CFV: comp.lang.tcl.announce moderated
FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
moderated group comp.lang.tcl.announce
Newsgroups lines:
comp.lang.tcl.announce Announcements about Tcl. (Moderated)
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 18 Dec 1995.
This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. Questions about
this proposal should be directed to the proponent.
RATIONALE: comp.lang.tcl.announce
Traffic on comp.lang.tcl has grown to the point where readers would
benefit from a separate newsgroup just for announcements. Moderating
the newsgroup would ensure that it was low-volume. General discussion
of Tcl would continue on the unmoderated newsgroup comp.lang.tcl.
CHARTER: comp.lang.tcl.announce
Comp.lang.tcl.announce is a moderated newsgroup for announcing new
developments about Tcl and related software and extensions such as the
Tk toolkit, including new software releases, periodic postings related
to Tcl, and other items of general interest to the Tcl community.
END CHARTER.

VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. 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.
DISTRIBUTION:
This call for votes is being distributed to the following newsgroups:
news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, comp.lang.tcl,
comp.lang.misc, comp.windows.x
