This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time. Procedural details are below.  RATIONALE: misc.invest.financial-plan  There are presently no newsgroups dedicated to the subject of financial planning, which integrates the topics of taxation,saving & investing, estate planning, retirement planning and insurance. Although very good discussion groups exist for most of these topics, there is no integration between them and the professionals involved.  Since these topics are interrelated, by discussing them all in one newsgroup the readers can ask integrated questions without seeming to be out of topic or in the wrong group.  The purpose of this group will be to provide a forum where interested parties can exchange ideas, opinions, views and information as it relates to financial planning.  This group is not intended to replace the misc.tax, misc.legal, misc.industry.insurance, and the misc.invest.* newsgroups, but to complement them.  Extensive discussion on any one of the above topics should continue to be limited to the specialty newsgroup involved.  The group will be moderated, mostly to prevent advertising of financial services and financial products. Unfortunately, Usenet has become a hot bed for "get rich quick" schemes, tax protester propaganda and other advertising.  Since there are many topics covered in this newsgroup, I believe that the "quality" of the postings should be maintained.  CHARTER: misc.invest.financial-plan  1. The newsgroup "misc.invest.financial-plan" is intended to provide for well-tempered discussions, including, but not limited to, the interrelated topics listed below:  Financial Planning: -The financial planning process -The role of the financial planner -Financial statements -Development, implementation and review of financial plans  Taxation: - Tax planning and strategies - Current and proposed developments in tax law - Taxation as it relates to a comprehensive financial plan  Saving & Investing: -Budgetary,savings, credit and debt planning - Time value of money -Investment planning -General discussion of investment alternatives -Investment risk -Investment timing -Asset allocation -Fundamental & technical analysis -Savings and investing as related to a comprehensive financial plan  Insurance Planning: -Life insurance -Health insurance -Homeowner's insurance -Automobile insurance -Liability insurance -Disability insurance -Insurance as it relates to a comprehensive financial plan  Retirement Planning: -Pension plans -Profit collaborating plans -IRAs -Retirement income needs -Mentally preparing for retirement -Retirement planning as it relates to a comprehensive financial plan  Estate Planning: -Wills and letters of instruction -Types of property ownership -Trust fundamentals -Estate taxation -Estate preservation and distribution -Estate planning as it relates to a comprehensive financial plan  2. Queries and replies about the above topics are welcome, so long as it is clear that specific legal advice is not being provided.  3. Attorneys, accountants, investment counselors, insurance professionals, financial planning professionals, and other interested persons would have a forum to discuss their interrelated problems and experiences.  4. General discussion concerning the different types of investments would be welcome, however recommendations of specific stocks or investments should not be allowed.  This group could easily be cluttered with "get rich quick" schemes, and there are many other forums designed for this purpose.  5. Discussions regarding existing or proposed legislation relevant to this newsgroup would be welcome.  6. Solicitations, especially for specific financial products or services, would not be welcome.  7. To prevent possible overcrowding, *extensive* discussion in any *one* topic of tax, law, investing and insurance should be limited to the specialty newsgroup involved.  The ordering above is for convenience only and does not reflect a preference ordering among the various topics.  The Role of the Moderator ------------------------------------- 8. Although no legal relationships are created by this document, the moderator is expected to act as if he or she were in a fiduciary relationship with the participants of this newsgroup.  9.The moderator will not permit posts offering professional or other advice, services or products for remuneration.  10. The moderator will use his or her discretion to decide when discussions drift too far from the topics above, or if a participant would further benefit from posting in a specialty newsgroup, such as misc.taxes or misc.legal.   The moderator would request voluntary compliance before taking such actions and will post a notice notifying the group of any such actions.  11. The moderator is encouraged to return posts to senders, perhaps with the suggestion of a more appropriate newsgroup, if the posts are those that he or she believes more properly belong in another newsgroup.  12. The moderator will have the discretion to reject posts containing assertions about the current state of tax or other law which he or she believes are plainly inaccurate.  Any failure of the moderator to exercise this discretion does not signify the moderator's agreement with or approval of the post.  13. A committee of professionals will be established by the moderator to act as an appeals committee to consider any appeals of the moderator's rulings.  Appeals should be directed to the moderator who will pass them on to the reviewing committee.  Moderator Selection and Replacement ----------------------------------------------------  14. A moderator serves until he or she resigns. A moderator may resign at any time. A moderator is requested to give the group adequate notice in order to insure an orderly transition.  15. A moderator may designate a back-up moderator during vacation periods, as long as the group is given adequate notice.  16. A sole moderator may appoint one or more co-moderators. Moderators may share their duties in any manner mutually acceptable.  In the event that the group has multiple moderators, all references to the sole moderator in the above paragraphs shall apply to all of the moderators, collectively, if the context permits.  17. A resigning moderator, whether the sole moderator or co- moderator, may select his or her successor.  Moderators are requested to consider the opinions of readers of the group when choosing their successors.  A resigning co-moderator may, with the unanimous consent of the other moderators, choose not to appoint a successor.  END CHARTER.

The moderator will post a notice notifying the group of such actions.  10. The moderator will have the discretion to add editorial comments to a post that he or she feels is inaccurate. For example:    You can't contribute to an IRA if you're covered by a pension plan.    [Moderator: This is wrong and a common misconception.

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.

(Moderated)  Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 14 Oct 1996.  This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party.  Questions about the proposed group should be directed to the proponent.  Proponent: Susan Wasserman <[email protected]> Mentor: Jonathan Grobe <[email protected]> Votetaker: Bill Aten <[email protected]>  RATIONALE: misc.invest.financial-plan  There are presently no newsgroups dedicated to the subject of financial planning, which integrates the topics of taxation, saving & investing, estate planning, retirement planning and insurance. Although very good discussion groups exist for most of these topics, there is no integration between them and the professionals involved.  Since these topics are interrelated, by discussing them all in one newsgroup the readers can ask integrated questions without seeming to be out of topic or in the wrong group.  The purpose of this group will be to provide a forum where interested parties can exchange ideas, opinions, views and information as it relates to financial planning.  This group is not intended to replace the misc.tax, misc.legal, misc.industry.insurance, and the misc.invest.* newsgroups, but to complement them.  Extensive discussion on any one of the above topics should continue to be limited to the specialty newsgroup involved.  The group will be moderated, mostly to prevent advertising of financial services and financial products.  Unfortunately, Usenet has become a hot bed for "get rich quick" schemes, tax protester propaganda and other advertising.  Since there are many topics covered in this newsgroup, I believe that the "quality" of the postings should be maintained.  CHARTER: misc.invest.financial-plan  1. The newsgroup "misc.invest.financial-plan" is intended to provide for well-tempered discussions, including, but not limited to, the interrelated topics listed below:    FINANCIAL PLANNING    - The financial planning process    - The role of the financial planner    - Financial statements    - Development, implementation and review of financial plans    - Software tools for planning   TAXATION    - Tax planning and strategies    - Current and proposed developments in tax law    - Taxation as it relates to a comprehensive financial plan   SAVING & INVESTING    - Budgetary,savings, credit and debt planning    - Time value of money    - Investment planning    - General discussion of investment alternatives    - Investment risk    - Investment timing    - Asset allocation    - Fundamental & technical analysis    - Savings and investing as related to a comprehensive financial plan   INSURANCE PLANNING    - Life insurance    - Health insurance    - Homeowner's insurance    - Automobile insurance    - Liability insurance    - Disability insurance    - Insurance as it relates to a comprehensive financial plan   RETIREMENT PLANNING    - Pension plans    - Profit collaborating plans    - IRAs    - Retirement income needs    - Mentally preparing for retirement    - Medical and long term care issues    - Retirement planning as it relates to a comprehensive financial plan   ESTATE PLANNING    - Wills and letters of instruction basics    - Types of property ownership    - Trust fundamentals    - Estate taxation    - Estate preservation and distribution    - Estate planning as it relates to a comprehensive financial plan  2. It is never correct to crosspost or multipost and article to this newsgroup and any other newsgroup in the misc.invest.* hierarchy. This does not apply to meta-issues, such as RFDs.  3. Attorneys, accountants, investment counselors, insurance professionals, financial planning professionals, and other interested persons would have a forum to discuss their interrelated problems and experiences.  4. General discussion concerning the different types of investments would be welcome, however recommendations of specific stocks or investments should not be allowed.  This group could easily be cluttered with "get rich quick" schemes, and there are many other forums designed for this purpose.  5. Discussions regarding existing or proposed legislation relevant to this newsgroup would be welcome.  6. Solicitations, especially for specific financial products or services, would not be welcome. Commercial references in the signature lines are acceptable, as long as the body of the post makes a substantive contribution.  7. To prevent possible overcrowding, *extensive* discussion in any *one* topic of tax, law, investing and insurance should be limited to the specialty newsgroup involved.  The ordering above is for convenience only and does not reflect a preference ordering among the various topics.  The Role of the Moderator ------------------------------------- 8. The moderator will not permit posts offering professional or other advice, services or products for remuneration, except for signature lines as described in item 6.  9. The moderator will use his or her discretion to decide when discussions drift too far from the topics above, or if a participant would further benefit from posting in a specialty newsgroup, such as misc.taxes or misc.legal.   The moderator may return a post, suggesting a more appropriate newsgroup, post warnings when discussion starts to drift off-topic, and may close down discussions when they are clearly off- topic. The moderator will post a notice notifying the group of such actions.  10. The moderator will have the discretion to add editorial comments to a post that he or she feels is inaccurate. For example:    You can't contribute to an IRA if you're covered by a pension plan.    [Moderator: This is wrong and a common misconception. See the FAQ.]  Moderator Selection and Replacement ----------------------------------------------------  11. A moderator serves until he or she resigns. A moderator may resign at any time. A moderator is requested to give the group adequate notice in order to insure an orderly transition.  12. A moderator may designate a back-up moderator during vacation periods, as long as the group is given adequate notice.  13. A sole moderator may appoint one or more co-moderators. Moderators may share their duties in any manner mutually acceptable.  In the event that the group has multiple moderators, all references to the sole moderator in the above paragraphs shall apply to all of the moderators, collectively, if the context permits.  14. A resigning moderator, whether the sole moderator or co- moderator, may select his or her successor.  Moderators are requested to consider the opinions of readers of the group when choosing their successors.  A resigning co-moderator may, with the unanimous consent of the other moderators, choose not to appoint a successor.  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!

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.
