Subject: RESULT: comp.sys.convex passes 292:7
Followup-To: news.groups
Date: 18 Dec 1992 20:59:39 -0500

Keywords: convex, newsgroup, votes, supercomputer, vector

At the end of the voting period (23:59 pm, December 17, 1992),
299 people had sent in their ballots in response to the CFV.

The proposal passed with a broad margin : 292 YES and 7 NO votes
were cast. 
this represents 97.7 % of YES votes 
                 2.3 % of NO  votes
The criteria for the creation of the comp.sys.convex newsgroup
are then fullfilled we have more than 2/3 YES votes and 
285 YES (> 100) votes more than NO votes.

As usual there will be a five day waiting period before the group
comes to existence. It might also take some day more before the
gateway with the user mailing list will be set up, Karen Birchelbach
is alledgedly collecting information to make it work. 
The newyear holidays would maybe slow down lightly the process.

Newgroup control message(s) will be sent out by David Lawrence, 
the moderator of news.announce.newgroups, after the 5-day waiting
period.  [[ The actual newgroup creation message will not go out
until 6 January, accounting for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
-- David ]]

I would like to express my gratitude to each and every one of you
whose participation has made this CFV a tremendous success 

THANK *YOU*  ALL *<:-) 

       *
      i**      and I wish *you* a Merry Christmas and an Happy New Year
     ****i    
    *i**i**    and a long life to the 'comp.sys.convex' newsgroup
