> THE PROPOSAL:
> =============
> The following groups are to be renamed:
> rec.ham-radio => rec.radio.amateur.misc
> rec.ham-radio.packet => rec.radio.amateur.packet
> rec.ham-radio.swap => rec.radio.swap
> Groups will be renamed by creating the replacement group, asking site
> admins to alias the old group to the new one, and rmgrouping the old
> group after traffic in it has died down, hopefully about a month later.
> This method has been shown to work in other hierarchies.
>
> The following groups are to be created:
> rec.radio.amateur.policy
> This group is intended to contain any and all discussion about policy
> issues pertaining to amateur radio, including, but not limited to,
> rules, regulations, laws, and legal actions by and against amateur
> radio operators. This group is to be unmoderated.
>
> rec.radio.cb
> This group is intended to contain discussions related to Citizens'
> Band radio. This group will be unmoderated.
>
> RATIONALE:
> ==========
> 1. Why move the groups at all? The primary motivation is to make it
> easier for interested people to find newsgroups related to ham radio.
> The rec.radio hierarchy was created after rec.ham-radio (net.ham-radio
> before the Great Renaming). It is an inconsistency in the namespace to
> have groups for similar purposes separated from each other, and that
> makes it harder for new users to find the desired groups. Further,
> this allows a change from ham radio to amateur radio (see next topic).
>
> 2. Why .amateur instead of .ham? It has been pointed out in discussion
> that "ham radio" is primarily an American term, and carries little
> meaning outside the US. In addition, there are negative connotations
> attached to "ham" that don't apply to "amateur". Some confusion also
> exists in the public mind about just what a "ham radio operator" is,
> as evidenced by the occasional "ham operator jams aircraft
> frequencies!" when the person in question has never been a licensed
> amateur radio operator.
>
> 3. Why a .policy group? A significant part of the traffic in
> rec.ham-radio is concerned with issues of policy. This includes
> substantially all of the flamage, which has in the recent past
> included such subjects as whether or not it's legal to order a pizza
> via an amateur repeater, the proposal to add a class of license that
> does not require knowledge of the International Morse Code, and the
> legality of modifying amateur equipment to transmit outside the
> amateur bands. The new group is intended to move the flames and the
> long discussions that never seem to get anywhere out of the main
> group.
>
> 4. Why use the name .policy, instead of .rules, .regs, .regulations,
> etc.? The group is intended to contain any and all discussion about
> any policy issues pertaining to amateur radio. This includes not just
> rules and regulations of the FCC and other national regulatory bodies,
> but also laws affecting hams (such as the infamous New Jersey scanner
> law), lawsuits over nuisance issues, antenna ordinances, frequency
> coordination and band planning, and the like. .policy is the best name
> that has been suggested for the group out of many possibilities.
>
> 5. Why not a .tech group? There are two reasons for this one. The
> first is that there's more to ham radio that's non-inflammatory than
> just technical discussions, and the object of a new group is to move
> the flames, not run away from them. A .tech group would leave those of
> us who are interested in more than just technical discussions, yet not
> in the seemingly endless legal discussions, left to wade through the
> flames. Second, Brian Kantor, who maintains the info-hams mailing
> list, has said that info-hams will continue to gateway rec.ham-radio
> (and, presumably, rec.radio.amateur.misc) only, and moving the
> technical postings off would deprive those on the mailing list.
>
> 6. Why create a .cb group? There is currently no place for Citizens' Band
> radio discussions explicit in the hierarchy. These postings currently wind
> up in rec.ham-radio, where they tend to generate flamage all out of
> proportion to their volume.
>
>
> THE MECHANICS OF THE VOTE:
> ==========================
>
> The voting period will run from Monday, 7 January 1991 until Monday, 28
> January 1991. Only votes received during that period will be counted.
> Each proposal is a separate vote, and must be voted on separately under
> the Guidelines for Group Creation (which have been applied to renames as
> well in the past).
>
> Please edit and send in the ballot below. Each ballot will be stripped of
> all but the From: line and the lines containing valid votes by an automatic
> process; I won't see any comments included. No individual acknowledgments
> will be mailed. Votes will be acknowledged en masse in a posting on Thursday,
> 18 January 1991, and complete vote results will be posted on Tuesday, 29
> January 1991.
>
> For each proposal, indicate your choice of a yes vote or a no vote by
> placing a Y or N, respectively, at the beginning of the line. The first
> character on the line that is either a Y or an N (case doesn't matter)
> will be counted as your vote on that proposal. You may abstain from any
> particular vote by deleting the line entirely from the ballot. An invalid
> line (one not containing a Y or an N before the "Proposal #n:" tag) will be
> treated as an abstention, as well. Mail the completed ballot to me at
> this address, jmay...@thesis1.hsch.utexas.edu, with the characters "VOTE"
> somewhere in the Subject: line. (Again, case doesn't matter.) Replying to
> this message with your newsreader's mail reply command ("R" in rn, readnews,
> vnews, and vn; I don't know nn's commamd) will work fine. Votes posted to
> the net will be summarily ignored and may earn the poster a free flame from
> the net.police.
>
> THE BALLOT:
> ===========
> ? Proposal #1: Rename rec.ham-radio to rec.radio.amateur.misc
> ? Proposal #2: Rename rec.ham-radio.packet to rec.radio.amateur.packet
> ? Proposal #3: Rename rec.ham-radio.swap to rec.radio.swap

> THE MECHANICS OF THE VOTE:
> ==========================
>
> The voting period will run from Monday, 7 January 1991 until Monday, 28
> January 1991. Only votes received during that period will be counted.
> Each proposal is a separate vote, and must be voted on separately under
> the Guidelines for Group Creation (which have been applied to renames as
> well in the past).
>
> Please edit and send in the ballot below. Each ballot will be stripped of
> all but the From: line and the lines containing valid votes by an automatic
> process; I won't see any comments included. No individual acknowledgments
> will be mailed. Votes will be acknowledged en masse in a posting on Thursday,
> 18 January 1991, and complete vote results will be posted on Tuesday, 29
> January 1991.
>
> For each proposal, indicate your choice of a yes vote or a no vote by
> placing a Y or N, respectively, at the beginning of the line. The first
> character on the line that is either a Y or an N (case doesn't matter)
> will be counted as your vote on that proposal. You may abstain from any
> particular vote by deleting the line entirely from the ballot. An invalid
> line (one not containing a Y or an N before the "Proposal #n:" tag) will be
> treated as an abstention, as well. Mail the completed ballot to me at
> this address, jmay...@thesis1.hsch.utexas.edu, with the characters "VOTE"
> somewhere in the Subject: line. (Again, case doesn't matter.) Replying to
> this message with your newsreader's mail reply command ("R" in rn, readnews,
> vnews, and vn; I don't know nn's commamd) will work fine. Votes posted to
> the net will be summarily ignored and may earn the poster a free flame from
> the net.police.
>
> THE BALLOT:
> ===========
> ? Proposal #1: Rename rec.ham-radio to rec.radio.amateur.misc
> ? Proposal #2: Rename rec.ham-radio.packet to rec.radio.amateur.packet
> ? Proposal #3: Rename rec.ham-radio.swap to rec.radio.swap
> ? Proposal #4: Create rec.radio.amateur.policy
> ? Proposal #5: Create rec.radio.cb

> The voting period for the rec.ham-radio.* reorganization is now over.
> The proposals to be voted on were:
> Proposal #1: Rename rec.ham-radio to rec.radio.amateur.misc
> Proposal #2: Rename rec.ham-radio.packet to rec.radio.amateur.packet
> Proposal #3: Rename rec.ham-radio.swap to rec.radio.swap
> Proposal #4: Create rec.radio.amateur.policy
> Proposal #5: Create rec.radio.cb
>
> The results are as follows:
> Proposal 1: 172 to 47...margin 125, percent in favor 78.538813
> Proposal 2: 178 to 42...margin 136, percent in favor 80.909091
> Proposal 3: 177 to 44...margin 133, percent in favor 80.090498
> Proposal 4: 173 to 44...margin 129, percent in favor 79.723502
> Proposal 5: 160 to 49...margin 111, percent in favor 76.555024
>
> As you can see, all five proposals have passed, since all five have a margin
> of yes votes over no votes of greater than 100, and all five have more than
> 67% (2/3) of the votes cast being yes votes.
>
> The five-day period of checking for duplicates and invalid votes begins as of
> the time that these results appear in news.announce.newgroups, per the
> Guidelines for Newsgroup Creation. If no problems that change the outcome of
> any proposal are found, then I will ask Eliot Lear to issue newgroup messages
> for rec.radio.amateur.misc, rec.radio.amateur.packet, rec.radio.swap,
> rec.radio.amateur.policy, and rec.radio.cb. In a month, I will ask him to
> repost the newgroup messages, and post rmgroups for rec.ham-radio,
> rec.ham-radio.packet, and rec.ham-radio.swap. I would ask sysadmins on the
> net to alias rec.ham-radio to rec.radio.amateur.misc, rec.ham-radio.packet to
> rec.radio.amateur.packet, and rec.ham-radio.swap to rec.radio.swap when they
> receive the newgroup messages - but not before.
>
> Thanks go to all who provided input into the process of shaping this proposal.
> It started out as one man's idea, but quickly grew to encompass just about
> every input even remotely compatible with the overall objective. Thanks also
> go to all who voted - as you can see, every vote counts, as just 6 votes the
> other way would have defeated rec.radio.cb.
>
> For those who keep track of when votes are received, 85 were received the
> first day, 128 by the fourth, 148 by the tenth, and 33 the day after the
> second call for votes was posted. Only 14 were received in the last week.
>
> I wound up writing a shell script to massage ballots received into the format
> you see below, and an awk program to generate the report at the top of this
> message. Anyone who's interested in those pieces of cruft (really, they're
> not pretty - they just work), just drop me a note and I'll pass them along.
