CHARTER (from ECOLOG-L)  	Owner= [email protected] (David Inouye)  	     This  list is a forum for members of the Ecological  Society 	of   America   and  other  interested  ecologists   to   exchange 	information  about job opportunities, funding opportunities,  and 	Society activities.  It will also serve as a forum for discussion 	of  current (or historical) topics in ecology, about papers  from 	the  Society's  journals  Ecology,  Ecological  Monographs,   and 	Ecological Applications, and as a resource for people looking for 	information about research projects.  COMMENTS  	The gated LISTSERV mailing list, [email protected], has 	approximately 900 subscribers.  This proposal has already been 	discussed favorably in the mailing list;  most ECOLOG-L 	subscribers do not have access to Usenet news, so can not 	participate in the formal discussion in news.groups.  The move 	to sci.bio.ecology.esa is intended to make the group more 	accessible to the Usenet community.

BACKGROUND  	bit.listserv.ecolog-l is an active newsgroup with a gated 	mailing list (ECOLOG-L) of about 900 subscribers.  If the 	proposal passes, the gateway will be modified to reflect 	the change of the newsgroup name.  	The mailing list itself will not be affected by this change.   	The mailing list is sponsored by the Ecological Society of 	America.  It distributes items of interest to ESA members, 	particularly job announcements, and serves as a forum for 	discussion of ecological research, particularly research in 	North America.  	This proposal has been discussed extensively in ECOLOG-L and 	elsewhere.  The discussion period is now closed.  Interested 	latecomers may retrieve copies of all comments from monthly 	ECOLOG-L logs in the LISTSERV archive on UMDD.umd.edu.   HOW TO VOTE  Send e-mail to [email protected] with the Subject "CFV: sci.bio.ecology", and in the body of your e-mail specify either  	I vote YES on sci.bio.ecology or  	I vote NO on sci.bio.ecology  Votes will be accepted until 8 pm Greenwich Mean Time on 7 August.   VOTING RULES  You must use the format specified above because your vote will be tallied using a computer program.  You must vote via e-mail to  [email protected]:  votes sent via the mailing list/newsgroup will *not* be counted.  Only correctly formatted votes received before the time specified above will be accepted.  You may vote only once, no matter how many computer accounts you have.  Forwarded or proxy ballots are not allowed.  If you do vote more than once, only the last vote received will be counted.  This allows you the luxury of changing your mind.  You may vote only on the proposal as stated.  Please do not distribute this CFV.  If you wish to draw attention to the vote, you may inform others that there is a vote underway, and where you saw this CFV.  This CFV will be re-posted during the voting period, to give latecomers a chance to vote.  For a Usenet proposal to pass, there must be at least 100 more YES votes than NO votes and at least 2/3 of all votes must be YES.  Receipt of all votes will be acknowledged.  Once the voting period ends, the votes will be tallied and the results posted in news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, and bit.listserv.ecolog-l.  The results will include a list of all voters and how they voted, so that each voter can verify that his or her vote was counted properly.
