I was surprised to see this in comp.emulators.misc before Melissa
received it via e-mail.  I hope most people on the Executor list will
vote for the creation of this newsgroup even if they don't yet receive
news since we will continue to have the mailing list and will gateway
the two.

RATIONALE: comp.emulators.mac.executor

The Executor Interest mailing list has 687 subscribers and a great
number of regular posters, and the amount of traffic has become
overwhelming.  When the idea of a newsgroup arose, an interest poll
was floated on the list, the results of which showed that the great
majority of respondents desired to move to a newsgroup.

Comp.emulators.misc is a topically appropriate forum which already
contains some Executor traffic, however, the volume of Executor
discussion in the mailing list far exceeds what would be appropriate
in comp.emulators.misc.  Much of the Executor Interest mailing list
discussion revolves around specific aspects of Executor, and the
amount of this traffic could inadvertently squelch the discussion of
emulation technology in general.  Members of the Executor user
community who lack access to Usenet will continue to be served by a
mirroring of the Usenet group to the mailing list and vice versa.

CHARTER: comp.emulators.mac.executor

Comp.emulators.mac.executor is for general discussion of ARDI's
Executor software Macintosh emulator.  Executor users and potential
users are encouraged to discuss Executor bugs and workarounds and to
share tips for getting Executor to work properly with specific
hardware and/or software.  ARDI will post announcements of new
versions, and provide other help when possible.

Criticism, advice, and mutual user assistance are all expected and
encouraged.  Advertisements and off-topic postings are forbidden, as
is the posting of encoded binaries or any information on obtaining
pirated software.

The group will be gatewayed with mailing list Executor Interest,

END CHARTER.

HOW TO VOTE:

You should send E-MAIL (posts to a newsgroup are invalid) to:

      [e-mail]

Check the address before you mail your vote.  Your mail message must contain
one and only one of the following vote statements for each group:

      I vote YES on comp.emulators.mac.executor
      I vote NO on comp.emulators.mac.executor

You can also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL.  These votes are not counted in the
results, and CANCEL removes your name from the vote listing in the result.

Names are required for this vote.  The counting software will extract your name
from the mail message if your mailer is properly configured; if your mail
software does not indicate your real name, you must include the following
statement and add your name (on the same line).

     Voter name:

Vote counting is automated.  Failure to follow these directions may mean that
your vote does not get counted.  If you do not receive an acknowledgment of
your vote within three days contact the votetaker about the problem.  IT'S YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE IS REGISTERED CORRECTLY.

If you wish to change your vote, simply vote again from the same account;
duplicate votes are resolved in favor of the most recent vote.

THIS IS NOT A SECRET VOTE.  Names, addresses, and votes will be published in
a RESULTS article in the same newsgroups in which this CFV appears.

The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons
who would read a proposed newsgroup.  Soliciting votes from disinterested
parties defeats this purpose.  Please do not distribute this CFV.  If you must,
direct people to the official CFV as posted to news.announce.newgroups.
Distributing pre-marked or edited copies of this CFV is vote fraud. When in
doubt, ask the votetaker.

Standard Guidelines for voting apply.  One person, one vote.  Votes must be
mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.  Anonymous, forwarded or proxy
votes are not valid.  Votes mailed by WWW servers are considered to be
anonymous votes.

DISTRIBUTION:

In addition to the groups named in the Newsgroups: header, the CFV
and the eventual RESULT posts will be mailed to the mailing lists:

[e-mail]  (posting address)
[e-mail]  (subscription address)
