VOTING PROCEDURES In order to vote, send a message to [email protected] containing in the Subject: line either `yes' or `no' and 'rec.arts.prose', for example Subject: I vote YES for rec.arts.prose or Subject: I vote NO for rec.arts.prose Letter case does not matter. If you suspect that either your name or address do not appear correctly in the From: field, include them in the body of your letter. The voting period will be from April 15 through May 15, 1993. This message will be posted three times during the period. Only votes received during the period will be counted. No more than one vote from the same address can be sent. Votes posted to a newsgroup will not be counted. VOTE OUTCOME In accordance with the traditions of the Usenet, the newsgroup will be created only if more than 2/3 of the voters vote YES _and_ 100 persons more vote YES than NO. Proposed Charter: ----------------- A group where writers can post short prose fiction. Criticism and suggestions on the fiction posted can be posted on the net in rec.arts.prose or by email to the poster. The group will accomodate discussion of prose fiction in general, similar to the way in which rec.arts.poems allows for posting of poems and discussion. Posters should keep to the normal length of a short story, approximately 800 lines. Novel-length prose fiction should be posted in short chapters over a period of time. Other more technical matters involving writing, such as publication outlets, publishers, journals, and literary agents, are more appropriately discussed in misc.writing. Discussion of literature in general takes place in bit.listserv.literary and rec.arts.books. Copyright --------- As is the case on the Net in general, it is an offence to post copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner. Short pieces can be quoted in a discussion, as is the case in academic work on fiction. Anything posted to the net automatically is copyright protected in countries agreeing to the Berne Convention, and can be republished only with the consent of the author, except where the author expressly releases his posting into the public domain. To make your intentions clear, posters are advised to add a Copyright 199x by Name of the Author to their posting, if they intend to keep copyright. Unmoderated at least initially. ------------------------------- Until such time as the traffic is of such a volume, or there are other reasons for introducing a moderated group, the group will be unmoderated. -- Peter Horn, UCT: [email protected] From [email protected] Wed Apr 28 18:56:21 1993 Path: uunet!tale From: [email protected] (David C Lawrence) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,rec.arts.poems,rec.arts.books,misc.writing,alt.prose,bit.listserv.literary Subject: Cancelled CFV: rec.arts.prose Followup-To: news.groups Date: 27 Apr 1993 16:48:26 -0400 Organization: UUNET Communications Lines: 30 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:3523 news.groups:70960 rec.arts.poems:34505 rec.arts.books:65508 misc.writing:7613 alt.prose:3361 bit.listserv.literary:5609 The current Call for Votes (CFV) for rec.arts.prose is being cancelled due to an inadvertent breach of commonly accepted proper vote taker behaviour. In accordance with established precedent for similar situations, this vote can be restarted immediately. The vote taker targetted individuals who had posted in literature- related groups to receive email copies of the call for votes. Though there is no written guideline against this, which can be considered nothing but a fault, it is generally accepted by those people who are involved with the newsgroup creation process that such solicitation, even when not actively asking for votes in favour of the proposal, causes further bias in the poll. This case was actually quite minor, but had the potential to establish a very bad precedent. Recognizing that this also could lead to much controversy and possibly hurt the chances of creation of the group, the vote taker has elected to step down, while noting his objection to being expected to follow rules that he had never seen documented. A new vote taker, who is familiar with the conduct of USENET newsgroup creation polls, is being solicited to restart this vote. If you would like to volunteer, please send a message to [email protected]. A revised version of the newsgroup creation guidelines is in the works which attempts to clarify and improve on many areas of the current guidelines. They should be available for public review within a month or so, hopefully a few weeks before USENIX.
