Since in the first 36 hours since my last posting I received 36 YES
votes and 0 NO votes, I guess it is unresonable to wait seven days....

The following article has been posted to news.announce.newgroups.
Note that there is no set time limit for the discussion period, so
that if I do not receive significant objections within the next week,
I will issue a call for votes.
The voting period will be between 21 and 31 days long.
I will keep you posted on any developments.

I am hereby issuing a call for discussion on the creation of the
newsgroup soc.culture.italian.
This shall be unmoderated and its charter will be the discussion of
any aspect of the italian culture, ranging anywhere from politics to
entertainment.
I shall point out that this group has been running under the trial
hierarchy for almost five months.
Unfortunately, it seems from the reports I have received from other
USENET users/system administrators that the trial hierarchy is NOT
received on a majority of sites, therefore it is my opinion that the
TRIAL method is not able to fulfill its aim.
The traffic on trial.soc.culture.italian has been pretty intense (an
average of 4-5 postings every day, even on something like 50 sites)
even though italian universities have just recently gained access to
USENET thanks to the collaboration of RPI.
In consideration of the aforementioned facts, I would like to make the
discussion period as short as possible.
I welcome any suggestions, requests for clarifications or
modifications to any aspect of the newsgroup's charter.


					Thanks for your time,
