[Voting for this group should end on August 7.] This is a call for votes to create the news group comp.lang.objective-c. This group would be unmoderated and have the following proposed charter: The news group comp.lang.objective-c is chartered to discuss questions and issues surrounding the Objective-C language, the compiler, class libraries implemented in and/or accessible from Objective-C, tools for the Objective-C environment, interfaces to other software systems, and applications written in Objective-C or usable by Objective-C. To vote: 1. Send e-mail to Chuck Noren at ncar!dinl!noren. 2. Put either "comp.lang.objective-c vote" in the subject line or "Re: CALL FOR VOTES to create comp.lang.objective-c" (the default response subject). 3. In the text body, put either: "I vote yes to create comp.lang.objective-c" to vote FOR the creation of the news group, or, "I vote no to create comp.lang.objective-c" to vote AGAINST the creation of the new group. I will accept any unambiguous vote for or against the creation of comp.lang.objective-c. If I see "yes" somewhere in the text body, I'll interpret that as a vote for the new group. If I see "no" somewhere in the text body, I'll interpret that as a vote against the news group. Schedule for voting: 1. Voting period: 21 days from the date of posting. 2. Acknowledgement. About 7 and 14 days after the date of posting this call for votes, I will post a mass acknowledgement of the votes so far in news.groups. 3. Vote Tally. At the end of 21 days, I will post a vote tally with the initial result of the vote in news.groups. 4. Waiting Period. After the conclusion of the voting period, there will be a five day waiting period to correct any errors in the voting procedures and voting list. 5. After the waiting period, AND if the vote is successful, the news group comp.lang.objective-c would be created. -- Chuck Noren NET: ncar!dinl!noren US-MAIL: Martin Marietta I&CS, MS XL8058, P.O.
