noren@ncar.ucar.edu (Charles Noren) (07/17/90)

[Voting for this group should end on August 7.]

This is a call for votes to create the news group
comp.lang.objective-c.  This group would be
unmoderated and have the following proposed charter:

  The news group comp.lang.objective-c is chartered
  to discuss questions and issues surrounding the
  Objective-C language,  the compiler, class libraries 
  implemented in and/or accessible from Objective-C,
  tools for the Objective-C environment, interfaces to 
  other software systems, and applications written in 
  Objective-C or usable by Objective-C.

To vote:

 1.  Send e-mail to Chuck Noren at ncar!dinl!noren.

 2.  Put either "comp.lang.objective-c vote" in the subject
     line or "Re: CALL FOR VOTES to create comp.lang.objective-c" 
     (the default response subject).

 3.  In the text body, put either:

      "I vote yes to create comp.lang.objective-c" to vote FOR
      the creation of the news group, or,

      "I vote no to create comp.lang.objective-c" to vote AGAINST
      the creation of the new group.

I will accept any unambiguous vote for or against the creation
of comp.lang.objective-c.  If I see "yes" somewhere in the text 
body, I'll interpret that as a vote for the new group.  If I see 
"no" somewhere in the text body, I'll interpret that as a vote
against the news group.

Schedule for voting:

 1.  Voting period: 21 days from the date of posting.

 2.  Acknowledgement.  About 7 and 14 days after the date of
     posting this call for votes, I will post a mass 
     acknowledgement of the votes so far in news.groups.

 3.  Vote Tally.  At the end of 21 days, I will post a vote
     tally with the initial result of the vote in news.groups.

 4.  Waiting Period.  After the conclusion of the voting
     period, there will be a five day waiting period to correct
     any errors in the voting procedures and voting list.

 5.  After the waiting period, AND if the vote is successful,
     the news group comp.lang.objective-c would be created.
