[news.groups] SECOND CALL FOR VOTES + MASS ACK. - COMP.AI.PHILOSOPHY

frisk@rhi.hi.is (Fridrik Skulason) (08/10/90)

This is the second CALL FOR VOTES for the creation of the newsgroup
comp.ai.philosophy, as well as a mass acknowledgement of votes already
received and counted.

One minor change - In the original CALL FOR VOTES, posted on Aug 1st, I said
the vote would end on August 21st.  As the message did not appear on
news.announce.newsgroups until Aug 5th, the voting period was extended to
August 26th.

VOTING PROCEDURE (unchanged from first call for votes):

          Mail all votes to me, frisk@rhi.hi.is (Fridrik Skulason).
Please state either "Yes, comp.ai.philosophy" or "No, comp.ai.philosophy"
in the Subject: of the message.  Votes posted to comp.ai or news.groups will
not be counted. If the header is substantially different, I can not guarantee
that the vote will be counted.

GROUP CHARTER (unchanged):

Name:		comp.ai.philosophy

Purpose:	To provide a forum for the discussion of the philosophical
                aspect of AI, in particular various thought experiments,
                like the Chinese Room and the Turing Test. Discussion on
                the nature of "thinking" and "understanding", and whether
                computers will ever be able to "think" and "understand"
                belongs here as well.  This group is created to remove
                this discussion from comp.ai.

Moderation:	No.
