This is the first Formal Call for Votes for the creation of a world-wide
UNmoderated newsgroup Rec.Windsurfing on USENET.

This group is intended to provide a medium for those interested in
windsurfing to discuss and exchange ideas and views on the sport.  This
group will offload that discussion from rec.boats where it now takes place.

To vote, send E-Mail to:

   ..!sumax!pmc9439 or
   ..!uw-beaver!sumax!pmc9439 or
   pmc9439@sumax
or simply reply to this message.

The voting period will last from Saturday February 24 until midnight
March 16th, 1990.

To comply with USENET newsgroup creation standard guidelines:

Votes MUST be explicit!  They should be of the form "I vote YES for
the creation of the group rec.windsurfing as proposed" or "I vote NO for
the creation of the group rec.windsurfing as proposed".  Although this 
wording does not have to be used exactly as stated, the vote should be
totally unambiguous.

Only votes received during the voting period will be accepted.

Only votes E-MAILED to the vote-taker will count.
Posted votes and proxy votes will NOT be counted.

At the end of the voting period, if 100 more YES votes are received than
NO votes, and at least 2/3 of the total number of valid votes received are
YES for creation, then the new group rec.windsurfing will be created.  If
either of these conditions are not met, the newsgroup will not be created.
