I hope that all os/2 users will vote yes on this. I have talked to
the future moderator and we will be staying in touch and cooperating,
including clean cross posting of programs in "family mode" which can
run on both DOS and os/2.

"Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -metom@mims-iris.waterloo.edu (Tom Haapanen) (03/14/90)
CALL FOR VOTES: Create comp.binaries.os2 (moderated).
VOTING PERIOD: Feb. 27 1990 to Mar. 20 1990.
MODERATOR: Tom Haapanen (tom@mims-iris.waterloo.edu)
CHARTER:
This moderated group will be used for distribution of binaries for
the OS/2 operating system.
The moderation will consist primarily of limiting postings to binaries
only, and weeding out any discussion. The moderator will ensure that
binaries are suitably packaged, but will not, in general, do any testing
of the submissions. Commercial software and demos will not be posted.
NOTE ON THE TIMING OF THE VOTE:
The discussion period has indeed exceeded well over four weeks, but I
was first absent for two weeks (from Feb. 2nd though 16th), and didn't
want to run a vote in absentia. Subsequently, I posted a call for votes
on the 20th of February, but it appears to have been lost in the Big Bit-
Bucket in the Sky. So, contrary to the letter of the guidelines, but
conforming to the spirit of the same, here is the Call for Votes.
HOW TO VOTE:
Votes must be sent VIA E-MAIL to one of the following adresses:
If you wish to vote YES:
Internet: yes-vote@mims-iris.waterloo.edu
UUCP: ..!uunet!watmath!mims-iris!yes-vote
If you wish to vote NO:
Internet: no-vote@mims-iris.waterloo.edu
UUCP: ..!uunet!watmath!mims-iris!no-vote
The vote taker is Tom Haapanen at University of Waterloo
(tom@mims-iris.waterloo.edu).
Clearly indicate whether the vote is for (YES) or against (NO) the
proposal, preferably by adding the vote to the subject line.
Voting relates to comp.binaries.os2 as proposed and nothing else; if
you disagree on the proposed name or charter, vote NO or abstain -
conditional votes like "YES if ..." or "NO unless ..." will be
considered void and invalid.
The votes will be acknowledged in a mass posting at the close of
voting. Individual acknowledgements will be sent if explicitly requested.
The identity of the voters (E-mail & name) will be extracted from the
letters containing the votes by looking at
(1) the Reply-To: line if present, or
(2) the From: line if it looks OK, or
(3) the signature (hopefully this won't be necessary)
The received votes will not be acknowledged individually; rather, mass
acknowledgements will be posted in the appropriate newsgroups.
