Subject: RESULT: comp.sys.stratus passes 192:11
Followup-To: news.groups
Organization: Pyramid Technology Corp., San Jose, CA USA
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 1992 20:49:37 GMT

This posting contains the results of the ballot on the formation of
comp.sys.stratus, an unmoderated newsgroup for the discussion of
Stratus computers and all software running on those platforms.

Voting opened on September 4th and closed at midnight on October 2nd
1992.  In that period a total of 203 votes were received, 192 in favour
of the creation of the newsgroup and 11 opposing its formation.  One
ambiguous vote remained unresolved at the close of voting.

These results exceed the guideline requirements for the formation of a
new newsgroup, which are that there be at least 100 more votes in
favour of the group than against, and that at least two thirds of the
votes be in favour.

The guidelines now call for a five-day waiting period, beginning when
this posting appears in news.announce.newgroups, during which
objections to the vote tally or vote procedures may be raised.  The
appropriate forum for such discussion is news.groups, to which
followups have been directed.

If no serious objections are registered by the end of the waiting
period the group will be created by David Lawrence, moderator of
news.announce.newgroups.

Voting results follow:

YES votes, in favour of group creation, were received from:
