VOTING PERIOD:    Feb. 21 1990 to Mar. 14 1990.  MODERATOR:	  Tom Haapanen ([email protected])  CHARTER:  This moderated group will be used for distribution of binaries for the OS/2 operating system.  The moderation will consist primarily of limiting postings to binaries only, and weeding out any discussion.  The moderator will ensure that binaries are suitably packaged, but will not, in general, do any testing of the submissions.  Commercial software and demos will not be posted.   HOW TO VOTE:  Votes must be sent VIA E-MAIL to one of the following adresses:  If you wish to vote YES:     Internet:		[email protected]     UUCP:		..!uunet!watmath!mims-iris!yes-vote If you wish to vote NO:     Internet:		[email protected]     UUCP:		..!uunet!watmath!mims-iris!no-vote  The vote taker is Tom Haapanen at University of Waterloo ([email protected]).  Clearly indicate whether the vote is for (YES) or against (NO) the proposal, preferably by adding the vote to the subject line.    Voting relates to comp.binaries.os2 as proposed and nothing else; if you disagree on the proposed name or charter, vote NO or abstain - conditional votes like "YES if ..." or "NO unless ..." will be considered void and invalid.  The identity of the voters (E-mail & name) will be extracted from the letters containing the votes by looking at (1) the Reply-To: line if present, or (2) the From: line if it looks OK, or (3) the signature (hopefully this won't be necessary)  The received votes will not be acknowledged individually; rather, mass acknowledgements will be posted in the appropriate newsgroups.  ----                                         \tom haapanen "now, you didn't really expect          [email protected]  my views to have anything to do        watmims research group  with my employer's, did you?"          university of waterloo  "I don't even know what street Canada is on"  -- Al Capone   From [email protected] Tue Feb 18 00:18:39 1992 Flags: 000000000201 From: [email protected] (Tom Haapanen) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.os.os2,comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d Subject: comp.binaries.os2 :  CALL FOR VOTES Date: 27 Feb 90 03:04:45 GMT Reply-To: [email protected] (Tom Haapanen) Distribution: world Organization: WATMIMS Research Group, University of Waterloo Keywords: posted  CALL FOR VOTES:   Create comp.binaries.os2 (moderated).

NOTE ON THE TIMING OF THE VOTE:  The discussion period has indeed exceeded well over four weeks, but I was first absent for two weeks (from Feb. 2nd though 16th), and didn't want to run a vote in absentia.  Subsequently, I posted a call for votes on the 20th of February, but it appears to have been lost in the Big Bit- Bucket in the Sky.  So, contrary to the letter of the guidelines, but conforming to the spirit of the same, here is the Call for Votes.

There were 203 YES votes, and 31 NO votes (86.8% YES).  Thus, the group passes according to the Usenet guidelines.  I will await five days for a huge influx of unrecorded NO votes, and if none such appears, the group will be created on March 26.  Russ Nelson of Clarkson University will archive the postings (thanks, Russ!); any other archive sites would be welcome as well.  Please let me know! OS/2 sources should be posted in comp.sources.misc; Brandon Allbery will welcome them there.  Out of interest, I classified the voters by domain: here they are: 	170	.uucp 	 75	.edu 	 34	.com 	 11	.bitnet 	 15	.uk (United Kingdom) 	 11	.fi (Finland) 	  9	.ca (Canada) 	  4	.nl (Netherlands) 	  3	.au (Australia) 	  2	.se (Sweden) 	  1	.be (Belgium) 	  1	.de (Germany) 	  1	.dk (Denmark) 	  1	.nz (New Zealand)  Thanks for your interest!  (This was the easy part; now for moderating...) A list of voters is attached.
