CFV: comp.os.coherent

[Lar Kaufman]

The request for discussion period for comp.os.coherent has ended.
Only one item was in any way controversial - the name of the group.
It was suggested that the group should be named comp.unix.coherent.
This suggestion is not adopted because (1) Coherent is not Unix,
having been independently developed, and (2) the proposed group name,
comp.os.coherent, is consistent with the existing hierarchy of comp
newsgroups.  It is beyond the scope of the proposal to revise the
hierarchy.

Accordingly, this call for votes is for an unmoderated newsgroup named
comp.os.coherent.  The purpose of the group is to discuss and support
the Coherent operating system and related topics.  Coherent currently
resembles Unix Version 7, and is ported to ISA-architecture 80286-
and 80386-based computers.

The voting period shall extend from the time of posting of this
article until 11 PM GMT of March 27, 1991.  Only votes received 
by me (lark at tivoli.com) before this deadline will be counted.

	 HOW TO VOTE:

The reliable way to vote is to send email to me, Lar Kaufman,
at this address: lark at tivoli.com.

Posted votes cannot be counted; you must send mail to me.  The vote
applies only to the specific proposal to form comp.os.coherent, and
will not apply to any other proposal.  The vote must be explicit and
unambiguous.  I favor the form "I vote for comp.os.coherent as
proposed" or "I vote against comp.os.coherent as proposed".  Please
keep any further comments to a minimum.  I will be pleased to hear
other remarks in a separate message.

Thank you for your interest.
