This is a formal Request For Discussion regarding the establishment of
a newsgroup to discuss issues and questions related to Windows
networking.

This announcement is cross-posted to newsgroups whose readers may have
interest in the discussion about the new group. Follow-up discussion
will take place in "news.groups". Comments may be emailed to me at

REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION
----------------------

NEWSGROUP

  comp.os.ms-windows.networking 

RATIONALE

  Networking in the Microsoft Windows environment has witnessed
  explosive growth in recent times, creating a broad base of computer
  users who need relevant and timely information in order to keep pace
  with the many new developments.  The advent of new networking
  technologies and standards, such as Windows NT and Windows Sockets,
  makes the need for information more pressing than ever before.

  The newsgroup would feature discussions on new developments and
  products in the networking industry, as well as information on
  existing and emerging standards and issues. Topics could include
  TCP/IP, OSI/GOSIP, X.25, NFS, FTP, SMTP, POP, X.400, FTAM, SNMP,
  Terminal Emulation, Network Printing, NetBIOS, SLIP, PPP, Windows
  Sockets API, Windows NT, and more.

  The newsgroup would provide an invaluable resource for everyone
  interested in learning more about the rapidly growing field of
  Windows networking as well as the various issues related to LAN and
  WAN networking. Creation of the newsgroup would reduce the traffic
  in comp.os.ms-windows.apps and comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy, which
  frequently have networking questions and issues. Creation of the
  windows networking newsgroup would be analogous to comp.os.os2.networking.

NEWSGROUP CREATION

Please post all discussion to news.groups.

This is an RFD to

1) unmoderate rec.games.cyber
2) remove rec.games.cyber moderated
3) create rec.games.frp.cyber unmoderated

  The first two votes might seem contradictory, but unmoderation vote is
included in case r.g.cyber won't be removed.

[[ Moderator's note:  the eventual vote will have to be to rename
   rec.games.cyber, moderated, to rec.games.frp.cyber, unmoderated. -- tale ]]

About the second one:
rec.games.cyber is not in it's right place in UseNet hierarchies. As it
deals with cyberpunk-genre roleplaying, it clearly should be under
rec.games.frp hierarchy.

The discussion period begun 7th December when the first RFD was posted.
It will continue at least to mid-January. CFV will be posted when consensus
has been reached or at last 31st January.

The charter follows:

rec.games.frp.cyber

This group is for discussing various aspects of cyberpunk genre
roleplaying and the rules of different cyberpunk roleplaying games.

All discussion of general roleplaying aspects, cyberpunk roleplaying
not involving rules of any cyberpunk roleplaying game, or aspects of
cyberpunk roleplaying appearing often in other games (like weapons,
they appear in other games, but not smartgun links, as they are mostly
found in cyberpunk but no other games) belongs to .misc or some more
appropriate group (like .advocacy).

Cyberpunk discussion not involving roleplaying or roleplaying games
might do better in alt.cyberpunk or some group in alt.cyberpunk hierarchy.

Some cyberpunk roleplaying games are Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2020, GURPS
Cyberpunk. This list is not exclusive since I don't know all cyberpunk
RPGs on the market. These are just examples of cyberpunk roleplaying games.

Proposed Newsgroup: rec.sport.rowing

Type: UNMODERATED

The purpose of rec.sport.rowing is to provide those who are interested
in the sport of rowing, with the ability to communicate with other fellow
rowers throughout the civilized world.  It would serve as an informant for
those who no nothing about the sport, those who want to share the latest
information on races and new equipment, and those who just want to share
their experiences with everyone else.  It gives everyone the opportunity to
enhance their knowledge of rowing and keeping fit. 


Acceptable Postings:

        1.  Any questions, comments, results, or suggestions which are related
to either rowing or erging.  

        2.  Any postings which may fall into the rowing category must deal
with:  sweep oar rowing, sculling, or coxing.


The proposed newsgroup, rec.sport.rowing, would open up a new frontier for 
rowers around the world.  Currently the only newsgroup which rowers are only 
slightly welcome to is rec.boats.paddle.  Rowing is completely unrelated to 
canoeing, kayaking, or river rafting, and the discussions which take place 
there are of no interest to rowers.  Therefore, it is necessary for a new 
newsgroup to come into existence.  Having a separate rowing group allows
readers to gain a sense of unity, and gives them the ability to discuss 
topics which interest everyone in the particular group.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------EVERYONE who supports rec.sport.rowing, please contact both me (Dan) at 
gumby@choate.edu, and Mark at MDD114@psuvm.psu.edu.  Also we need someone 
who is an experienced vote taker to be in charge of the CFV,  Any vounteers???
Also, spread the word to others about this proposed newsgroup.  The CFV should
be in about a month from now.  

Any suggestions for this charter please e-mail me.....

                       2nd Call For Votes
                       ==================

                     SOC.CULTURE.SINGAPORE
                     =====================

This is the second call for votes for an unmoderated group for discussion
of topics related to the cultural affairs of Singapore.
The request for discussion (RFD) was published 
about one month ago, and the discussion surrounding the group's 
creation was generally positive.  It's now time to put it to a vote.

NAME:
      soc.culture.singapore

STATUS:  
    unmoderated

CHARTER:
    Soc.culture.singapore will be a newsgroup where netters in general
    and Singaporean netters in particular can discuss issues related to
    the development of Singapore in the areas of science, technology,
    culture and education.

VOTING PROCEDURE:

  Send votes to:  cfv@ntu.ac.sg 

  Preferably your message should include one of the following lines
  in the body of the text:

      I vote YES for soc.culture.singapore
      I vote  NO for soc.culture.singapore

  We will be flexible in accepting other wording providing your vote 
  is made clear and unambiguous.  If we receive more than one vote
  from the same account;

    o If the votes are for the same side of the issue, We will
      count the votes as one vote. We will send email informing
      the voter that their vote is only being counted once.

    o If the votes are for opposite sides of the issue, We will
      throw out both votes. I will send email informing the
      voter that their vote is being discounted in this case.

  The voting begins immediately and will end at 11:59:59 pm EST
  on Thursday, Dec 31, 1992.
  In order for your vote to be counted we must receive it before then.

COMMENTS:
  
1.  My colleague, Siew-Cheong Mar, who first kicked off the dicussion
    to form the proposed newsgroup, had asked me to help him to call
    for votes.  Another colleague, Roland Yeo, would assist me in 
    counting the votes and posting the summary of the voting results.
    Anyone who has any suggestions or comments can email me
    at the address: "mfltan@ntu.ac.sg", but don't send your 
    votes to me. Send all your votes to the address: "cfv@ntu.ac.sg"

2.  During the discussion period, it is quite clear that the name of
    the proposed newsgroup should be "soc.culture.singapore" instead
    of the original proposal "soc.culture.singaporean".

3.  The guidelines for successful creation of a new newsgroup require
    that the vote taker receive 100 more YES votes than NO votes, and that
    the YES votes be at least 2/3 of all valid votes cast. At the end
    of the voting period, the vote tally would be posted as soon as
    it is ready.
    
    Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 1993 to everyone!

  This is a formal Request for Discussion on creation of a newsgroup
to discuss electronic mail security and software to provide additional
security in email.

PROPOSAL:
  Create a new newsgroup: 	comp.security.email
  Moderation status:		unmoderated
  Charter:			Discussions of security issues in electronic
				mail, discussions of applications software
				purporting to provide additional security in
				electronic mail, discussions of security issues
				in SMTP and ESMTP.

RATIONALE:
  There is currently a large and ongoing discussion, primarily in
sci.crypt but also in comp.security.misc and alt.security of the PGP
software for email security.  Although there appear to be unresolved
patent issues relating to the use of PGP within the United States,
there are active users of PGP in many parts of the world and there is
active PGP development outside the US.

  There is also existing discussion of Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM),
which will have new RFCs appearing very shortly.  At present PEM
discussions are less in volume than the PGP discussions, however there
are several implementations of PEM that will appear as soon as the
RFCs are released by the IESG.  At least one PEM implementation will
be freely distributable within the US and Canada.  Usually reliable
sources indicate that other implementations will exist outside of
North America after the RFCs are published.

  The discussions of PGP are really beyond the normal scope of
sci.crypt and reportedly have had the effect of drowning out the prior
discussions.  There are sufficient postings on PGP and PEM in existing
newsgroups to justify creating a separate group for discussions of
email security.

PROCEDURAL MATTERS:
  Discussion of this proposal should occur in news.groups for at least
3 weeks from the date this is posted to news.announce.newgroups.

  If there appears to be a consensus on the name and charter at that
time, a formal Call for Votes might be issued.

  I would prefer for some neutral 3rd party to count votes on this
proposal if it should come to that.  Volunteers at well connected
sites can send me email indicating their willingness/ability.

DISCLAIMER: This proposal and text is strictly the proposer's personal
thoughts and the proposer is not acting on behalf of or with the
consent of his employer in this matter.  The proposer is most
certainly not speaking in any way on behalf of his employer.

This is a repost of a message I originally sent on 23 November.

--begin repeated message--

I am planning on taking what I consider a well-deserved vacation from
news.announce.newgroups around Christmas and New Year's.  I'd like to
do it now, because I am quite majorly stressed out, but Christmas is a
better time to do it.

I have two options; let someone else do it for that period, or just
shut it off.  At this point, I am choosing to do that latter.  This is
mostly as a benefit to all concerned parties, especially the people
proposing new groups.  The winter lull in USENET is usually even more
notable than the summer lull, as not only are the students away from
school but many professionals are also taking their breaks.  Getting
widespread participation in proposals is especially difficult during
that time of year.

So, for the period from 20 December through 3 January I will not be
posting any articles.  Submissions will be accepted, but time frames
will all have to be shifted to account for a 4 January posting date.
People proposing groups at this time will also want to keep this break
in mind, especially regarding their voting periods.

Thank you for your understanding.

--end repeated message--

I do have some control messages scheduled for 21 December, which I
will send.  Any successful new results posted before 20 December will
have their control messages scheduled for 6 January.

I had a request to post my regular mail address.  Here 'tis:

This is a formal Request for Discussion regarding the establishment
of three newsgroups and deletion of one present newsgroup.  This would
call for the creation of one group dealing with air-cooled Volkswagen 
automobiles, a second dealing with water-cooled Volkswagen vehicles,
and a third for other discussion of the VW family of vehicles.  Since the
groups created would be an effective split of <r.a.vw> into three
sub-groups, this RFD calls for the removal of the group <rec.autos.vw>.  

This announcement is cross-posted to newsgroups whose readers may have
interest in the discussion about the new group; follow-up discussion
will take place in <news.groups>. Suggestions, comments, and problems
may also be emailed to me at <matocha@engr.latech.edu>.

REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION
----------------------

CREATION OF NEWSGROUPS

	rec.autos.vw.air-cooled        (un-moderated)
	rec.autos.vw.water-cooled      (un-moderated)
	rec.autos.vw.misc	       (un-moderated)

REASON

Many readers have interests in either singly air- or water-cooled
VWs, and do not care to read messages concerning the opposite
engine types.  Others do not hold interests in the discussion
of other makes of vehicles in the VW family of autos. 

CHARTER

The first two groups would house the separate discussions of the 
Volkswagen vehicles with air-cooled and water-cooled engines.  
Vanagons should be discussed in their respective engine type groups.
The third group <r.a.vw.misc> would be present for other discussion 
of the Volkswagen family of products including different makes (Audi, 
SEATs, Skodas, etc).  The groups will be forums for the discussion of 
all topics concerning automobiles of the specific engine type, including 
restoration, discussion of new models, performance modification, sources 
of parts, and mechanical problems.  


REMOVAL OF GROUP

	rec.autos.vw

REASON

The use of <rec.autos.vw> would be superseded by the use of the
separate air- and water-cooled groups and the .misc group.  

Discussion will occur in news.groups.

Time is running out to vote on the proposed newsgroup:

    talk.philosophy.objectivism
    unmoderated
    For the discussion of all topics related to Objectivism (the
    philosophy of Ayn Rand).

Votes will be accepted until 18:00 GMT Tue 22 Dec 1992.

If you have an opinion and haven't voted yet, I suggest that you do.
If you think you're vote doesn't matter, let me assure you that
you're mistaken (trust me).

HOW TO VOTE:

Send e-mail to amc@wucs1.wustl.edu (replying to this post should yield
that address).  The Subject line is irrelevant.  The body of the message
must contain one (and only one) of the following two lines:

I vote in favor of talk.philosophy.objectivism as proposed.
I vote against talk.philosophy.objectivism as proposed.

Text preceeding or following the line is ignored.  If the message
contains one of the above two lines (exactly, including the period at
the end), then it will be recorded and an acknowledgement will
automatically be sent to the address in the From field.  If the message
contains neither (or both) of the lines, then I will receive it, process
it, and send an acknowledgement manually.
