A lively little vote. There were the following invalid votes:
1 duplicate vote (later version counted);
1 webmail vote (see below) (ack bounced, no other form of contact);
4 e-mails commenting on the proposal (none apparently an attempt
at a vote, but all told how to go about voting if they wished);
2 bounced acks (both voters contacted by other addresses
in headers, both re-voted);
4 duplicate votes (see below) from a single origin, which the
originator (who had already voted under a known identity) admitted
when confronted.

======================================================================
4. Rationale and Charter from the CFV
- - --------------------------------------
RATIONALE: uk.tech.digital-tv.crypt
Non-encryption groups within the uk are being flooded with posting of
the encryption and I feel it would be of a good idea to have one set
place for this type of post.
CHARTER: uk.tech.digital-tv.crypt
uk.tech.digital-tv.crypt exists for discussion of all matters
technical in origin related to the encryption of digital television
transmissions, be they via satellite, terrestrial or cable.
Advertising
Advertising is forbidden.
Binaries & Formatting
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 must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly
formatted messages are prohibited. To see how to make some common
newsreaders comply with this, read
<http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html>.
Warning
Anyone posting contrary to this charter may be reported to their
"postmaster" and/or Service Provider.
