     If the 100 vote margin is not met, the group should not be created.

--- 116,125 -----
     If the 100 vote margin is not met, the group should not be created.
+    The newgroup message may be sent by the vote-taker (if able to do so)
+    or by the system administrator on the vote-taker's machine. If this
+    option is not available, then the vote-taker may send mail to
+    "newgroup@ncar.ucar.edu" saying that a successful vote has been run
+    and requesting that a newgroup message be sent. DO NOT send the vote
+    results; we can look those up in news.groups if we haven't seen them
+    there already. In any case, please send mail to Gene Spafford 
+    (spaf@purdue.edu) informing him of a successful vote, so he can add the
+    new group to the official list of groups which he maintains.
