comp.unix.microport reorganization CALL FOR VOTES

[John Owens]

OK - the votes are in for the nominees for the comp.unix.xenix
and comp.unix.microport reorganization.  The counts were

Choice 1:	11
Choice 2:	24
Choice 3:	8
Choice 4:	3
Choice 5:	1
Choice 6:	7
Choice 7:	5
Choice 8:	1
Choice 9:	16
Choice 10:	7
Other:		2

The winning choice was

#2:	comp.unix.xenix         Microsoft Xenix and its derivatives
	comp.unix.i286		UNIX on systems using the Intel '286 CPU
	comp.unix.i386		UNIX on systems using the Intel '386 CPU
	delete comp.unix.microport

And as noted in the first call for votes
	"delete comp.unix.microport" means, as Paul Vixie put it: Wait
	for volume to fall off, then delete it.  Post messages to it
	regularly telling of the existence of [the new groups].  I
	[Paul Vixie] will do this.

So, the official proposal is:

	Create the following two newsgroups:
	comp.unix.i286		UNIX on systems using the Intel '286 CPU
	comp.unix.i386		UNIX on systems using the Intel '386 CPU

	Delete comp.unix.microport (after a reasonable transition period).

Please vote either YES or NO for this package proposal by replying to
this address.  ALL VOTES MUST BE BY MAIL.  I'm not that hard to reach;
check out the signature.  If you really have trouble, call me.  If 100
more yes votes than no votes are received within a 30 day period, the
change will be made.  The 30 day period will end November 4; on
Monday, November 7th, I'll announce the results.

As before, followups to this article are redirected to news.groups.
If your news software doesn't obey the Followup-To: line, then edit
the Newsgroups: line of your followup.  Followup with an article ONLY
FOR REAL DISCUSSION; posted votes will not be counted.
