favour (QSL),
and 51 votes against (QRT) for a total of 266 unique ballots, when the voting
ceased on Wednesday, December 23, 1992 at 2359 UTC.
This meets or exceeds the requirements that more than 100 yes votes be
received than no votes, and that greater than 2/3 of the total votes
are in favor of the new newsgroup.
Next is a 7-day cooling off period for any objections to be raised. Barring
any meaningful objections, the new newsgroup will be created. As the moderator
for news.announce.newgroups is going on vacation, I can not guess as to the
creation date of this new group, but I will be taking submissions starting the
official creation date to the address rec-rad...@ve6mgs.ampr.ab.ca, with
administrative requests at rec-radi...@ve6mgs.ampr.ab.ca. I invite the
moderator team members to begin cross-posting of their bulletins on that date.
Thanks to all who voted! Democracy, I *love* it! I do hope the people that
voted no have no hard feelings, and will definitely try to address some of
their comments included in their ballots.
The following votes were received by the close of voting, Wednesday,
December 23, 1992 at 2359 UTC (5:59 PM Central Standard Time). The list
starts with the 215 QSL or Create rec.radio.info votes, followed by the
51 QRT or Do NOT Create rec.radio.info votes. The votes were tallied
courtesy Paul W Schleck psch...@cwis.unomaha.edu.

---- Now a brief advertisement ----
Newsgroup:
rec.radio.info (moderated)
/usr/lib/news/newsgroups entry:
rec.radio.info Informational postings related to radio.
Charter:
To provide high quality, informational postings about radio. This
group will take cross-postings, or moderated postings from the regular
discussion streams to alieviate the traffic, over expensive links, in
these groups by allowing the news transfer mechanism to drop articles
cross posted to rec.radio.info. Postings in the entire rec.radio.*
heirarchy that the moderators deam as informational, however, are
likely candidates for cross posting or re-posting. Also by placing the
informational postings in this group, make it easier for many to find
radio related information.
By maintaining a high level of quality in the postings, it is hoped
that these postings may end up, at least more conveniently, in various
archive sites, or possibly over the Amateur Radio Packet BBS network
as well.
By using a self-moderator scheme, the hopes are that many of the
postings will maintain timeliness, and good propagation through the
computer networks.
