This is the VOTE TALLY for the creation of rec.radio.noncomm, a new newsgroup
to provide a forum for the discussion of noncommercial radio
among broadcasters and listeners.

Voting ended March 13, 1990.

YES : 143
NO  :  30

By Usenet Group Creation guidelines, rec.radio.noncomm may be created.
A mass acknowledgement is at the end of this article.  Errors may be 
corrected over the next 5 days until March 19 by sending corrections 
to me.  Some votes (all yes) were received after the deadline and
not counted.  If there are no objections from the YES people,
the word 'noncommercial' will be fully spelled
out.  I chose an abbreviation because of my programming habits.
