                            VOTE TALLY
                                FOR
                call for votes on comp.infosystems
                    provisional score: 190 - 32

On August 30, a call for votes on the creation of 'comp.infosystems'
was sent out:

> Based on an original proposal, and four weeks of discussion (between
> July 7 and August 6), I would like to announce a "call for votes" 
> on the formation of a new newsgroup "comp.infosystems". This newsgroup 
> will be UNmoderated. The purpose of this group will be to provide a 
> forum for the discussion of issues and events which are of interest 
> to the information systems community as a whole.

[...]

> This "call for votes" for comp.infosystems is being issued on August 30,
> 1989, and will last for 30 (thirty) days, ending on September 29, 1989.
> Votes received prior to August 30, 1989, or after September 29, 1989 do 
> not count.

In accordance with the rules, the results of the vote are being posted 
here. Please mail any inconsistencies and omissions to the moderator of 
news.announce.newgroups and to me. In spite of technology, errors always
remain possible :-) . An excerpt from the rules:
> 1) At the completion of the 30 day voting period, the vote taker must post
>    the vote tally and the E-mail addresses and (if available) names of the
>    votes received to news.announce.newgroups and any other groups or mailing
>    lists to which the original call for votes was posted.
> 2) AFTER the vote result is posted, there will be a 5 day waiting period
>    during which the net will have a chance to correct any errors in
>    the voter list or the voting procedure.
> 3) AFTER the waiting period, and if there were no serious objections that
>    might invalidate the vote, and if 100 more YES/create votes are received
>    than NO/don't create, a newgroup control message may be sent out.
>    If the 100 vote margin is not met, the group should not be created.
