VOTE TALLY and MASS ACKNOWLEDGMENT
FOR
comp.sys.m88k
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the
voting process. I hope that the level of support and enthusiasm
expressed in many of the votes translates into interesting and
informative discussions in the news group. The tally translates
as 95.6% in favor, 4.4% opposed with a plurality of 125 votes in
favor of group creation.
Apropos of the current discussion on voting rules, almost all of the
votes were received within the first two weeks of the CALL FOR VOTES.
Now for the obligatory background
On September 23, the following call for votes was issued:
> CALL FOR VOTES: New Group: comp.sys.m88k
>
> After a successful discussion period (thank all of you for your
> comments), it has been decided that enough interest exists to put
> comp.sys.m88k to a vote. Accordingly, the voting period will begin
> September 25, 1989 and will end October 23, 1989. Votes received
> after October 23 will not be counted. The voting procedure is simply
> to send a bodiless message to one of the two addresses below.
>
> Please mail yes votes to ...uunet!88opensi!yes.m88k
> Please mail no votes to ...uunet!88opensi!no.m88k
In accordance with the rules, the results of the vote are being posted
here. Please email any inconsistencies and omissions to the moderator of
news.announce.newgroups and to me (signature at end). To make validation
easier, I have attempted to regularize the name/path information and have
stripped the common "uunet!" prefix from all of the paths to save a bit
of space.
