Votetakers Comments:

This was a quiet vote, with little to cause problem apart from the
mail servers of my ISP suffering a denial of service attack towards
the end of the vote - no votes were late but I extended the period at 
the end before the vote was counted to allow for any delayed bounces.

NEWSGROUPS LINE

uk.media.radio.bbc-world-service	Programmes of the BBC World Service

CHARTER 
- --------
uk.media.radio.bbc-world-service

The newsgroup uk.media.radio.bbc-world-service is for the 
discussion of the World Service of the British Broadcasting 
Corporation. This includes not only radio programmes directed 
at a global audience but also those radio programmes intended 
for specific regions, e.g Africa, South Asia, etc.
  
Initial posts not related to the BBC World Service output are
not allowed; however, discussions that range more widely are
not discouraged.
  
Commercial and personal advertising is forbidden, unless as
part of a signature in a topical post. Even then, the
advertising should be kept to a reasonable level such that it does
not become the main feature of the post.
  
Announcements, not exceeding 20 lines in length, of relevant 
events are allowed.
 
Announcements of forthcoming programmes are allowed but must not
infringe the copyright(s) of schedule publishers; e.g.,
notification of a single programme would be acceptable: listings
of several programmes would not. Such announcement should be 
accompanied with a "SPOILER: " or "PREVIEW: " tag in the subject
header - see below.
  
Some radio programmes of the World Service are normally repeated 
at different times in order give people in different time zones 
the opportunity to listen at a convenient time. If a post 
contains information on an entertainment programme that has been 
broadcast for one zone but not yet for another, the subject header 
should include the word "SPOILER: ". If, however, the programme
is informative in nature, the header should include the word 
"PREVIEW: ". Ultimately, the poster should exercise good judgement
in deciding how to post information on a programme so as not to 
detract from its enjoyment by others who may not have had the 
opportunity to listen to it yet.
  
Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are
forbidden. Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which
a pointer may be posted. Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP)
may be used where authentication is important and should be as
short as possible.
  
Posts made to the newsgroup must be readable as plaintext. 
HTML, RTF and similarly formatted messages are prohibited. 
To see how to make your newsreader comply with this, read
<http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html.
  
Excessive cross-posting is inappropriate, especially where the
subject of the post is irrelevant to the groups posted to.
  
Test posts are not permitted.
