Since I haven't heard any proposals for schemes other than the three I
mentioned, I'm only going to take new nominations for ONE WEEK (to
allow for some propagation delay), but I don't expect to get any.  (I
might be proven wrong, which is fine.)

Nominations should be by MAIL, unless you really have something
important to say.  I'm right off of uunet, so I shouldn't be too hard
to reach.

So, on Wednesday, August 31, I will post a handful of nominees for the
reorganization plan for the comp.unix.{xenix,microport} groups.  I
will then take votes among these for a period of time.  I believe the
newest guidelines from the backbone call for a 30 day discussion
period to decide such things as naming; if we say we've been doing
this for a week already, we can make the voting among the nominees as
short as two weeks and still be within the guidelines; if anyone feels
it should take longer, send me *mail*.

Then, we'll do the "real" USENET 30 day yes/no vote.

I'm as impatient to get this moving as some of you are, but we need to
allow for some network delay.

Send in those nominations....
