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.

Voting and Appeal Guidelines - - -------------------------------- This vote was conducted by a neutral third party member of UKVoting. UKVoting is a group of independent votetakers who count votes on behalf of the uk.* hierarchy and other 3rd parties. The rules under which votes for the uk.* hierarchy are taken are posted regularly to uk.net.news.announce or can be found at the following URL: The UKVoting web pages can be found at There is a five day discussion period after these results are posted to uk.net.news.announce. Allegations of irregularity should be sent to control@usenet.org.uk. ====================================================================== 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 . Warning Anyone posting contrary to this charter may be reported to their "postmaster" and/or Service Provider.
