Charter:
	Comp.sys.unisys is intended for discussion of systems sold
	under the "Unisys" name, including former Sperry, Burroughs,
	and Convergent Technologies machines.  Unisys software such as
        Mapper is also welcome.  Most of the discussion of relabelled
        third-party UNIX equipment such as the Convergent Technologies
        386 PC-clone based boxes or the Arix and Sequent minis would be
        expected to go on in comp.unix or comp.sys.sequent.

The newsgroup will be unmoderated.

Voting Period

The voting period starts when this is posted and lasts for 28 days.
Votes received after 24:00 GMT on Sunday 3rd February will not be counted.

How to vote

Vote by sending mail to [email protected], with the word YES or NO
(case immaterial) in the subject line.  If you use rn or a similar news
reader, you can use r (reply), add YES or NO to the Subject line, and mail.
Then your vote would appear as one of the following:
Subject: Re: CALL FOR VOTES: comp.sys.unisys YES
Subject: Re: CALL FOR VOTES: comp.sys.unisys NO

Votes which do not contain yes or no in the Subject line, or which are sent
to me instead of 'votes', will cause me extra work but will still be counted
if unambiguous.  Ambiguous votes and any posted votes will not be counted.

If your mailer will not accept mail to the above address try
votes%[email protected] or ...uunet!mcsun!stl!votes
You could even send me X.400 mail at the address given in my signature.

Votes will be acknowledged by mail, but any acknowledgement that bounces
will not be re-tried.  However I will also acknowledge by a mass posting
to news.groups.  The final vote tally will be posted at the end of the
vote, including a list showing how everyone voted.

Credit where it's due department

Peter da Silva supplied the group charter shown above.  This particular
discussion on having a Unisys group was started by Craig Wilson.

Vote Taker's credentials

I have no personal interest in whether there is a Unisys group or not - I
don't work for, sell or even use any Unisys systems.   I volunteered to take
the vote because Craig didn't want to, and I had objected to alt.unisys on
the grounds that it should really go for voting as comp.sys.unisys rather
than become an alt group just because nobody could be bothered to carry out
a vote.  Anyway I haven't done one recently :-)

Summary of discussion

The Call for Discussion was posted to news.announce.newgroups a month ago.
At the time I said I'd call the vote in two weeks time unless someone had a
good reason to delay it: I promptly got such a reply citing "Christmas".

As to actual discussion, there has been very little, almost all in favour.
The only question is whether enough people actually want the group:
the vote will settle that.

The results are now in for comp.sys.unisys:     103 YES    9 NO

There were also two entries which didn't state how they wanted to vote, and
four late votes (3 YES, 1 NO); these have not been included in the result. 

Subject to ratification, the vote therefore FAILS by 6 votes,
as there must be a majority of 100 for the group to be created.
The majority must also be >66%, but that was not a problem here (92%).

Unless there have been a significant number of votes lost, or other
irregularities, and these are reported within the next 5 days, the
group will not be created.

A full list of all accepted votes is appended, followed by an analysis
of voting by site.   The "site vote" was 73 : 9, and no site voted both ways.


Comment
-------

The vote suffered by lack of 'mid-term' publicity in news.announce.newgroups
because the moderator was away - the 2nd CFV only went to news.groups,
comp.misc and comp.sys.misc.  How significant this was cannot be known -
probably it would have made a few votes difference.  6?
There was certainly a boost to the voting rate after the second posting.

On the other hand, I did run the vote for 4 weeks (many now run for 3, the
minimum allowed), and of course the original CFV was in n.a.n.  So everyone
who really cared should have known about it. 

None of the NO voters gave any comment on their reasons.   A few YES voters
did, typically that they were users and would benefit from talking to each 
other.  I also received a comment from a Unisys person saying that the group 
would be good both for them and for their users.   A pity it won't happen.

N.B. the comment about the moderator being away isn't a complaint about
Eliot, who did a good job for us all and didn't get many thanks for it -
moderators need a break just like anyone else.   But maybe Dave could
appoint a couple of stand-by's ready for when *he* needs a break?


So what now?
------------

So what now?  Go back to the mailing list?  Post to comp.sys.misc?
Create alt.sys.unisys after all?    I must say that if we do this,
all the vote will have done is delayed that group by 2-3 months.
I must say it because if I don't, someone else will :-) 

If there is now steady Unisys trafic in comp.sys.misc or alt.sys.unisys,
and it keeps up for at least 6 months, then another vote held then might
succeed (votes cannot be repeated in less than 6 months).

Finally - I think it is reflection on the state of the net that a
technical, computer based group like this fails, while all sorts of social,
recreational and political groups can be created with large majorities.
Usenet has ceased to be primarily a technical forum for better understanding
of computer systems, and is now a much more general talking shop.  Whether
this is a good or bad thing is not an issue I'll debate here.
