Reiteration of the Call For Votes:

> This is a formal Call For Votes (CFV) for the formation of a new Usenet
> newsgroup, comp.sys.stratus, as described below.  The RFD for this
> group was originated by Bob Wise (rmwise@apdev.mci.com) and was posted
> in news.announce.newgroups on August 4th 1992.  Discussion in
> news.groups in the ensuing 30-day period has been favourable, and no
> significant objections to the group's name or charter have been raised.
> 
> The newsgroup will be constituted as follows:
> 
>     Name:	comp.sys.stratus
> 
>     Status:	unmoderated
> 
>     Charter:  Discussion of Stratus hardware and any and all software
> 		that runs on it.  Discussion will include Stratus
> 		hardware badged by other vendors, including the IBM
> 		System/88 and the Olivetti CPS-32 lines, and will
> 		include the VOS, FTX I (SVR3) and FTX II (SVR4)
> 		operating systems and applications executing over those
> 		operating systems.
> 
> Vote addresses:
> 
> 	"Yes" votes (in support of the formation of comp.sys.stratus as
> 	described) should be sent to
> 
> 		stratus-yes@pyramid.com
> 
> 	"No" votes (in opposition to the formation of comp.sys.stratus
> 	as described) should be sent to
> 
> 		stratus-no@pyramid.com
> 
> 	You may change your vote at any time before the expiry of the
> 	voting period by simply submitting a new vote.  The last vote
> 	to be cast by any given individual before the end of the voting
> 	period will be counted; earlier votes cast by that individual
> 	will be discarded.
> 
> Vote format:
> 
> 	Votes should carry a subject line confirming the voter's
> 	intent, either "I vote yes on comp.sys.stratus" or "I vote no
> 	on comp.sys.stratus" as appropriate.  Variations in subject
> 	line format will be accepted as long as the intent is clearly
> 	expressed.  If the vote carries an empty subject line the
> 	message body will be inspected for confirmation of voting
> 	intent.
> 
> Votes sent as replies to the CFV:
> 
> 	Votes sent as replies to the originator of this CFV
> 	(moliver@pyramid.com) will be counted as "yes" or "no" votes
> 	according to their subject line or message body.
> 
> Ambiguous vote resolution:
> 
> 	Ambiguous votes -- those whose subject lines do not make clear
> 	the voter's intent, or whose subject line clashes with the vote
> 	address -- sent to either the vote addresses or the reply
> 	address will, where possible, be returned to their senders for
> 	clarification.  Ambiguous votes which can not by returned to
> 	their senders or for which no clarification is provided will be
> 	identified in vote mass acknowledgements and in the final vote
> 	tally.
> 
> Voting period:
> 
> 	Votes will be collected for a period beginning when this CFV is
> 	approved for publication in news.announce.newgroups and ending
> 	at midnight on Friday October 2nd 1992.  Votes arriving at the
> 	voting addresses or the reply address after the expiration of
> 	the voting period will be discarded.
> 
> And remember, it's one person, one vote.
