From [email protected] Thu Mar 9 08:48:25 1995 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Rob Chambers) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,rec.video.cable-tv,rec.video.satellite.tvro,rec.video.production,sci.electronics,sci.engr,sci.engr.advanced-tv Subject: RFD: sci.engr.television.broadcast and sci.engr.television.advanced Followup-To: news.groups Date: 9 Mar 1995 02:17:33 -0500 Organization: Software Alberta Society, Edmonton, Canada Lines: 94 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: gs2.UU.NET news.announce.newgroups:6396 news.groups:138283 rec.video.cable-tv:12120 rec.video.satellite.tvro:6279 rec.video.production:17721 sci.electronics:123228 sci.engr:14497 sci.engr.advanced-tv:2541 REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD) Newsgroup : sci.engr.television.broadcast Status : unmoderated Distribution : Worldwide Summary : Discussions relating to broadcast tv facility equipment Proponents : Rob Chambers <[email protected]> This is a formal Request For Discussion on the creation of an unmoderated newsgroup entitled sci.engr.television.broadcast, and the renaming of sci.engr.advanced-tv to sci.engr.television.advanced. This RFD has been posted in accordance with the Guidelines for Newsgroup Creation. Its language is based on previously submitted RFDs. This RFD is being cross-posted to the following newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, rec.video.cable-tv, rec.video.satellite.tvro, rec.video.production, sci.electronics, sci.engr, sci.engr.advanced-tv CHARTER: sci.engr.television.broadcast This newsgroup will be used for the technical discussions of equipment relating to the operation of a broadcast television facility. This scope will include equipment that is used to transmit, store, manipulate, or generate broadcast quality signals. Engineering standards, practices and troubleshooting will also be discussed. Recognized groups (such as NAB, SMPTE, etc) will also be encouraged to discuss upcoming conferences and information relating to the broadcast industry. RATIONALE: sci.engr.television.broadcast There is currently two newsgroups that border on the preceding charter, sci.engr.advanced-tv and rec.video.production. A third group, rec.video.professional, is also being proposed by Micheal Silbergleid <[email protected]>. The scope of rec.video.production does not cover the technical aspects of the broadcast quality signal and serves more as an operational and a consumer based group. The sci.engr.advanced-tv group is for technical discussions on the future proposals to change the current television system into a digital or HDTV system. The rec.video.professional proposal is for the operational and business side of the broadcast industry. This group will not contain the indepth technicial and scientific analysis that is being proposed under this RFD. Many broadcast engineers have commented on the lack of an appropriate group to discuss the technicial aspects of the current television systems, this is why this RFD has been created. MAILING LISTS No known lists exist. CHARTER: sci.engr.television.advanced This is the renaming of the current group sci.engr.advanced-tv to sci.engr.television.advanced. The current charter of this group will remain the same. RATIONALE: sci.engr.television.advanced This will allow the advanced-tv group to be included under the new television heirarchy. PROCEDURE Please post any responses to this message to news.groups. If you use the follow-up feature on your newsreader, this should happen automatically. All discussion about the merits of this proposal should occur on news.groups. FUTURE CALL FOR VOTES After a discussion period of 21-30 days, if there are no overwhelming objections to the proposed group, there will be a Call For Votes (CFV) posted to the same groups as this RFD. The voting period will be at least 21 days. If the group passes by receiving 100 more YES votes than NO votes, and (at least) twice as many YES votes as NO votes, it will be created. Do not vote until the CFV has been posted. More specific instructions on how to vote for this newsgroup will be posted within the CFV.

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 name. Basically, remove everything except the ballot - we have to save them all on disk. Give your name on the line that asks for it. Place a YES or NO in the brackets next to the group name to vote for or against it. Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your reply inserts.

Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program. The votetaker will respond to your received ballots with a personal acknowledge- ment by mail - if you do not receive one within several days, try again. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly. If you later change your mind you may vote again; only your last valid vote will count. Standard Guidelines for voting apply: no more than one vote per person, no more than one vote per account. If you attempt multiple votes or other vote fraud, all your votes may be canceled and your name published. The complete vote list will be posted with the vote result, including how each person voted. Note that Usenet votes are not done by secret ballot. There will then be a five-day period during which the published vote list may be corrected and any irregularities addressed. The requirements for group creation are 100 more YES votes than NO votes, and 2/3 of all counted votes being YES.
