From: scott@FERRARI.LABS.TEK.COM Subject: Call For Votes on Usenet rec.juggling group Message-ID: <911008.011108@indycms.bitnet> This is the formal Call for Votes for creating a new newsgroup rec.juggling. (This CFV is also being posted to the following Usenet newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,rec.misc,rec.sport.misc,rec.arts.misc, rec.arts.theatre,alt.magic.) CHARTER: rec.juggling is a forum for the discussion of juggling (patterns, equipment, events, etc.) and other topics of interest to jugglers (unicycling, balancing, etc.). STATUS: unmoderated, and fully gatewayed with the JUGGLING listserv list. The JUGGLING list currently averages 5-10 messages per day and has over 300 readers. NAME SELECTION: A majority preferred rec.juggling over the original proposal of rec.juggle. Location at the rec.* level (with activities like running, skiing) is more appropriate than in rec.sport.* (with baseball, football) or rec.arts.* (with cinema, movies, sf-lovers, tv). HOW TO VOTE: Mail your vote to: scott@crl.labs.tek.com DO NOT post your vote to the net or mail it to the mailing list!! Any such vote will be ignored. Only votes I receive in e-mail count. Make your vote an explicit and unambiguous YES or NO for the proposal as stated. Statements of the form "I would vote for this group if ..." will be considered comments only and not counted as votes. DEADLINE: Voting will run through October 30, 1991. CREATION RULES: Creating a Usenet newsgroup requires a 2/3 majority, and at least 100 more YES votes than NO votes. The full results will be posted after the deadline with a breakdown of the votes received. There will then be a five day waiting period during which the net and mailing list members will have a chance to correct any errors in the voter list or the voting procedure.
