Subject: RESULT: comp.graphics.animation passes 249:6
Followup-To: news.groups
Organization: Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp., Design Systems Division
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1992 02:42:09 GMT

	The voting period for the unmoderated group comp.graphics.animation
has ended.  The vote was near to a shutout in favor of creation, with
a final tally of 249 for, and 6 against.

	Here is the charter:

Charter for comp.graphics.animation
-----------------------------------
|       comp.graphics.animation will be a newsgroup where discussion
| of the techinical aspects and technique of computer animation will
| take place.  This *DOES* include (but is not limited to) such topics
| as:
|
|       1] Hardware and software used for an end result of a computer
| animated sequence.  These include modellers, renderers, animators,
| etc.  This topic, however, is limited by a mention later in the
| charter concerning threads that become TOO system specific.
|
|       2] Application of knowledge of other types of more "standard"
| or "formal" animation to computer animation.
|
|       3] Discussion of the technical aspects or techniques used to
| generate existing computer animations.
|
|       4] Forums for showing your own work and viewing other's
| animations.  IE: Film & video shows/contests/competitions.  It's often
| hard to know where to look to see computer animation, or where to get
| your own work shown to the public.  Hopefully this will alleviate some
| of the problem.
|
|       This *DOES NOT* include (and is not limited to) such topics as:
|
|       1] Pure artistic commentary on an existing animation.  (IE:
| "The computer animation in that movie was great!")  SOME artistic talk
| is allowed (actually, encouraged), but only for the purpose of leading
| to (or working in sync with) a more techinical discussion (IE: "How
| did they do that nifty computer animation?").  After all, this is a
| comp. group.  If you want to discuss just artistic merit, please do!
| (I'll probably join you!), but do it in a rec.arts. group.
|
|       2] Highly system specific conversations.  If a thread becomes
| too dependant on a certain software package or hardware setup, it will
| be encourgaed to move to the appropriate comp. or comp.sys group.
|
|       Obviously, since the group is not moderated, it will be
| impossible to keep conversations topical.  However, posters will be
| encouraged (by means of some mention in the newsgroup's FAQ) to take
| their discussions to a more suitable newsgroup.

	Listed below is a final ACK for all votes received.  There
will now be a five day waiting period during which time you will have
the opportunity to correct any errors in the list below.  Errors
should be reported to [ddebry@dsd.es.com].

	Following the waiting period, assuming there are no serious
objections that might invalidate the vote, the news.announce.newgroups
moderator will send out the message to create comp.graphics.animation.
