FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
unmoderated group talk.politics.libertarian
Newsgroups line:
talk.politics.libertarian Libertarian politics + political philosophy.
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 GMT, 22 November 1994.
This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting
questions only contact asolovay@geoworks.com. For questions about the
proposed group contact Thomas Grant Edwards <tedwards@src.umd.edu>.
The vote-taker will post each CFV to the LIBERNET mailing list at
<libernet@dartmouth.edu> shortly after it is posted to
news.announce.newsgroups. He will send an abridged copy of the RESULT
posting (without the full list of voters) to the mailing list after
voting ends; the full RESULTs will be posted to all the newsgroups
where the CFV was posted.
CHARTER
The proposed newsgroup talk.politics.libertarian is intended for
discussion of the libertarian political philosophy, libertarian
views on certain political issues, as well as discussion of the US
and worldwide libertarian political movements.
RATIONALE
The newsgroup alt.politics.libertarian has been in existance for
quite a while now, and has not gone away. There also exists a
long-lived mailing list LIBERNET, as well as a student libertarian
club mailing list and a US Libertarian Party list. Several
libertarian World Wide Web sites and ftp sites are also available.
A discussion on alt.politics.libertarian has resulted in zero
opinions against and several opinions for creation of a
talk.politics.libertarian group. It is expcted that most
alt.politics.libertarian readers would switch their reading to
talk.politics.libertarian.
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.
Give your name on the line that asks for it. Place the word YES or NO
between the brackets before the group name. Don't worry about spacing
of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your reply inserts.
Then mail the ballot to: votes@geoworks.com
Just "Replying" to this message should work, but double-check the
address before sending. If your vote isn't sent to
<votes@geoworks.com>, it won't be counted.

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.
Each person may vote only once, no matter how many accounts he or she
may have. Also, only one ballot will be accepted from any account, no
matter how many people may share it. If more than one vote is received
from any person or any account, only the last vote received will be
counted.
Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final
voting results list. All ballots received are kept in the UVV archives
(including "cancelled" and invalid ballots). The vote files are made
available to the moderator of news.announce.newgroups on request. They
may also, at the discretion of the UVV, be made more widely available
if there is a controversy concerning the vote.
