This is the second Call For Votes on the creation of a new newsgroup
called "comp.soft-sys.matlab" (not moderated).  At the end of the CFV
is a Vote Acknowledgement.  Voting began on 8 December 1992 and ends
23:59 GMT 7 January 1993.

			   2nd CALL FOR VOTES
			   ------------------

NEWSGROUP:
  comp.soft-sys.matlab

STATUS:
  Unmoderated

RATIONALE: 
  Discussed in RFD: see <BxnGHn.F8u@uunet.uu.net>.

CHARTER:
  The newsgroup 'comp.soft-sys.matlab' is a forum for discussing issues
  related to the use of Matlab, the scientific calculation and
  visualization package from MathWorks Inc.  This includes discussion of
  similar software packages which are also derived from the original
  public domain Matlab, such as Xmath from Integrated Systems Inc.

CONTENT: 
  Appropriate discussion in the group will include both general
  Matlab issues and platform-specific questions, and discussion
  comparing Matlab to other systems.  Some examples:

  General Matlab issues
	Answers to novices' questions, with an evolving FAQ
	Exchange of public-domain Matlab source code
	Use of commercial toolboxes (advice, bugs, etc.)
	Implementation of numerical algorithms
	etc.

  Platform-specific issues
	Graphical output
	Interface to external programs
	etc.

  Comparison to other systems
	MATRIXx/Xmath, and to a lesser extent Mathematica, AVS, Khoros, etc.

VOTING INSTRUCTIONS AND ADDRESSES:
   All votes should be sent to
          matlab-vote@nova.Stanford.EDU [36.10.0.123]

   "Yes" votes (in support of the formation of comp.soft-sys-matlab as 
   described) should contain a line of the form:
       I vote YES for the creation of comp.soft-sys.matlab.

   "No" votes (in opposition of the formation of comp.soft-sys-matlab as 
   described) should contain a line of the form:
       I vote NO for the creation of comp.soft-sys.matlab.

  Variations in subject line format and message body will be accepted 
  as long as the intent is clearly expressed.

  Voting Rules:

    - One vote per person. If you vote more than once, only the *last* of 
	those votes will count.  Therefore if you change your mind about
	the vote, you can send a new vote, which invalidates the old vote,
	as long as it is within the voting period.

    - Ambiguous votes will be invalidated.
	Ambiguous votes contain neither YES nor NO, or contain both,
	or are conditional, such as "I vote ... if ..."

    - Votes posted to any newsgroup will NOT be counted.

    - According to the USENET rules, in order for the new group to be created,
	at least 2/3 of the votes must be "YES", and there must be at least 100
	more "YES" votes than "NO" votes.

    - For more details on the voting rules being followed, refer to article
	<spaf-howto_715578991@cs.purdue.edu> in news.announce.newgroups.
    
VOTING PERIOD:
  Votes will be collected for a period beginning when this CFV is
  approved for publication in news.announce.newgroups and ending on
  Thursday January 7, 1993, at 23:59 GMT.  Votes received after the
  expiry of the voting period will be discarded.

  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.

  Votes will be periodically acknowledged in news.announce.newgroups,
  without revealing how each person voted.  At the end of the voting
  period, a final acknowledgement will be made showing how all people
  voted.  If the group passes the vote and no serious objections are
  raised during a 5 day waiting period, the group will be created.


VOTE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
  The following votes had been received as of 9:00AM PST 17 December.
  Note that there are several name formats, so be sure to search the
  entire list.  If you voted several days before 17 December and do not
  find yourself in the list, simply vote again from the same email
  address.  As described above, your most recent vote invalidates all
  previous votes.
