CALL FOR VOTES : SOC.CULTURE.ITALIAN STATUS : UNMODERATED CHARTER : The purpose of this group is to offer a forum for the discussion of all issues related to the Italian culture, ranging from arts and entertainment to politics and cultural events. PERSONAL COMMENTS : This group has been running under the trial hierarchy for the last five months. Unfortunately, due to the scarce distribution of the trial groups, only a few of the interested readers have been reached by t.s.c.i., it is therefore necessary to allow the creation of s.c.i. under the regular hierachy in order to allow broader access to this much needed group. Even on something like 50 sites, as I estimate, the traffic has been pretty intense on t.s.c.i. for the past 5 months. Furthermore, the Italian Academic Institutions have just recently gained access to USENET, so that an even broader audience is now available for s.c.i. VOTING PROCEDURE : Votes will be now accepted for the period of 30 days, starting on May 28th 1991 and ending on June 26th 1991 at 23:59 UT. Votes shall be mailed to : marino@cs.ucla.edu With the following subject line : YES : soc.culture.italian If you vote for the creation of s.c.i. NO : soc.culture.italian If you vote against the creation of s.c.i. The exact format of the subject line is not important, as long as your vote is unambiguous. This format makes it easier for me to count your vote.
