The trial period should be over in a month or so. Actually, what I would 
like to know from the "originator" (Denis?) is whether he is in touch with 
the appointed "judges" for t.s.c.i. and whether he knows on what measure 
they are going to base their decision. My understanding was that the
decision was going to be based on arbitron results. However, never in the
past four months any mention of t.s.c.i. appeared in the monthly posting 
of the arbitron results (not even for April, even though I am sure that 
at least five different sites carrying t.s.c.i ran arbitron in April...).
Are they monitoring the traffic on the group otherwise? If not, does 
this mean that the trial period will be extended or that the group fails?
As also somebody else asked, can votes be taken for a s.c.i while a
t.s.c.i. is in existence (or after a t.s.c.i. has failed)?

The distribution of the trial hierarchy seems to have lots of problems,
so I really hope that whatever is left of the trial period be as short 
as possible.
