[news.groups] Straw Poll for space politics newsgroup name

ecaxron@ariel.lerc.nasa.gov (Ronald E. Graham) (06/18/91)

I am conducting a straw poll for a name for a proposed new group to 
cover space politics issues.  The charter has been posted under threads
related to the originally-proposed talk.politics.space.  There are two 
other names for this proposed group that have support, each having a 
different placement in the hierarchy.  Here is how I propose the straw
poll be conducted:

o  send your $0.02 via e-mail to me and I will summarize;
o  send me your order of preference if you have one, or a single vote
   if you only care about one name/placement;
o  send me your concern if you are violently opposed to any name, so 
   that I can enter your concern into the summary.

I will score the straw poll as follows:

     2 points for first choice
     1 point for second choice
     0 points for third choice or opposition

The three names under consideration by posters are

     talk.politics.space
     sci.space.policy
     misc.activism.space

And I will summarize this in a week.  Please note: this is not a Usenet
Call for Votes - no group is to be formed as a result of this poll.  It's
just to determine under what name a group is to be formally proposed.
