CALL FOR VOTES - SOC.CULTURE.GERMAN
===========================================================================
This is the first formal "call for votes" for the creation of a world-wide,
UNMODERATED soc.culture.german newsgroup on USENET.
The discussion period for creation of soc.culture.german has already
ended and a lot of interest was observed during the discussion period.
The proposed newsgroup is intended to generally provide a medium for those
interested to express, share, and exchange their views, ideas, and feelings
about Germany and Germanic culture.
Possible discussion issues include aspects of Germany
- culture, history, philosophy, ideology, geography;
- societies, traditions, customs;
- literature, poetry, art, folklore;
- languages, books;
- science, technology;
- food, cookery;
- local events, news, programs, economy;
- communities abroad, problems, needs; and
- *things* normally discussed in the "soc.culture" newsgroups.
Postings may be in either English or German, but posters should bear in
mind, regardless of which language they post, that some readers may not be
able to read/translate your postings.
To Vote, send e-mail to:
bob@verdix.com
OR simply reply to this message.
Voting period will last from Feb 28th, until Midnight, March 20th, 1990.
As per USENET newsgroup creation guidelines,
- Votes MUST be explicit; they should be of the form "I vote (YES) for
the creation of newsgroup soc.culture.Germany as proposed" or "I vote
against (NO for) the creation of newsgroup soc.culture.germany as
proposed". The wording doesn't have to be exact, it just needs to be
unambiguous.
In particular, statements of the form "I would vote for this group
if..." are considered COMMENTS and will NOT be counted as votes.
- Only votes that arrive DURING the voting period will be counted.
- ONLY votes E-MAILED to the vote-taker will count.
- Votes POSTED to the net for any reason (including inability to get
mail to the vote-taker) and proxy votes (such as having a mailing
list maintainer claim a vote for each member of the list) will NOT
be counted.
- At the end of the voting period, if 100 more YES/create votes are
received than NO/don't create votes AND at least 2/3 of the total
number of valid votes received are in favor of the creation, a
newgroup control message will be sent out. If the 100 vote margin
or 2/3 portion is not met, the newsgroup will not be created.
I will post a weekly voting reminder.
