The RFD for this group was originated by Bob Wise ([email protected]) and was posted in news.announce.newgroups on August 4th 1992.  Discussion in news.groups in the ensuing 30-day period has been favourable, and no significant objections to the group's name or charter have been raised.  The newsgroup will be constituted as follows:      Name:	comp.sys.stratus      Status:	unmoderated      Charter:    Discussion of Stratus hardware and any and all software 		that runs on it.  Discussion will include Stratus 		hardware badged by other vendors, including the IBM 		System/88 and the Olivetti CPS-32 lines, and will 		include the VOS, FTX I (SVR3) and FTX II (SVR4) 		operating systems and applications executing over those 		operating systems.  Vote addresses:  	"Yes" votes (in support of the formation of comp.sys.stratus as 	described) should be sent to  		[email protected]  	"No" votes (in opposition to the formation of comp.sys.stratus 	as described) should be sent to  		[email protected]  	You may change your vote at any time before the expiry of the 	voting period by simply submitting a new vote.  The last vote 	to be cast by any given individual before the end of the voting 	period will be counted; earlier votes cast by that individual 	will be discarded.  Vote format:  	Votes should carry a subject line confirming the voter's 	intent, either "I vote yes on comp.sys.stratus" or "I vote no 	on comp.sys.stratus" as appropriate.  Variations in subject 	line format will be accepted as long as the intent is clearly 	expressed.  If the vote carries an empty subject line the 	message body will be inspected for confirmation of voting 	intent.  Votes sent as replies to the CFV:  	Votes sent as replies to the originator of this CFV 	([email protected]) will be counted as "yes" or "no" votes 	according to their subject line or message body.  Ambiguous vote resolution:  	Ambiguous votes -- those whose subject lines do not make clear 	the voter's intent, or whose subject line clashes with the vote 	address -- sent to either the vote addresses or the reply 	address will, where possible, be returned to their senders for 	clarification.  Ambiguous votes which can not by returned to 	their senders or for which no clarification is provided will be 	identified in vote mass acknowledgements and in the final vote 	tally.  Voting period:  	Votes will be collected for a period beginning when this CFV is 	approved for publication in news.announce.newgroups and ending 	at midnight on Friday October 2nd 1992.  Votes arriving at the 	voting addresses or the reply address after the expiration of 	the voting period will be discarded.  And remember, it's one person, one vote.

Voting opened on September 4th and closed at midnight on October 2nd 1992.  In that period a total of 203 votes were received, 192 in favour of the creation of the newsgroup and 11 opposing its formation.  One ambiguous vote remained unresolved at the close of voting.  These results exceed the guideline requirements for the formation of a new newsgroup, which are that there be at least 100 more votes in favour of the group than against, and that at least two thirds of the votes be in favour.  The guidelines now call for a five-day waiting period, beginning when this posting appears in news.announce.newgroups, during which objections to the vote tally or vote procedures may be raised.  The appropriate forum for such discussion is news.groups, to which followups have been directed.  If no serious objections are registered by the end of the waiting period the group will be created by David Lawrence, moderator of news.announce.newgroups.

I have no objection to the group in principle, but it would be nice if the vote showed a sufficient of support from users at more than two sites.  --  Tom Fitzgerald   Wang Labs       [email protected]   "I went to the universe today; 1-508-967-5278   Lowell MA, USA                   It was closed...."
