	Call for votes: soc.culture.polish

	Yesterday was the last day for discussion on the creation of
soc.culture.polish. Now it is time to vote. Following the how-to-vote
instructions there is a modified group charter. The modifications are 
not very significant to the original proposal. Thanks to all those who
have put in their 2 cents worth. 

	To vote: 
	--------

	Send e-mail to 

		[email protected]   (internet) or
		[email protected]	    (bitnet) 

	and make the subject line a simple 

	soc.culture.polish  YES                 or
	soc.culture.polish  NO 	


	As per UseNET guidelines, the voting period will last from Jan
29, 1990 until Feb 25, 1990. Final vote tally will be posted on 
Feb 26, 1990.

-Michal

	The voting period for the creation of soc.culture.polish had
ended on Feb 25, 1990. Up until that time, a total of 226 votes were
received. 213 of those votes were in favour of creating the newsgroup
and the remaining 13 votes were against. Both criteria for newsgroup
creation were met, ie.

   o  YES votes - NO votes = 213 - 13 = 200 > 100 
   o  Minumum number of YES votes => 2/3 * 226 ~ 151 (actual number of
      YES votes was 213).

	Traditionally, the list of YES voters follows. Following it is
a list on NO voters. My thanks to all of you who have participated in
the process.

	I will pland to create the newsgroup after a week of this
posting (that is on Monday, March 5, 1990). This should give the net
community enough time to review to vote and whatever else that would
finalize the process of creating soc.culture.polish
