Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One vote counted per person, no more than one per account. Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid. Email addresses, names, and votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results list.
Vote counting is automated.
Failure to follow these directions may mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote. The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons who would read a proposed newsgroup.
