DISTRIBUTION
------------
These RESULTS will be cross-posted to the following relevant newsgroups:
CHARTER uk.comp.net-client.turnpike
-------
This group is for discussing UK aspects of the turnpike net client.
e.g. discussion of: desired enhancements, bugfixes and workarounds, the
responses of the software writers etc.
Short advertisements (the shorter of 20 lines and 1500 bytes) would be
allowed, provided they were for related products - add-ons for example.
BINARIES are not permitted. (A binary group may be created later if a
demand is perceived to exist.)
CHARTER uk.comp.net-client
-------
This group would be for discussing UK aspects of net clients in
general.
e.g. discussion of: desired enhancements, bugfixes and workarounds, the
responses of the software writers etc.
As uk.comp.net-client.turnpike exists this general group should
obviously _not_ include specifically Turnpike matters, unless they
affect the subject in general. I anticipate that other sub-groups (e. g.
Pegasus, [Free] Agent, even WinDIS, and so on) might appear in time.
Short advertisements (the shorter of 20 lines and 1500 bytes) would be
allowed, provided they were for related products - add-ons for example.
BINARIES are not permitted. (A binary group may be created later if a
demand is perceived to exist.)
ONE-LINE DESCRIPTIONs:
----------------------
uk.comp.net-client.turnpike Discussion of UK aspects of the net client software `Turnpike'.
uk.comp.net-client Discussion of general UK aspects of net clients.
CALCULATION OF RESULTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FIRST question asked in the CFV was whether to create
BOTH a general and a turnpike specfic group, or;
a GENERAL group only, or;
a TURNPIKE group only, or;
NO groups.
There were 49 valid votes on this question. This vote was conducted by
the AV method.
Count 1 Count 2
BOTH 24 +4 28 (Elected)
GENERAL 7
TURNPIKE 9 9
NONE 9 +1 10
Non-Transferable 2
Suspense
Quota 26 25
The SECOND question was "if either or both groups are to be created,
should the group{s} be in the uk.comp or uk.net heirarchy."
There were 41 valid votes on this question.
29 voted for the uk.comp heirarchy
12 voted for the uk.net heirarchy
The groups will therefore be created in the uk.comp heirarchy.
The THIRD question was whether advertising should be UNLIMITED,
as suggested by the RFD or NOt allowed.
There were 50 valid votes on this question.
1 voted for UNLIMITED advertising
38 voted for advertising as RFD
12 voted for NO advertising
Advertising will therefore be permitted as follows (extracted from the
RFD and CFV).
"Short advertisements (the shorter of 20 lines and 1500 bytes) would be
allowed, provided they were for related products - add-ons for example."
