The vote ended on the 23rd of December and votes (1) after which were not  counted. Surprisingly, ORACLE Corp. did not flood the voting.  A total of 305 people voted: no. of yes votes was 283 and no. of NO vote=22. The numbers meet the criteria for a successful vote by a wide margin.          YES - NO = 261 > 100    and         YES>> 2 x NO  I believe the moderator will issue the newgroup command in the near future. Thank you.   Daryl Erwin Wilfrid Laurier University ([email protected])  P.S. I apologize if I didn't save the "correct" name portion of the mail article - I fealt the date and userid were the important things. [[ Traditionally, it _should_ be the "From:" header and not the Unix mailbox "From" line.  The Guidelines stipulate as much, though liberal interpretation would allow for this form.  I am accepting the results of this poll. -- tale ]]  *** People voted NO for creating a comp.databases.oracle newsgroup*** From: watmath!wynnds.xenitec.on.ca!timk (Tim Kuehn) From: [email protected] (Carl Rigney) >From [email protected] Mon Nov 25 21:27:59 1991 >From [email protected] Tue Nov 26 09:26:56 1991 >From @hp4nl.nluug.nl,@helios,@rivm.nl:[email protected] Tue Nov 26 09:09:26 1991 >From [email protected] Tue Nov 26 09:30:56 1991 >From [email protected] Tue Nov 26 11:25:38 1991 >From [email protected] Tue Nov 26 23:57:03 1991 >From [email protected] Thu Nov 28 04:56:40 1991 >From [email protected] Wed Nov 27 13:58:53 1991 >From @ugw.utcs.utoronto.ca,@relay.cs.utoronto.ca,@amdahl.uts.amdahl.com:[email protected] Mon Nov 25 11:08:48 1991 >From [email protected] Sun Dec  1 19:10:24 1991 >From [email protected] Sun Dec  1 23:27:47 1991 >From @ugw.utcs.utoronto.ca,@relay.cs.utoronto.ca:[email protected] Mon Dec  2 20:44:40 1991 >From [email protected] Tue Dec  3 13:07:15 1991 >From [email protected] Mon Dec  9 18:33:34 1991 >From [email protected] Mon Dec  9 09:49:50 1991 >From @MCC.COM:[email protected] Wed Dec 11 10:46:39 1991 >From [email protected] Thu Dec 12 12:27:21 1991 >From @ean-relay.ac.uk,@doc.imperial.ac.uk:[email protected] Thu Dec 12 10:45:18 1991 >From [email protected] Sat Dec 14 00:30:56 1991 >From [email protected] Fri Dec 20 16:39:08 1991  ***People voted YES for creating a comp.databases.oracle newsgroup*** From: Pastuch W D <[email protected]> From: "RON POOL" <[email protected]> From: [email protected] (Mr. Coates -- Xibo) From: [email protected] (E.

Name:       comp.databases.oracle (similar to comp.databases.informix)  Charter:    Discussions on topics related to the Oracle database and             its related products. (ie. SQL*Forms, SQL*Plus, SQL*Calc,             (SQL*CASE, SQL*Rep, SQL*Reportwriter, etc....).  All platforms             including Unix, VAX, PC, etc. The news group can also be used             to gateway the Oracle-L mailling list but NOT replace the              mailing list.  Status:     unmoderated ========================================================================  I have no experience in setting up a group, but my understanding is that a 2 week discussion period must follow this RFD. In order for a group to be  accepted, there has to be at least 100 more YES votes than NO votes and at least twice as many YES votes than NO votes.  I would like to know who wants to collect the votes. I have no experience in this and there exists probably a program which can keep track of the YES and NO votes of each voter.

A total of 305 people voted: no. of yes votes was 283 and no. of NO vote=22. The numbers meet the criteria for a successful vote by a wide margin.

comp.databases.oracle.server             unmoderated group comp.databases.oracle.tools  Newsgroups lines: comp.databases.oracle.marketplace	Oracle-related jobs, etc. comp.databases.oracle.misc	Oracle related topics. comp.databases.oracle.server	Oracle database administration/server topics. comp.databases.oracle.tools	Oracle software tools/applications.  Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 4 Oct 1996.  This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party.  Questions about the proposed group should be directed to the proponent.  Proponent: Steve Cosner <[email protected]> Proponent: SV Singam <[email protected]> Mentor: Jonathan Grobe <[email protected]> Votetaker: Bill Aten <[email protected]>  RATIONALE: all groups  The group comp.databases.oracle exists for posting a wide variety of articles related to the Oracle database and associated tools.  This is an active group with 100 to 300 articles posted each day.  The articles are generally quite specific, dealing with the Oracle database, administration of databases, management of tables, optimization of indexes, problems related to Oracle Forms, development tools in general, ways to improve screen design and so on.  There are also a large number of postings on Oracle related jobs.  The separation of these topics into relevant groups will improve the efficiency of these groups.  It will facilitate reading and answering articles for those who have a more specific area of interest.  A straw poll taken within the comp.databases.oracle news group indicates that a large majority favors splitting the group.  RATIONALE: comp.databases.oracle.marketplace  This news group should provide a specific place for those interested in the Oracle-related job market, as well as any other Oracle- related products and services for sale or wanted.  Creation of this group will provide relief to the many readers of the news group who are annoyed by the large number of commercial advertisement postings.  RATIONALE: comp.databases.oracle.misc (renames comp.databases.oracle)  This group will provide a forum for topics which do not fall within any more specific comp.databases.oracle subgroup.  Renaming the group should better define the subjects of articles posted there. The .misc suffix will help people reading the news group understand that it is a catch-all for miscellaneous topics.  The straw poll indicated that many preferred to keep comp.databases.oracle, with no name change.  However, a larger percentage preferred to rename the group.  This has been a topic of heated discussions in other groups within the Usenet.  It is the decision of the proponents to go with the majority, with the hope that this will not cause too much controversy here.  RATIONALE: comp.databases.oracle.server  This group will be a channel for database-administration-specific topics, a major area of Oracle discussions.  The "server" suffix was chosen by a majority of respondents to a straw poll taken in comp.databases.oracle.  It was felt that this name would be most understandable to everyone working with the Oracle database software, since the server is the most commonly used term for the computer system where the actual database data is maintained.  The suffix for this newsgroup has been a major problem in this reorganization.  Both dba and admin have been suggested, as well as the proposed server.  It has been pointed out that admin would be confused with computer administration, business administration, or administration of the comp.databases.oracle.* newsgroups.  It is felt that the dba suffix is less desirable than server because it is an acronym, usually discouraged in newsgroup names. Additionally, the dba suffix may discourage those who are not database administrators from participating in the group, as they may feel that it is an exclusive group for DBA's only.  RATIONALE: comp.databases.oracle.tools  This group will provide a forum to discuss the wide range of tools and applications available from or for Oracle, which is now a major area of interest and generates much news group traffic.  CHARTER: all groups  Cross-posting articles to multiple comp.databases.oracle.* newsgroups should be avoided.  If there is any question as to which group should be used, post to comp.databases.oracle.misc (assuming it is created).  While some news servers deliver a cross-posted article to the reader only once, many others deliver the article an additional time for each group the reader accesses.  END CHARTER.  CHARTER: comp.databases.oracle.marketplace  Comp.databases.oracle.marketplace is a news group provided for commercially oriented topics of interest to people using Oracle software.  This group includes but is not limited to articles covering the following topics:      jobs available      positions wanted      services offered      software or hardware wanted or available for sale      books and other literature available      announcements of new products  Posting jobs available to any other comp.databases.oracle newsgroups should be avoided.  END CHARTER.  CHARTER: comp.databases.oracle.misc  Comp.databases.oracle.misc is a news group where topics generally related to the use of software from Oracle Corporation may be posted.  This group provides a forum for topics which do not fall within any of the more specific comp.databases.oracle subgroups.  This news group is not intended as a marketplace where employment advertisements or commercial announcements may be posted.  These should be directed to comp.databases.oracle.marketplace (unless it is not created by the CFV).  END CHARTER.  CHARTER: comp.databases.oracle.server  Comp.databases.oracle.server is a newsgroup to discuss Oracle server and database administration subjects.  Any topic which is especially of interest to those performing database or system administration duties is welcome in this group.  Discussions of software and applications designed to aid in database administration should be carried in this group.  The following list is a sample of topics which are included in this news group:     Oracle database or server installation     Database creation and development     Database administration, tuning, monitoring     Techniques for more efficient access     Importing and Exporting data     Tools and applications designed to aid in database       administration.  END CHARTER.  CHARTER: comp.databases.oracle.tools  Comp.databases.oracle.tools is a news group provided for discussion of software applications and tools available from Oracle Corporation, or designed to work with Oracle applications.  Developers of end-user applications will find this newsgroup most useful.  This group includes but is not limited to articles discussing applications and topics such as the following:     Oracle Developer 2000 (Forms, Reports, Graphics)     Designer 2000     The SQL Language, SQL Plus, PL/SQL     Training and books  Due to the wide variety of applications which are discussed in this group, each article title should begin with the application it involves (examples:  Forms4.5:  Reports2.5:  SQL/Plus:  etc.)  Do not use general titles such as "A simple question".  If the comp.databases.oracle.server newsgroup is created in this reorganization, then discussions of tools and applications designed for use by database administrators should be carried on in the .server newsgroup, and not the .tools group.  END CHARTER.  HOW TO VOTE:  Extract the ballot from the CFV by deleting everything before and after the "BEGINNING OF BALLOT" and "END OF BALLOT" lines.  Don't worry about the spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your reply inserts.  PLEASE, do not send the entire CFV back to me as this mail is archived.  Mark the ballot and then MAIL it to: <[email protected]> Just "replying" to this message should work, but check the "To:" line.  In order to properly record your vote, please provide your REAL NAME and indicate your desired vote in the appropriate locations inside the ballot.  Examples of how to properly indicate your vote:       [ YES     ]  example.yes.vote      [ NO      ]  example.no.vote      [ ABSTAIN ]  example.abstention      [ CANCEL  ]  example.cancellation                           *** PLEASE *** DO NOT alter, modify, or delete any other information in this ballot! If you do, the voting software will probably reject your vote.   ===== BEGINNING OF BALLOT: Delete everything BEFORE this line ===== ------------------------------------------------------------------- comp.databases.oracle Reorg Ballot  (Do not remove this marker!) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Please provide your real name, or your vote may be rejected.  Place ONLY your name (ie. do NOT include your e-mail address or any other information; ONLY your name) on the next line beside "Voter name:". Voter name: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Insert YES, NO, ABSTAIN, or CANCEL inside the brackets for each newsgroup listed below (do not delete the newsgroup name):   Your Vote   Newsgroup  ---------   --------- [         ]  comp.databases.oracle.marketplace [         ]  comp.databases.oracle.misc (renames comp.databases.oracle) [         ]  comp.databases.oracle.server [         ]  comp.databases.oracle.tools ------------------------------------------------------------------- ===== END OF BALLOT: Delete everything AFTER this line ============   IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:  Standard Guidelines for voting apply.  Only one vote per person, no more than one vote per account.  Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.  Anonymous, forwarded, or proxy votes are not valid.  Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered to be anonymous votes.  Vote counting is automated.  Failure to follow these directions may mean that your vote does not get counted.  If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three days, contact the votetaker about the problem.  It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.  Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote.  Names, addresses, and votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results post.  DO NOT redistribute this CFV in any manner whatsoever.  The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons who would read a proposed newsgroup.  Soliciting votes from disinterested parties defeats this purpose.  Only the votetaker, the news.announce.newgroups moderator, and the proponent (if specifically authorized by the votetaker) are permitted to distribute copies of this CFV.  Distribution of pre-marked or otherwise modified copies of this CFV is generally considered voting fraud and should be reported immediately to the votetaker or the UVV <[email protected]>.  In cases where voting fraud is determined to have occurred, it is standard operating procedure to delete ALL votes submitted by the violator.  When in doubt, ask the votetaker.  DISTRIBUTION:  The only official sources for copies of this CFV are the locations listed below and the votetaker's e-mail CFV server which can be reached at <[email protected]>.  This CFV has been cross-posted to:   news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, comp.databases.oracle
