Thank you.  A copy of first call for vote follows:

The discussion has shown that there are strong interest for creation of
sci.electronics.micro-elec newsgroup.  Further more; most people
have suggested the name to be adopted as above.  To finalize the creation 
of this newsgroup, we have to vote on creation of this group formally.

This new newsgroup, which is **not** to be moderated, is to focus on various
areas of microelectronics, solid states, semiconductors, semiconductor
devices, lithography, quantum electronics, semiconductor processing
(such as CVD, MBE, etc...), different IC technologies (such as VLSI,
ULSI, WSI, 3DI etc..) , digital, AF, RF, MMIC technologies, optical
components (such as LED, LCD, Lasers), optical fibers and ...

The question has been asked that why sci.electronics can not function
as an appropriate group for this purpose.  As a electrical engineer,
I can see that not every electrical engineer has the backgrounds,
and interest in this subject.  This area of electrical engineering, like many
other electrical engineering subareas needs the background and training of it's
own.  For example, the same way that electrical engineering could be considered
an area of physics, or computers could be considered an area in electrical
engineering, nevertheless each of these branches of the original field
has grown to a stage that are a specialty by itself.  The same way micro
electronics has grown to a stage that needs it's own group.  There is
special issues on the chemistry of the semiconductors, on the solid state
physics of the devices, on performance of the devices form electrical
engineering stand point and many other aspects of this field.  Therefor,
in order to collect all various area in one newsgroup, it is proposed to
create a separate newsgroup dedicated to this purpose alone.

According to network procedures, there is no more discussion allowed, at
this stage of the game, about the proposed newsgroup name.  You can either
vote yes or no on the creation of this news group by sending your vote
to me sehari@iastate.edu in the following format:

your_email_address,  Your_name,  your_vote.

your_vote should be either a Yes or a No. Please, only send your vote. Any
other materials received regarding this issue will be ignored, according
to the net procedures.  The votes will be received up to 3 weeks
(21 days) after the first posting of this formal Call For Votes (CFV).

                     With highest regards,
                          Babak   Sehari.
