Two weeks ago I called for discussion on forming comp.lang.cobol.
The discussion period is now over, and it's time to vote. I will
not summarize the discussion here. I did that in a separate article
in news.groups.

Some about the group:
Name    - comp.lang.cobol
Charter - Almost obvious. About anything that concerns the Cobol language.
          Compilers and products. Language problems. What you would expect
          from a comp.lang.* group.
The group will not be moderated.

Voting conditions:
How         - MAIL your votes to me, posted votes will be ignored.
Address     - My address is sommar@enea.se. If your mailer chokes on
              internet addresses you should think of fixing it. In the
              mean while route the mail over uunet or another backbone.
Vote format - I would very much prefer if you could modify the subject
              line to say "YES/NO to comp.lang.cobol". I would also
              appreciate if the body of your mail contained your
              real name and a reply address in domain format.
When       -  The voting period lasts from December 4th to Christmas
              Eve, 21 days according to the guideline. Votes that reach
              me on Christmas Day or later will be discarded.
Acknowledge - I will acknowledge all votes by mail, unless you explicitly
              ask me not to. Votes that don't contain a sensible reply
              address neither in the header nor in the body will not be 
              acknowledged.
                If the proposal passes I will post a list of all voters
              for verification.
Result      - I will post the result sometime in the beginning of 1990,
              since if I post it directly, many interested may miss it
              becuase of the holidays.
Repetition  - I will repeat this call for votes once, around the 13th.
