Maybe the time has come to set up another database newsgroup.  The
trouble with COMP.DATABASES is twofold.  Firstly the volume of stuff
posted makes it impossible to read it all, expecially when time is
limited, and secondly, from my point of view (and I suspect others)
most of the postings are too much problem solving ("I've got this
problem with Oracle") and not enough discussion.

How about the following:
	COMP.DATABASE		-	as now
	COMP.DATABASE.THEORY	-	discussion of db theory and paradigms
	COMP.DATABASE.AI        \      
		or               -      discussion of expert databases etc.
	COMP.AI.DATABASE	/	  (if sufficient demand)

CALL FOR VOTES: comp.database.theory

STATUS:         Unmoderated

CHARTER:        Discussion of topics relating to advances in database
                technology including debate on theoretical, prototypical
                and performance aspects of Database Systems, Data Modelling
                and Logical and Physical Database Design.

NOTE:           Specifically excluded are discussions relating to
                implemented DBMS whether commercial or not.

RATIONALE:      The RFD showed two failings of the COMP.DATABASE newsgroup
                which this group will attempt to remedy.

                a.  The number of postings prohibits reading of all the
                    information posted.
                b.  The relevance of many of the postings is limited.

                Note that this is NOT designed to compete with or replace
                the dbworld mailing list.  Clearly calls for papers etc.
                will probably be posted to both. 

MECHANICS:      This vote will run from the time of posting through to 
                23:59 GMT Sunday, 12 April 1992.  Only votes received by
                email as specified below will be counted.  If the vote 
                for the group passes by the usual criteria of 100 more 
                YES than NO and twice as many YES as NO votes, then the
                group will be created.

                Votes and result will be acknowledged en masse in a 
                posting on Wednesday, 22 April 1992.

Maybe the time has come to set up another database newsgroup.  The
trouble with COMP.DATABASES is twofold.  Firstly the volume of stuff
posted makes it impossible to read it all, expecially when time is
limited, and secondly, from my point of view (and I suspect others)
most of the postings are too much problem solving ("I've got this
problem with Oracle") and not enough discussion.

How about the following:
	COMP.DATABASE		-	as now
	COMP.DATABASE.THEORY	-	discussion of db theory and paradigms
	COMP.DATABASE.AI        \      
		or               -      discussion of expert databases etc.
	COMP.AI.DATABASE	/	  (if sufficient demand)

CALL FOR VOTES: comp.database.theory

STATUS:         Unmoderated

CHARTER:        Discussion of topics relating to advances in database
                technology including debate on theoretical, prototypical
                and performance aspects of Database Systems, Data Modelling
                and Logical and Physical Database Design.

NOTE:           Specifically excluded are discussions relating to
                implemented DBMS whether commercial or not.

RATIONALE:      The RFD showed two failings of the COMP.DATABASE newsgroup
                which this group will attempt to remedy.

                a.  The number of postings prohibits reading of all the
                    information posted.
                b.  The relevance of many of the postings is limited.

                Note that this is NOT designed to compete with or replace
                the dbworld mailing list.  Clearly calls for papers etc.
                will probably be posted to both. 

MECHANICS:      This vote will run from the time of posting through to 
                23:59 GMT Sunday, 12 April 1992.  Only votes received by
                email as specified below will be counted.  If the vote 
                for the group passes by the usual criteria of 100 more 
                YES than NO and twice as many YES as NO votes, then the
                group will be created.

                Votes and result will be acknowledged en masse in a 
                posting on Wednesday, 22 April 1992.
        
CASTING VOTES:  Send email to:
                   
                [email protected]
                
                        Stating either:
                   
                I vote FOR the proposal to set up COMP.DATABASE.THEORY     
          
                        or
                I vote AGAINST the proposal to set up COMP.DATABASE.THEORY
