To date I have seen a couple of follow-ups to the above, one indicated
that that is part of ham-radio, another indicated that packet had a
a new group created for it to move that traffic out of general ham-radio
discussions.

I would tend to agree with the idea that the ongoing discussions in
rec.ham-radio on a no-code/yes-code license and of other proposals for
changing the Amateur Radio Licence structure are of such volume that
those discussions might be moved into a dedicated group for those who
are interested to present their viewpoints without filling up rec.ham-radio.

CALL FOR DISCUSSION:

In line with accepted net practices, I would like to call for discussion
the formation of:

           rec.ham-radio.licensing 

Discussion might also indicate other possable names and/or guidelines
for such a group.

Althought this is posted to both rec.ham-radio and news.groups, the proper
place for this discussion is (I understand) news.groups.

For readers of the INFO-HAMS mailing list, I will also monitor that for
any discussion which you are unable to post to news.groups and summarize
and re-post that summery to news.groups prior to any call for votes.
