*** 2nd CALL FOR VOTES ON THE SPLITTING OF COMP.SYS.NEXT and ACK *** Voting is in progress for the splitting of comp.sys.next Votes should be sent to csn-split@plethora.media.mit.edu. Please do not send NeXT attachments (it means more work for me!) The proposed groups and their charters are listed below. Copy the ballot and put y or n before each item and send it to csn-split@plethora.media.mit.edu #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 A final call for votes will be issued June 24th as a last reminder. 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 votes were received. No checks for duplicates or wrong entries have been made yet. "(Simon Leinen)" <simon@liasun5.epfl.ch> "Andrew Abernathy" <drew@wire.raidernet.com> "D.
