RATIONALE: sci.chem.coatings  Currently there is no one place to handle traffic specifically for the discussion of Paints and Coatings.  Postings to the sci.chem group get easily lost among the 50 to 100 daily postings.  Postings to the more manageable sci.polymers (about 10/day) are inappropriate when the discussion involves coatings issues not related to polymers.  CHARTER: sci.chem.coatings  A newsgroup to promote the exchange of ideas and discussion of issues of paints and coatings technology.  Anyone interested will be welcome to join in the discussion about, but not limited to:  -       Polymeric coating resins -       Pigments -       Coatings additives -       Coatings solvents -       Powder coatings -       Professional societies and conferences -       Application techniques for paints and coatings -       Regulatory issues affecting coatings -       Sales and Marketing issues -       Manufacturing of paints -       Packaging and transportation of coatings materials -       Employment opportunities within the coatings industry -       Educational and research resources -       Surface Color  The discussion will be held in English.  FAQ's should be developed for specific areas of interest and will be updated periodically.  Commercial announcements are not permitted as this news group is not intended to be a marketplace.  Although coatings questions for users may or may not receive a response, they are permitted.  The ultimate objective of the news group is to assist coatings practitioners in their craft with a free flowing discussion of current coatings technology.  END CHARTER.  PROCEDURE:  This RFD has been posted in accordance with "Guidelines for Usenet Newsgroup Creation" by Greg Woods, David C. Lawrence and Gene Spafford.  After a discussion period of 21-30 days, if no serious objections are raised, a Call for Votes (CFV) will be issued to the same groups in which this notice appears.  The vote will be tabulated by a neutral third party, who will be selected by the established process.  The voting period will be no less than 21 days.  A successful vote requires that at least 100 more votes are cast for the creation than against, with an overall majority of 2/3 for creation. If both these conditions are met the new group will be announced as soon as practical thereafter.  FINAL WORDS:  Discussion should take place *ONLY* in news.groups.  If you do not normally follow news.groups you should do so for the duration of this RFD.  This is not a Call for Votes.  Please do not cast a vote now.  DISTRIBUTION:  This RFD will be cross posted to the following groups:  news.announce.newgroups news.groups sci.chem sci.polymers sci.engr.lighting sci.research sci.engr.chem  From [email protected] Fri Nov  3 15:14:06 1995 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: Kenneth Herron <[email protected]> Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,sci.chem,sci.engr.chem,sci.engr.lighting,sci.polymers,sci.research Subject: CFV: sci.chem.coatings Followup-To: poster Date: 3 Nov 1995 20:14:02 -0000 Organization: Usenet Volunteer Votetakers Lines: 114 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Expires: 25 Nov 1995 00:00:00 GMT Message-ID: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Archive-Name: sci.chem.coatings Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:7816 news.groups:172542 sci.chem:54530 sci.engr.chem:11340 sci.engr.lighting:3273 sci.polymers:5176 sci.research:10979                       FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)                  unmoderated group sci.chem.coatings  Newsgroups line: sci.chem.coatings	Paints and Coatings practitioners.

HOW TO VOTE  Erase everything above the top "-=-=-=-" line and erase everything below the bottom "-=-=-=-" line.  Do not erase anything between these lines and do not change the group names.  Give your name on the line that asks for it.  For each group, place a YES or NO in the brackets next to it to vote for or against it.  If you don't want to vote on a particular group, just leave the space blank. Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your reply inserts.

One person, one vote.  Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.  Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid; this includes votes generated by WWW/HTML/CGI forms.  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.  Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results post.  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.  Please do not distribute this CFV.  If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted to news.announce.newgroups.  Distributing pre-marked or otherwise edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud.  When in doubt, ask the votetaker.
