CALL FOR VOTES to create newsgroup soc.culture.indian.american
STATUS: unmoderated
CHARTER: Discussion about all social, political and cultural
topics related to USA citizens and Permanent Residents
of Asian Indian background/ancestry.
RATIONALE (copied from the final RFD):
It appears, from the discussion that has gone on so far in news.groups,
that there is a need for a place to discuss issues which affect the
lives of USA citizens and permanent residents who are of Asian Indian
background. It is believed that many of these issues are very different
in scope and nature than those discussed in the soc.culture.indian group
and would be better addressed by the creation of a new group.
VOTING PERIOD
The voting period starts when this CFV is posted and lasts for 21 days.
Votes received after 24:00 GMT on ........ will not be counted.
HOW TO VOTE
Vote by sending mail to votes@bnr.co.uk, with the word YES or NO (case
immaterial) in the subject line. If you use rn or a similar news reader,
you can use r (reply), edit YES or NO into the Subject line, and mail.
Then your vote would appear as one of the following:
Subject: YES soc.culture.indian.american
Subject: NO soc.culture.indian.american
Votes which do not contain yes or no in the Subject line, or which are sent
to me instead of 'votes', will cause me extra work but will still be counted
if unambiguous. Ambiguous votes and any posted votes will not be counted.
If your mailer will not accept mail to the above address try
votes%bnr.co.uk@uunet.uu.net or ...uunet!mcsun!stl!votes
Votes will be acknowledged by mail, but any acknowledgement that bounces
will not be re-tried. There will also be at least one mass acknowledgement
posting to news.groups. The final vote tally will be posted at the end of
the vote, including a list showing how everyone voted.
If you vote more than once only the most recent vote received will be
counted as valid.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
soc.culture.indian.american already exists; why are we voting again?
There were a number of concerns about the way the original vote was
conducted, so it has not been listed as an official Usenet group, and
many news administrators have not created it on their systems. This
vote will settle the question one way or the other.
If the vote passes, will soc.culture.indian.american be accepted?
David Lawrence will send out a newgroup message, and the group will
be added to Gene Spafford's list of groups. News admins will be asked
to carry the group; as usual they have the final say over their systems.
If the vote fails, what will happen to soc.culture.indian.american?
News admins will be asked to remove the group.
Discussions currently in SCIA could continue in soc.culture.indian
Why does the group not have a different name?
Because when the suggested names were put to a straw poll in
news.groups, soc.culture.indian.american had the largest support.
As it is for American citizens/residents, why is it not a usa. group?
The original proposal for this news group long pre-dates the usa.
proposals, and the usa. distribution is not established yet. Also,
soc.culture.indian.american already exists on many systems and its
status needs to be resolved.
Why are you taking the vote when JLM did all the work during the discussion?
Because he asked me to. It has been agreed that it would be best for
this re-vote to be carried out by someone not directly involved, and I
volunteered. I am neither Indian nor American, and I shall not be
casting a vote either way on this proposal.
Why didn't the CFV come out last week as it was supposed to do?
Sorry about that; I was too busy being active in a *real* election,
about who'll rule the UK for the next 4-5 years. (FYI, I was part of
the 57% who lost).

VOTES UNDER INVESTIGATION
Before giving the list of voters to date, I must regretably inform you all
that there appear to have been irregular votes from one location, both
multiple voting and personation (voting in the name of another user).
I am investigating this, and until I can confirm which votes from that
location are genuine I am not counting any of them. Here as an example
are three of the votes I am not accepting without further investigation:
DSG4207 <DSG4207@TAMZEUS.earn>
Dilawar Grewal <dsg4207@tamsun.tamu.edu>
b473dg@tamuts.tamu.edu (Dilawar Grewal)
MASS VOTE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Excluding votes under investigation, 172 votes from 153 different host
addresses have been recieved to date, as at 23:00 GMT on 4th May 1992.

RESULT
The vote on soc.culture.indian.american has FAILED by 85 YES to 173 NO votes.
The total of 258 votes came from 217 different host addresses.
There will be a five day period for corrections, but unless they alter the
result massively, the group will not be created. In fact, the group already
exists at many sites, so as stated in the CFV news admins will be asked to
remove the group and/or alias it to soc.culture.indian. David Lawrence
will send out the rmgroup message in due course.
Few "Yes" voters provide comments, but quite often "No" voters do. In this
case, a few people voted no because they objected to Alok, some said that the
group was not needed (soc.culture.india would suffice), but most comments were
that the name was unsuitable. One voter "would have voted yes for a usa.*
group". Some said that the name caused too much confusion with the indigenous
American peoples, and a few voters identified themselves as being from one of
the indigenous tribes.
VOTE VALIDATION
Many of you will remember that when this group was voted on a few months ago,
sufficient people felt that the vote was flawed that the group was not
accepted by many news administrators, nor did it appear in Gene Spafford's
newsgroup list.
My objective in running the re-vote was to carry out an impartial and accurate
poll, in order to settle the status of the group one way or the other. In doing
this, I decided to check the votes very carefully, and obtain some form of
confirmation on the few that appeared suspicious. In fact had I been less
careful the overall result would have been the same, but I felt it important
to operate as if the result was going to be close. Thank you for your
patience while I have been making these checks.
In the second CFV I stated:
> If you vote more than once from the same address, only the most recent vote
> received will be counted as valid. If you vote more than once from
> different sites in an apparent attempt at a vote fraud, I may reject all
> your votes, and publish the fact and your name to the net.
Sending multiple votes from different accounts in the hope that the vote
taker will not notice is, in my opinion, a fraudulent practice. Anyone
who does this should not be allowed to benefit by it.
There were several duplicate votes, including people who changed their minds;
that is of course allowed. However, there were a few cases of duplicate
votes from different addresses, and where I was able to detect these I queried
them. One was clearly an honest mistake; in another case the voter claimed
that his other account "must have been used by a friend" so I counted his
vote once and dropped the vote which he claimed had been forged in his
name. That left two people, both of whom replied to my mail but did not
validate their votes.
The "votes" that I am not counting are:
Voted YES twice (and claimed that there was no rule against it):
raju_ramakrishnan@brown.edu ) Known to be the same person
st801405@brownvm.brown.edu ) (Did the same thing on SCIA straw poll)
Voted NO 3 times (and refused to provide validation information):
DSG4207 <DSG4207@TAMZEUS.earn>
Dilawar Grewal <dsg4207@tamsun.tamu.edu>
b473dg@tamuts.tamu.edu (Dilawar Grewal)
One person initially told me he had not sent me any vote (and thus his mail
had been forged). Two weeks later he changed his statement and said he HAD
voted but had forgotten doing it, and provided validation information which a
forger would probably not have known, so I have counted his vote.
In the meantime I had asked validation questions from all other voters from
his site. I thank them here for providing the information I requested.
One withdrew their vote rather than validate it, so it does not appear below.

I would like to start a discussion on the formation of a new group
soc.culture.indian.american on the USENET. It is proposed that this group
would deal with the following:
1) Cultural aspects of the Indians settled, born or raised in America.
2) Career and work related issues affecting them
3) Entertainment and events of mutual interest
4) Family unification, citizenship, rights, grievances, advice etc.
5) Indian and international food recipes
6) Dating, marriage, division of work/responsibilities issues
7) Views of Indian-Americans about contemporary India and Indian heritage
8) American politics/society and Indian-Americans
9) Relations with other *-Americans (Chinese-Americans, Italian-Americans etc)
10) Travelling/sight-seeing, Vacationing experiences
11) Programs/Proposals for development in India
12) Programs/Proposals for building stronger links with other Indians (Who
are studying or are here on temporary basis and have not yet immigrated)
etc.
It is proposed that the group be unmoderated.
