CALL FOR DISCUSSION: RAPD-L transfer to BIOSCI.

[Dave Kristofferson]

We have received a proposal to assume administrative responsibility for
an existing mailing list called RAPD-L.  The current list maintainer
will retain his position as discussion leader of RAPD-L.

Proposed USENET name: bionet.molbio.rapd
E-mail address: RAPD-L

Discussion will now be open through 18 February on
BIOFORUM/bionet.general (*not* on BIONEWS/bionet.announce).

Please do not post one-line messages saying only "I am in favor of
such a newsgroup".  We will collect votes later.  The discussion
period is an opportunity for anyone to bring up reservations about the
proposed charter and to propose modifications prior to the vote.  The
discussion leader may submit a revised proposal in light of the
discussion, and the new charter would be included in the call for votes
which will go out on 19 February.

Please be aware that only one vote is counted per e-mail address, so
it is necessary to have your own account in order to vote.  Multiple
votes from the same address are not accepted.  If you are interested
in the following newsgroup, but do not have an e-mail address of your
own, please obtain one from your computer center before the call for
votes is issued.
