olorin@cs.utexas.edu (Dave Weinstein) (01/14/90)
Due to the upgrade of the Operating System of the network from which
the vote was being conducted, votes sent between (approximately) January
2nd and Janary 10th (the deadline) could not get through. Therefore,
in all fairness to those who attempted to vote during that period, the
vote has been extended for a comparable amount of time to January 20th,
1990.
Also, the voting address has changed somewhat, the new address is
olorin@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu. However, votes sent to the old address should
still arrive.
( Repeat Announcement of Call for Votes )
In accordance with the current guidelines, this is an official call for
votes regarding the creation of talk.religion.pagan, a moderated
newsgroup.
Proposed Charter
----------------------------------------------------
The newsgroup talk.religion.pagan shall be for the
discussion of issues relating to the pagan community
(pagan in this instance is in reference to both the
older pagan traditions of Native Americans and other
such cultures, as well as the newer "neopagan" traditions
of this century). It is explicitly not a place for
proselytizing or preaching. The newsgroup shall be
moderated, but the moderation is explicitly limited
to the weeding out of off-charter messages (it is by
no means to extend to the editing of messages, or
the removal of messages because of a disagreement
between the moderator and any other party). (The
moderation is only included because that seems to
be the _only_ way to ensure that off-charter attempts
to prosyletize are not posted).
The proposed moderator is olorin@walt.cc.utexas.edu
(Dave Weinstein). In the event that the moderator is
unable to continue moderation, a vote (conducted by
either the present moderator or by a neutral volunteer)
will be held, lasting 21 days, on the newsgroup, to
determine the new moderator (the new moderator will
need to win merely a plurality of the vote; there will
be no run off).
Dates of the vote: December 11, 1989 - January 10, 1990
Vote extended due to system downtime: New deadline January 20, 1990
Send votes to: olorin@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu
Alternative (*should* still work): olorin@walt.cc.utexas.edu
