The voting period for the creation of soc.culture.iranian ended at midnight March 13th, 1990. The newsgroup passes with a vote tally of 251 "yes" and 30 "no" votes. The result meets both the 100 minimum difference and 2:3 ratio requirements. I have included the names of the voters when they were available. The e-mail addresses however, in some cases, are not absolute addresses but addresses offset from my home site. I can not help but to share one of the few comments I have received during the voting period. I thought it was rather funny. >I vote yes for the creation of newsgroup soc.culture.iranian. >P.S. It'll keep all those terrorists off the streets and hacking unix >instead. My thanks to everyone who voted.
