*** This is the final call for votes on the splitting of comp.sys.next *** A discussion was held on news.groups to discuss the feasibility of splitting comp.sys.next. The consensus was for four groups at this time. The groups and their charters are listed below. To vote simply cut the ballot at the end of the proposal and mark y or n to each proposed group or modification. Then send the vote to csn-split@plethora.media.mit.edu, do not send votes anywhere else! Voting ends 23:59:59pm the 30th of June, votes received after that will be ignored. #1 c.s.n.announce (moderated) - This group is for NeXT computer related announcements. This includes, but is not limited to user group meeting announcements, new products relating specifically to the NeXT machine, and other information announcements (such as the FAQ). This group will be moderated, with me as the moderator (there was a volunteer a while back but I have not heard back from him). #2 c.s.n.sysadmin - This unmoderated group will be dedicated to NeXT specific system administration discussions. This includes software configuration, and addition of peripherals to the NeXT computer. #3 c.s.n.programmer - This group will deal with NeXT related programming issues. Questions about porting of code to the NeXT, programming in NeXTStep environment etc... #4 c.s.n.misc - everything else about the NeXT that has no other place. This will result in comp.sys.next to be renamed as comp.sys.next.misc HOW TO VOTE: Simply cut out the ballot below mark Y or N for each item and send to csn-split@plethora.media.mit.edu. Voting will begin June 1 and end on June 30th at 11:59:59pm. Votes received after June 30 will be ignored/bounced. BALLOT ====== * - #1 create comp.sys.next.announce (moderated by Pascal Chesnais) * - #2 create comp.sys.next.sysadmin * - #3 create comp.sys.next.programmer * - #4 rename comp.sys.next to be comp.sys.next.misc For the vote to be consider sucessful there must be at least 100 more yes votes than no votes with at least a 2/3 majority. ---- The following people have voted. The validity of duplicate votes will be determined later. If your name does not appear it means that we did not receive your vote. Votes should be sent to csn-split. Votes sent to me directly will be ignored. "(Simon Leinen)" <simon@liasun5.epfl.ch> "Andrew Abernathy" <drew@wire.raidernet.com> "D. Carpenter" <dcarpent%sju.edu@relay.cs.net> "D.
