Please do _not_ send in votes for this newsgroup.  As noted below, the
voting closed on March 18th, 1996.  Sending votes or emailing the
votetaker is a waste of time.  The votetaker commented on June 3rd that
he was _still_ getting 100+ messages a day regarding the vote;  see:

genre.

Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 18 Mar 1996.

Votetaker: Michael Handler 

RATIONALE: rec.music.white-power

There is no appropriate newsgroup for discussion of White Power music, a
phenomenon which is international in scope.  Persons who have an interest
in this genre of music have no appropriate venue on USENET in which to
discuss this controversial topic.  Other rec.music groups' topics are too
dissimilar, and many of their participants are in no way receptive of
posts about this heated topic.  Some discussion of White Power music
occurs on alt.skinheads and alt.politics.white-power, but is inappropriate
there due to the former's mostly lifestyle-oriented matters, and the
latter's largely political nature.  Rec.music.white-power will prevent the
"intrusion" of fans into other, more vaguely-defined, newsgroups, where
they will not be welcomed.  Discussions would necessarily be free and
open, due to the topic's controversial nature.  This group should be
unmoderated because a moderator could exercise undue control over one
viewpoint's postings.

CHARTER: rec.music.white-power

All issues relating to the genre known as White Power music, since it's
inception until the present, covering all languages and nationalities of
performers, and all themes of pieces.

Rec.music.white-power is an unmoderated newsgroup for the entertaining
and enlightening discussion of revolutionary new forms of rock, country,
and other sub-genres having racist/nationalist themes.  Both supporters
and opponents will find the group educational and intriguing.

Potential topics will relate to the origin, development, and
dissemination of White Power music; to the artistic composition and
performance of the music; and to the personal opinions and perceptions of
those who enjoy particular bands and performers, and pieces.

END CHARTER.

IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:

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/HTML/CGI
forms are considered to be anonymous votes.

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.  Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of
the most recent valid vote.  Addresses and votes of all voters will
be published in the final voting results post.

The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of

edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud.
When in doubt, ask the votetaker.
