Subject: 2nd CFV and VOTE ACK:  rec.radio.broadcasting moderated
Followup-To: poster
Organization: Gagme Public Access UNIX, Chicago, Illinois.
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1992 16:25:25 GMT

This is the _SECOND_ Call For Votes on the creation of a new Usenet newsgroup
entitled 'rec.radio.broadcasting'.  For those of you who have not yet seen the
original CFV, I have included most of it in this posting.  At the end of the
CFV, there is a mass ack of votes received as of April 8, 1992.  If you
have not voted yet, and have an interest in this group, please vote now.

Voting will end April 30, 1992 at 12:00 midnight central daylight time.

Please read and follow voting guidelines carefully to assure that your vote 
will be counted, and that there will be no confusion.


============================ CFV  rec.radio.broadcasting ====================

STATUS:	  Moderated.


PURPOSE:  This group will be for the discussion of a wide variety of
	  subjects pertaining to the general arena of domestic radio
	  broadcasting.  Topics of discussion might include (but not
	  be limited to):  Programming, Engineering/Technical, Radio 
	  news and political coverage,  Challenges of secondary
          market stations, Innovations and legislation affecting
          the media, Historical and cultural significance,  Network radio,
          Domestic pirate broadcasting, Differences and similarities
	  in 'domestic' radio of various nations,  General items of
	  interest to broadcast professionals, hopefuls, affectionados,
	  and casual listeners, Assistance to those desiring to enter
	  the industry by providing a 'networking' infrastructure.

REASONS:  Everybody listens to the radio.  It influences our lives, our
	  political beliefs, musical tastes, purchasing habits, and
	  (hopefully) stimulates our imagination.  Radio, in it's many
	  forms, is pervasive.  It is the only mass media in which
	  one can fully participate while engaged in another 
	  activity.  Amazingly, there is no Usenet newsgroup dedicated
	  to the overall topic of radio broadcasting.  


LIMITS:	  I do not envision rec.radio.broadcasting to be a
          replacement  for such groups as rec.radio.noncomm or
          rec.radio.shortwave. Rec.radio broadcasting (r.r.b) would
          try to avoid dealing with subjects which are directly and
          _specifically_ related to the charter(s) of these groups,
          but will gladly cover _any_ subject which has significance
     	  to radio broadcasting in general, even if it involves
   	  noncommercial or shortwave  stations.  R.r.b would be
	  likely to shy away from discussions (flame wars) about
    	  specific performers & bands, except as it pertains to radio
	  programming and formats (there are many .music groups on
	  the net for such discussions).

MODERATION:  I have proposed this as a moderated group.  I have also
	  volunteered to serve as that moderator.  I believe in a
	  very 'light-handed' approach to moderation.  Basically no 
	  more than a buffer, re-directing misplaced articles, attempting
	  to quell excessive 'free-for-all-flame-fests' :-), and trying
	  to keep the signal/noise ratio on the 'signal' side :-).  
	  *** I AM NOT A CENSOR ***.  I will NEVER kill an article 
	  because it clashes with my beliefs or opinions!  In addition,
	  I have my own dedicated Unix system with it's own direct
	  Internet e-mail feed, I have time and energy to dedicate
	  to the project, I have had a life-long involvement with
	  radio and communication, plus the wise counsel and support 
          of many in the industry, and on the net.

==============================================

TO VOTE YES, SEND E-MAIL TO 'yes-rrb@gagme.chi.il.us'  (OMIT THE QUOTES)
TO VOTE NO,  SEND E-MAIL TO 'no-rrb@gagme.chi.il.us'  

(Note: be sure to address the vote EXACTLY as it appears above. Some
mailers require that you type a backslash \ prior to the @ symbol in
the address.  If you have trouble with the @ symbol, try this method.)


Only votes sent by e-mail, to the above address will be counted!  
Do not respond directly to this post.  Voting will end on 4/30/92.
No conditional votes will be accepted.  Votes should have a line in
the subject or body of the letter stating clear intent, such as..

"I vote yes on rec.radio.broadcasting as proposed"
                    _OR_
"I vote no on rec.radio.broadcasting as proposed" 

... or some similar non-ambiguous statement.  


If anyone desires direct correspondence with me on this subject, please
write to me at my personal e-mail address 'wdp@airwaves.chi.il.us'.
However, I will not enter into any discussion of vote totals or
projections while the vote is underway.  

** VOTES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AT THE 'AIRWAVES' ADDRESS! ***

If your vote should bounce, re-send it (with the original bounced header 
in tact), to root@gagme.chi.il.us.  The sysadmin will place it in the correct
mailbox.

If (for some reason) the 'root' attempt bounces, send THAT attempt to me
at my airwaves address and I will deal with it.


Thanks to those who expressed support.

Respectfully

William Pfeiffer
wdp@airwaves.chi.il.us
