                      REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION 
                      ----------------------  

  This is a Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation 
  of a newsgroup to discuss issues and exchange information 
  relating to pharmacy and its allied disciplines.

NEWSGROUP NAME: 
  sci.med.pharmacy

PROPOSED STATUS: 
  Unmoderated 

BACKGROUND: 
  There is evidence of increasing use of network facilities
  by pharmacists. This is demonstrated by the percentage  
  of drug related issues in the existing sci.med news group and  
  the support given to the existing general discussion list,  
  Pharmacy Mail Exchange.   

PURPOSE:
  To provide pharmacists with a forum for the discussion  
  of issues related to the teaching and practice of the  
  profession. It is expected that sci.med.pharmacy would  
  attract contributions from all the major disciplines   
  including pharmacology and pharmaceutical chemistry as well  
  as areas with more direct professional implications such  
  as pharmacy practice and legislation.  

CROSS POSTING:
  It is proposed that cross posting should occur between  
  the news group and the Pharmacy Mail Exchange List. It is 
  expected that all the postings to the list will be transfered   
  to the news group. However the intention is to protect the  
  list, which is distributed to personal mailboxes, against  
  high volume. The control of cross posting, where appropriate, 
  would be by the list co-ordinator.  

SCHEDULE:  
  This RFD was issued on 7th May 1993 and will last for 30 days  
  If consensus is reached by the end of the RFD period, a Call  
  for Votes (CFV) will be issued within 5 days. The voting period  
  will continue for a period of 4  weeks, and end at 23:59 (BST)
  on the 28th day.

                    RESULT : sci.med.pharmacy
                    -------------------------

The voting for the proposed newsgroup sci.med.pharmacy

145 valid votes were received :-

               138  YES votes (in favour of creation)
                 7  NO  votes (against creation)
               ---
               145  Total

than no votes, and that at least two thirds of the votes
are in favour).
